Upper/lower Bleph and Right Eye Brow Lift (41yr old)

For the past few years not only have i been bothered by the appearance of my tired eyes but also felt like my whole eye socket(s) were always heavy and weighed down. My eyelids had droopy skin (especially the right one) and i had bags under my eyes even after trying so many different cremes, botox and home remedies. I finally decided that i wanted to do this for myself. I'm on day 13 and although this has been the most aggravating and debilitating (might be a strong word) procedure i've ever had done. I've had a c-section, breast implants and other female procedures and none of those bothered me like this one has....but i don't regret it! I chose to only have the local anesthesia and that was a good choice. I wasn't sick afterwards and i wasn't in any pain during or afterwards. I was "uncomfortable" for a couple days but not pain. My vision was blurred the first 3 days but i was expecting that. The tightness and horrible headaches (headaches lasted for 9 days) were the worst part and i really think the brow lift may have been the reason for those ailments. On day 5, i had a true bleed from my right eye (worse eye and the side with the brow lift). I was standing in my kitchen talking with my kids and i felt something in the corner of my eye and when i touched it...i discovered it was bright red blood. It bled pretty good for about 15 mins and had me concerned. My husband called the dr. on call and he had me apply ice which stopped the bleed. I woke up the next morning with a haze or film over my eye. For the next couple days i took it easy and would have to q-tip the gunk out. I still feel tenderness and goodness it hurts to sneeze! Been avoiding sad movies so i won't cry and can't really laugh too much and crinkle the face. My dr. told me on day 8 that it was ok to wear makeup. Even though i was still hesitant i decided to wear some the next day since we were going out to a Father's day dinner. I felt great however, it was hard to get the makeup off since it still hurts to put any pressure around my eyes. I'm not a whiny person and have a high pain tolerance but this truly hurts! So, my lower incision lines got some mascara residue in them and i'm going to see my dr in 2 days for him to look at it. His nurse told me they have a special tool that will get it out if so. With that being said....to me, it's not worth trying to wear make up again until these incisions are healed completely. My family will just have to continue to look at me like this! I'm sharing some pics of my progress so far and will continue to update so please check back!

Headaches have subsided. Right temple still tender to touch. This is the side the browpexy was performed. I still chose not to wear eye makeup until i feel my incisions are 100% closed and not red anymore. I put a little concealer on my top lids on day 17 and it burned a little on the top scars.
Still feeling happy thus far. :)

I really think today was the first day I felt somewhat normal. It's is late & right before bed. I feeling a little more positive each day. The corner of my right eye is still tender & I still have some dryness but I'm happy.
