Will Massaging Address Lower Lid Droop or Just Make the Under Eye Creepy? (photo)

June 22, 2012
Asked By:Yerual

I'm 2.5 weeks post-op bleth, cheek implants, co2 laser, and mid-face touch up. My right eye is drooping and the massage prompted by my PS seems to just be making the under eye skin creepy. I've only been massaging for 5 days, 3x per day for 60 sec. with no improvement. The PS also has me on Lasik 2x per day to reduce swelling. I'm really worried that I'm doing more harm than good.
