The verdict
Return journeyOctober 5, 2013
WORTH IT$10,000
I have had a bit of on-off under eye swelling and wanted to wait until it was all settled before giving my final review of the procedure and PS.
Now everything is good and I LOVE it. I am thrilled with the result! Doing this was totally the right decision.

Waiting for the paint to dry
Return journeyAugust 12, 2013
Meanwhile here's some photos taken today. As you can see there's still a bit of swelling left.
Thought I'd also mention what I thought was useful post op:
- I spent a fortune on fancy cool pads. They were way too heavy. Ziplock bags with a handful of frozen fruit placed over wet gauze was much better.
- Buy sanitary gauze packs and lots of, for cleaning and putting under the ice.
- Q tips for cleaning and putting ointment on.
- I liked using saline water like in the hospital under the ice so bought a few small pouches of that.
- A good, squishy travel pillow was fantastic added comfort for those nights sleeping elevated on pillows. It also kept my head central so I didn't fret about rolling and pulling anything.
- It would have been useful to have some over the counter panadiene (panadol and codeine). I needed a bit more than panadol at nights but the prescription pain killers were far too strong after the second night.
- Laxitives - oh-me-oh-my, the troubles all those meds caused!
- Good quality skincare products. The anaesthetic nailed my skin and turned it into a big flaky mess. Any concealer I used to hide the bruises looked terrible over all the dryness.

Looking better every day
Return journeyAugust 11, 2013
I've been quiet for a while because I am still a little bruised and puffy so nothing much new to report. Every day the swelling goes down a bit more and I get a glimpse of the end result, which is very good.
I went shopping today. It was brilliant! Malls were the pits before - all that downward strip lighting, every time I caught my reflection I'd see those great, horrid sausages on my face! Now, even with the bruising, I look 100 times better. Yay!
I'm not putting my official PS rating up until I get to see the end result, but I would absolutely recommend him based on my experience so far.
