Upper Bleph - Austin, TX

I haven't been paying attention to my eyes because I was released back into the wild with my follow up. No more restrictions so I have been back to my active lifestyle and loving my eyes! I haven't even done full makeup yet. But here are a few pics...one without mascara and one with mascara.

The small area to which I scratched the other day has finally healed up and the little scab fell off and all is good. The incisions on both sides have already started to fade and though they still feel tender and I am treating the area with a very gentle touch, I am already more then delighted with the results of my upper bleph thus far. I know I will continue to heal for several more months as things fade and settle, but the difference I see in the mirror just blows me away! My husband keeps complimenting me and telling me how pretty my eyes look. While he was always a very kind man and never told me the "old eyelids" made me look old, (he is also a smart man hehe!) he has been very vocal about telling me how gorgeous my eyes look now! We both see a huge difference!! My "bitchy resting face" is at least 80% less bitchy now! heheheh! :D I have not put on any eye makeup yet so I am excited about the possibilities when I do! I posted a quick shot of my lids, as you can see, the area I scratched healed up quite nicely. I will start using the scar therapy pads on my incisions once I go for my 4 week follow up.

My flanks are sore and sometimes burn and feel stiff. Because I didn't really think about the healing that is involved for the fat grafting, I was less prepared to consider the healing aspects of actual liposuction. I didn't really think it would be this uncomfortable because it was only one area of my upper thighs. I was more concerned about how my face would look with the fat in it then I was with where he was getting the fat from and that actual procedure. Thankfully the resources here are fabulous and I have been able to speak to another gal who assured me that this level of discomfort is expected even 3 weeks post op. She suggested I wear some sort of compression garment to help with the tenderness. I have now been wrapping my upper thighs with sport bandages and it does help a lot. I do not own any spanx but think I shall invest in a pair of their shorts to hug my thighs for me while I heal. So those of you getting facial fat grafting done, be prepared to be uncomfortable in the area to which is used for the fat harvest. It does hurt and IS uncomfortable way longer then it takes for your upper bleph to heal! Oh, and on a good note, my face looks incredible with the added fat! I am completely delighted with the results!!
