I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation and after care. We use a specific protocol of exfoliation, hydration, and moisturizing along with protection after treatments. PDT therapy can calm any inflammation. Be sure to use proper sun protection (see link). See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The result of your deep peel is acceptable. What your posted photos demonstrate is a ptosis of your right upper eyelid and the need of lower lid bleoharoplasty.
