Older Than Dirt Gets Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty - Palm Beach Gardens, FL

I was at the doctor's office yesterday - 15 weeks post revision. His opinion of the tight, thick sensation is that there is a internal stitch that hasn't dissolved yet. I expressed my unhappiness with one eye tilting up and one tilting down, so he took some photos to compare with previous pics and said we will re-evaluate in another 3 or 4 months. He wants to give it a chance to soften up a little more. You can see in the pics from February 16 (just above this) where there is more of a crease at the corner of the left eye, and NO crease at the corner of the right eye. Didn't bother posting new pic because it hasn't changed in appearance since February.

So here we are six weeks post-revision. Words can not express how unhappy I am with the results of the revision. This was done to correct the ectropion on the lower right eyelid. I think the doctor over-compensated and pulled the lid too tight. That's how it feels, as well as feeling thick and hard, and it is an uncomfortable feeling. I don't know if there is a chance that this will soften and relax over time. I keep massaging it with vitamin E oil. There was a small bubble next to the left eye (see prior photos). He removed it, but as you can see, there is a scar almost an inch long, and deep and ugly. It's worse than the scar on my forehead where he removed a large cyst during the original bleph in August (see prior photos). All in all I would say the cure was worse than the disease. I would have been better off leaving it alone. Of course, I don't know if any of this will improve as time passes. I saw the doctor the week after the revision when he removed the stitches, and he doesn't want to see me again until April. I don't know how this will end, but I'm really, really not happy.

Here are some pics 5 days post-revision. A lot of swelling on upper lid of right eye and malar area below both eyes. At this point I question whether my eyes will be symmetrical when it's all over. My vision is better today, but I'm not feeling confident enough to drive. I'm scheduled to see the doctor on Tuesday, hope he removes the stitches. They are feeling tight and pulling. Using warm compresses and applying ointment several times a day.
