How Long Are Your Eyes Red After Milia Extraction?

S
selfimposedhermitJan 3, 2011

I am going for milia extraction in a few days on a Friday. How long will my eyes be red after this? Many small ones on upper eyelids and below eyes. I have to go on a business trip on Monday and don't want to look like a freak. (been there, done that) Only difference is that I started taking Omega 3 capsules. I'm going to stop! Thanks for any advice on the redness!
