Left Eye Repair 2 Months Post Surgery

  • 17 Feb 2014
  • 2 months post
I had a little more skin removed from my left eyelid last week. It was a minor procedure performed in the doctor's office. The hardest part were the 3 injections to numb the lid. After that, I could not even feel the cut or the sutures. It didn't take long at all before I was on my way home. I had a little swelling when I got home that I kept ice on. I believe it was mostly from the injections. I have had no bruising to the eye at all. I even drove myself 4 hours the next day for a little vacation at the beach!

The stitches come out in two days and I expect to be even more happy with the way my eyes look.

One Month Check-Up

  • 1 month post
Today I visited the doctor for my one month check-up. My right eye is healing nicely but the left eyelid has 3 little pooches. He discovered a stitch was still in and once he removed it, two of the pooches went smooth! Amazing! He recommended a Mederma cream for the scar on my scalp from the brow lift. The incision is healing nicely, but the cream will speed things up. He said my hair is already growing through the scar which is good news.

The downside of the visit is that my left eyelid needs a little more skin removed for best results. The left eye was always more droopy and it still is. I have an appointment in 3 weeks for him to do this. It will be in his office under local anesthetic and will take about 30 minutes. He says I can drive myself home afterwards. I will have stitches again for a week.

Dr. Stewart feels like I will be completely happy with the results once this correction is made. I am already so much happier with how I look and have no doubt that this correction is the right thing to do.

Looking Great!

It has been two weeks and one day since the surgery and I feel great! This morning the doctor removed the remaining staples and said everything is healing nicely. There is still a tiny bit of puffiness, but that is so minor. I also have numbness in my scalp and I'm not sure that the feeling ever comes totally back. My forehead is smooth and my eyes are no longer squinty. My brows are much more level than before. I see the doctor again in 3 weeks. He took some before pictures and will take after pictures at some point. I have given him permission to use them for whatever. I mentioned to Dr. Stewart that I was impressed by how close the incision is to my hairline. Since my forehead is so high, he did not want to place the incision back into the hair and pull it up even further. So the incision is right at the hairline. He said he hopes that placement will allow hair to actually grow in the scar which will camouflage it even more!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Stewart. He is a board certified general surgeon and a board certified plastic surgeon. He is articulate and very good at anticipating your questions. He explains things so thoroughly that you are really left with few questions. He is relaxed and never in a rush to get you out. For my initial complimentary consultation visit, he took over an hour with me and even drew pictures to show me how they perform a blepharoplasty. He is always empathetic with my concerns and never treats them lightly. For example, on the morning of my surgery he expressed sympathy that I was not able to have coffee. It was such a little thing but made me feel so much better. When I went to his office the day after surgery for a follow-up visit, he made sure I was escorted straight back into an exam room. I didn't even sit down in the waiting room with other patients. Since I wasn't feeling very good at that point, this meant a lot to me.
