I had upper and lower Bleph on Jan 26, 2018. Today would be 3 1/2 months after surgery. I have what seems to be milia. My next appointment will be mid June. Dr said to wait since I am a strong or slow healer, he will re-check and will take care of the bumps. Any recommendations to avoid additional scar tissue?
The only thing my doctor says is you must be one of those. I have lost confidence in the doctor. Would you have any advice for me? Would Arnica help at this point? I am willing to wait for the swelling to go down, but I am beginning to wonder if there is something that I can do to hasten the result. I also have the bumps at the end of where the stitches were and the doctor says, if not better in another week, call and I will inject steroid. I am also not comfortable with that answer.
I had upper blepharoplasty and one of my eyes is not fully closing from day 1 PO (over 12 weeks now). What Ive noticed if that if I help the lid with my finger to close it will stay closed. Also, some days the opening is wider and other days it almost non-existent. My doctor said she doesnt have any explanation why it happens. Meanwhile I have to keep moisturizing the eye otherwise it starts to hurt. Any suggestions what is causing this? Im considering finding another oculoplastic surgeon t
I had sculptra over 3 months ago on my temples and mid face . I am 54 and had 1 vital each side of face. It has migrated to my under eyes. I now have puffy bags . Is there anything I can do? I heard morpheus8 can help.. Also will it continue to get worse? Thank you so much!
3 months post lower bleph, & still visibly swollen under one eye. The doctor -- a highly rated oculoplastic surgeon is recommending a steroid/hylenex injection to the area to improve swelling, and a series of RF o tighten skin. I'm very nervous about hylenex as so many people report here that it's left them hollow, with less natural HA, and there's a lot of negative reviews of RF for diminishing facial fat. Im already thin and dont want to lose volume.
Had a lower blepharoplasty on the first of September. There were some improvements but im not totally satisfied with my results. Was thinking of getting a revision in a couple months. I still have like a long lump right under both my eyes, kind of looks like swelling but i'm not sure. Had my eye bags since birth. I have pictures where I lightly press under the tear trough area and I like how I look in those. Could revision surgery make me look like the pictures where i'm pressing under my eyes?
Hello, I've had upper eyelid surgery 3 months ago, and post op had awful swelling and bruising especially in my right eye (left on photo). Till now I can see that the right eye looks different from the left and from prior, the crease is higher but the eye alone is smaller. Also the left eye (right on photo) has a thin skin fold and the tissue underneath is a bit raised, while on the right eye it's more sunken and the fold is not natural to my eye. My doctor tells me there is still some fluid and scar needs longer time to heal. I am concerned it will stay this way and my eyes won't be close to symmetry (as I know I shouldn't expect 100% symmetry). Curious to know whether in my situation time will heal or I will need revision surgery. Many thanks in advance!
Hi - Good day. I am so worried and embarrassed of my lower eyelids after having surgery, hoping will build my confidence. My scars are visible and seem the tissue under has rise. What can I do to resolve??
I'm an asian male and the incision line seems a bit higher than usual. My surgeon said she did it at 6.8mm but it looks high and now it creates extra fold in between (3months PO) Will this be better after 6 months or do I need a revision
I had surgery 3 months ago on my lower lids and mid face fat transfer. I don't know what the surgeon did but I look terrible. My eyes are sunken in and now I have creases under my eyes I never had before/ my right eye is botched. Is there anything that can be done? The surgeon is trying to work with me but I don't know what he can do to fix what he did. I am devastated and have been stressed over this everyday. It's hard for me to look in the mirror without crying.
