I had upper and lower Bleph with cauterization of my mallar festoons 3 months ago. At five weeks Co2 laser which seemed to make things look worse. At 3 months My festoons look worse, dark circles on cheeks, wrinkleling. I look awful. Have had laser for the pigment done 3 times, using hydocortisone as well as bleaching cream and warm soaks. I have seen no improvement in the last month. Doctor says healing is prolonged but Im progrssing. Im not seeing much progressing during the past month. Suggestions?
