Sorry but the advice you were given by your doctor is nonsense. I have been using hot compresses on my eyes and that has given me incredible results. No more eye bags, shadow, excess skin whatsoever!
Thanks darling. They say "whoever said patience is a virtue, probably never had surgery". I think I am getting there. Have been applying Ling Vitamin K serum (which cost me nearly £100) , Vichy Retinol + Vichy Eyes Serum(£30) combined with vitamin E and Bio oil that I massage the scar tissue twice a day, things have started to look better. I do however believe that PS's should be honest about the recovery time and possible implications. I read many doctors' replies stating that you could go back to work within 2 weeks. That is not true. In my case I had to wait 4 weeks, and even then I had to wear Yves St Laurent concealer (Touche d'Élat) to conceal the dark eye circles and scars on the outer corners of the eyes. I honestly wouldn't
have had this procedure had I known the implications as my eye bags were only subtle.
I had lower bleph. The healing has been very emotional. I wasn't very concerned at first as I thought swelling and bruising are bound to happen. These have now gone, and I have ended up with dark eye circles which apparently can take up to 6 months to disappear. Sometimes, I ask myself what's the purpose of having surgery to look better when in fact you are going to look awful and depressed for a few months? I suppose it's a matter of accepting the improvement- if there is any?- at the price of going through the emotional roller coaster of the long recovery process.
I am at 4 weeks post op, and although the swelling has completely subsided I developed dark circles underneath the eyes. At first I was satisfied with the progress but now it seems that I will have with these dark circles for a good while! At least, that's what my surgeon said. In other words, the healing was good, but the final results do take a few months. I use touche d'éclat concealer, and even that doesn't hide them completely. I feel down at times, but I think that is the price to pay if we want to become beautiful girls! Eh oui, il faut souffrir pour être belle!
