Upper & Lower Eyelid Surgery - Cancun, Mexico

Yes, I was attending a conference in Las Vegas so made arrangements to have my surgery whilst I was in the northern hemisphere.

Hi all

Thanks so much for your comments and support.

Today is day 19 since surgery.

My swelling has gone down a little bit more since my earlier post, however there is a large fluid deposit on my lower back (lumbar region) and my face is still pretty swollen.

Sinced the surgery I have become anaemic (was apparently close to requiring a blood transfusion). My doctor said I lost a lot of blood during surgery, then I had major long distance travel dramas 1 week after surgery and he believes the huge stress I went through has cause my body to go into shock.

Apart from feeling exhausted and looking a bit "yellow", I am very short of breath. My doctor has advised that this is also due to being anaemic.

My liver and my kidneys are functioning below normal, but are improving.

My eyes are also improving slightly, however are still very dry, I am extremely sentisive to light and my vision is still blurred.

The last 2 days I have felt less depressed - there were times when I just wised someone would shoot me.

Thanks again everyone

I had upper and lower eyelid surgery, fat transfer to cheeks, MACS facelift, neck lift with neck lipo (as well as breast augmentation and body lipo-sculpture) 16 days ago.

I am really struggling with how overwhelming it has been (and still is).

My eyes feel extremely dry and my vision is a little blurred. My bruising has almost gone (I take Arnica every day). I still have some swelling - under my chin feels like a rock.

I had blood tests during the week and my iron levels are very low - the iron supplements make me feel sick.

Any advice anyone - I'm feeling quite depressed.
