They don't look swollen anymore. I can go out without make up. They look beautiful with make up on.

Tips for taking a shower, ointment, eye drop

User Avatar

I used goggles / swim glasses to take shower. It's not recommended for someone had lower and upper eyelids done. Start from the back of your head with rubber side and gently cover your eyes. Do Not slide them down, it can pull or push your stitches. If it hurts a little bit or you got pulling, pushing sensation, it's not for you. Mine didn't hurt me at all and I took shower everyday after 3rd day of operation. I had eye boogers ?? So I started using "refresh PM" and put more in the morning then gently wiped it out. I didn't use eye drops much my eyes were not dry or irritated. So goggle thing is totally something I thought about and used. So do it on your own risk if you decide to.

You look great! I had a consultation with Issa Eshima and Carolyn Chang. He did a very nice job with your eyes. If you don't mind, how much were all your fees?

He wasn't cheap. Eyes only were around 6900$ which is a double fee of regular surgeon. ( yours might be cheaper, I had previous scar) I didn't want to worry about my outcome and did lots of research. I won't have another procedure for next 10 years so I went for it, it's not like I got too much money. He really cares about you and outstanding surgeon. I got my stitches removed today there's no big scar or anything abnormal looking. You should go with whoever you feel the most comfortable. I didn't have any other consultation. I set up an appt based on his reviews and felt comfortable in person. Good luck!

Oh I thought you were going to have a surgery I see you did already. I don't think your fee was that different from mine

I believe mine was closer to 9K. She did an amazing job, too. I just had a skin pinch on my lowers and skin removed on my uppers bc of hooding. You look amazing. Thanks for the response! I really liked Eshima as well.

You'll be more beautiful in a month or two :) you did the right choice. You don't wanna trust your face with cheap doctor. It's risky. Thank you for kind words. I posted them thinking it might help someone going through the same thing, other posts really helped me :)
