Why am I taking so long to heal and do you think I have hyper pigmentation staining or something? Thanks
He certainly are swollen but possibly still within the spectrum of normal. Certainly, even some of my patients have had postoperative healing that went on longer than I expected. In general you can expect to look fairly natural or normal within about 2 weeks of Asian eyelid surgery or double eyelid surgery. Whether it be incision technique Asian eyelid surgery or suture technique Asian eyelid surgery you certainly want to avoid social situations for around 2 weeks if you are very private or shy about the surgery that you just had.You need to follow up closely with your surgeon. In some situations injections with Kenalog or 5-fluorouracil can be helpful. Massage or warm packs can also help but do not do any the settings before consulting with your surgeon or another facial plastic surgeon. Also, do not use scar gels or creams or special ointments at this time. That will most likely irritate the skin and make it worse. Antibiotic ointment at this time would be a particularly bad idea.Go see your doctorChase Lay, MDAsian eyelid surgery specialist
