on upper eye lid surgery

My surgery was a breeze. I had only two very small bruises; which was in about a week. I returned one week to have my stiches removed by his nurse. His nurse instructed me to very gently wash my eye lids twice a day with baby shampoo and to be sure that my hands were clean before I washed my eyes. I did not have a lot of swelling. The nurse was amazed at how good my eyes looked in only a week. I think the most important thing that helped my eyes recover so quickly was that I kept ice packs on them for a week, and I slept in my recliner for 2 weeks after the surgery ( when I would try and lie down for a nap, my eyes would swell up) while continuing to keep ice packs on them off and on; rotating ice with warm heat packs after the first week. I love the way my eyes look, they are very natural looking. I will go back for my doctors visit on the 4th. of this month.

Surgery was a piece of cake

Today is Monday; had my surgery on Wednesday. No pain, very little and just a couple of small brusies . Can't see suture lines except where they are tied at the corner of each eye. They are to be removed this coming Wed. I had only the upper eyelids done, did not need any work on the bottom. They both look the same shape and very natural. No problems closing my eyes and only mim. amount of dry eyes. I am so happy that I had it done , my eyes look so rested and no longer droopy. Can't thank my doctor for such a wonderful job.

Surgery this coming Wed.

I am so excited. Only a day before the " big day" yea ! Not nervous at all for some reason. Will just be glad when it is over. Thanks to everyone for all the great advise and encouragement.

Dr. Vekovius was Super nice. He explained everything and answered any concerns that I had. I would highly recommend Dr. Vekovius to anyone in Louisiana. I had a 5 round trip drive ,but it was well worth the drive. He really knows what he is doing. Medicare paid every penny for the surgery.
