1 Month After Upper Eye Lid - Swelling Normal?

Recently Had Lasik - Reading, PA

I have have more than 8 treatments and may tattoo is about 75% gone. It is a long process, but every color can eventually fade. I think each tattoo ink is different and there is no way to predict how long the treatments will take.

CC,
I completely understand how you feel. I was very depressed after the surgery and had myself convinced that my eyes were ruined.
It took months for them to heal, even up to a year. Eyes aren't any different from any other part of the body. They need to heal. So think about how long it takes for a scar to heal. Long.
It has been 1 year and 4 months, and all is well now. Since I am in my 40's, I do need reading glasses but only with dim light. I work on a computer for a profession and don't need glasses.
I love not needing contacts or glasses anymore.
I have friends that had the surgery, and they healed very quickly. Just remember everyone heals differently, I happened to be that small percentage of people that healed very slow.
If you want to talk, email me @ golfaz@ptd.net.
Keep your chin up.

I have had 5 treatments for tattoo removal and the black and red tattoo has faded and the teal tattoo is only slightly faded.

It takes a lot of painful treatments to completely remove them.

I am taking a break from tattoo removal for awhile....

Britt,

Thank you so much for the reply. You are kind.
It was a horrible weekend, but I do have the faith.

You scar does look a little higher than what I have seen. But I can tell you that the redness and scar does fade in time.
It was been a year for me and there is no longer any redness.
