Asked By:geishagirl in California, CA

5/19 - upper bleph, mid face lift, fat injections. I had deep under eye hollows, which runs in my family. Post sx intense upper eyelid and under eye bruising and swelling. Still have raccoon circles on entire socket. Lymph system may be under active and not helping. Spent last 4 months wearing glasses non stop to hide undereyes. Trying lymph massage, hydroquinone, topicals. Makeup doesnt hide circles -only glasses hides swelling. My surgeon has f/u sx scheduled for December. Best options?
