I have read all these comments and problems you guys are having. I have to say that I must have a really good ps. I am 2 weeks today post op and you can hardly tell I have any scaring at all. I had really bad bruising, since I bruise very easily and it is amazing how quick it went away. I have no bruising at all now, no swelling, and where the incisions were was a little bumpy as you have described but all I had to do was massage moisturizer where they were and the bumps and the pinched look in the inner corner of the eye is gone in just 2 weeks. The doctor let me wear makeup in just one week except right on the incision where he removed the stitches but where the incisions were it is a little light red but when I put highlighter on the upper brow the crease just looks I have put shadow there too. I had really bad sagging skin that even covered my eyelashes somewhat and my vision was geting worse because of it. Now I can see better, my eyes look great and I can wear eyeliner that you can see now that you were unable to see before. I had no trouble with dry eyes or anything at all, was only out of work for 2 days and that was because I stayed home to put ice packs on my eyes for swelling and to keep my head elevated. I had no pain and no complications at all. I'm sure everyone heals differently so all I can say is be patient and you will overcome all your concerns. I had read all these horror stories before I had the surgery and expected the worse but none of the things they said happened to me, I used no ontiment, no eye drops and feel great and feel great about myself. I now have creases which I didn't have before and I'm 59 years old and people tell me I look 10 years younger. This has been a great experience for me. Good luck to all of you.
