What's been happening, has anyone recovered from this beast yet? I have been up and DOWN for quite a few weeks now....I thought I was making progress but I really don't know anymore....I think you make some progress and get so over the moon about it and then that becomes the norm and you realise you are still not looking anything like you were before the injections ...I've really been in despair for a while now....as I am now 18 months post injections and my eyes are still crepey and NOT tight underneath. There HAS been progress but it's so small and crawls...I had to come on and write to you today as on Monday I went for an appointment with Ophthamology (Eye clinic) and spoke to a Doctor there about my eye woes. Before I tell you the bad news, I'll tell the bad news. ha. I told him that I was doing eye exercises to try improve things and he told me that I have very likely been making things WORSE. He told me that by tightening your eye like that all you are doing is stretching the skin there and adding to the problem. I could have cried right there on the spot as I have been doing that for months on end, sometimes for up to twenty minutes on a stretch. I can't say for sure if what he is saying is true but it makes sense and I am just too tired to even think anymore about all the contradicting stories we are being fed. The next thing is he had no knowledge of this procedure, he openly admitted that. He tried to explain my eye area away but suggesting I had aged NATURALLY !!! Or had lost weight.....arrrggghhhhhh, I could have screamed. One thing I know is this is all so dreadfully wrong....there are people out there injecting this stuff into peoples faces and nobody seems to know or care about it ...and nobody is monitored....I am so down today as I just want my eyes back to the way they were....I am slowly starting to accept that this is it, I am going to have to deal with the fact that the old me is gone :( Has anyone had any good progress????? ANd if so, how far on are you since injections?
How you doing! Well, this is probably NOT a good idea for me to write today, ha. I have been up and DOWN for quite a few weeks now....I thought I was making progress but I really don't know anymore....I think you make some progress and get so over the moon about it and then that becomes the norm and you realise you are still not looking anything like you were before the injections ...I've really been in despair for a while now....as I am now 18 months post injections and my eyes are still crepey and NOT tight underneath. There HAS been progress but it's so small and crawls...I had to come on and write to you today as you asked a very important question and that was about the exercising...WELL, from everything that I have read and also when I contacted a plastic surgeon from the US, exercising was advised but if you are doing it STOP in your tracks to think about it for a while because on Monday I went for an appointment with Ophthamology (Eye clinic) and spoke to a Doctor there about my eye woes. Before I tell you the bad news, I'll tell the bad news. ha. I told him that I was doing these exercises and he told me that I have very likely been making things WORSE. He told me that by tightening your eye like that all you are doing is stretching the skin there and adding to the problem. I could have cried right there on the spot as I have been doing that for months on end, sometimes for up to twenty minutes on a stretch. I don't know about you but I am stopping it right away...no more stretching....I can't say for sure if what he is saying is true but it makes sense and I am just too tired to even think anymore about all the contradicting stories we are being fed. The next thing is he had no knowledge of this procedure, he openly admitted that. He tried to explain my eye area away but suggesting I had aged NATURALLY !!!

Hey there! Well, my eyes still have some way to go but they are probably about 70 percent recovered.....It is very difficult to track as you see improvements and get so over the moon by them but then you get used to them and realise you are still a way off being back to normal :( My eyes are DEFINITELY still improving and I am at the 18 month mark....I have seen more improvements (it seems) in the last 3 months than I have the entire time....My right eye is almost back to normal and my left eye is dragging....BUT the way I see it is my right eye was just as bad as my left and if THAT's improved to this state then there's every reason to hope that my left eye will follow...I really hope it starts getting better for you, it has been such a horrible time, I really couldn't comprehend my eyes ever getting better, I still can;t, even though they ARE improving.....whether they go back to full health I am yet to see but after 18 months they are still moving and tightening, that I can guarantee!!!! :D
That is very good advice Eyes Chicago...I know what you mean about being confuses about what was and wasn't there before...it's a horrible thing....but totally true.
