While discussing plans to have my eyelid surgery...

While discussing plans to have my eyelid surgery with a co-worker during lunch time thinking everyone else was out for lunch, another co-worker over heard us. I just laughed it off pretending it was a joke until everyone started asking me during the office Christmas part WHY I was going to have it done. Some even brought up botched plastic surgery horror stories. I work for a large ophthalmology practice and although we do have an eyelid surgeon, he does not specialize in Asian eyes. His expertise is for older patients or those who have droopy eyelids that hinder their vision.
Long story short, EVERYONE now knows I am having this procedure done. There are only four Asian employees in our large office, so trying to explain to everyone why I would spend any amount of money to have an elective surgery on my eyelids so my eyeliner or eye shadow won't smudge sounds senseless to them. Everyone keeps telling me I look beautiful the way I am and that beauty comes from with in and what if it turns out worst! Geesh!
I feel beautiful, but what wrong with wanting to feel SUPER beautiful?! Lol! Yes, everyone heals differently, but I am confident in choosing Dr. Charles Lee because I've seen his results. Since everyone already knows I am having this "controversial" elective surgery on my vacation time, I'm just going to come back with SUPER sexy eyes and make sure they take a picture of me and put it in the company newsletter. Who knows, they might be asking me where they can get their eyes done too.
I'm looking forward to my new eyes February. I will post before and after pics.

How can I post a pic with my Samsung GS?

No bruising, pain from 1-10 is 1, right eye has stitch that is vertical central on upper lid so the eyelid is a bit perkier than the left eye. Overall, I feel great and can't wait to see them in a week!

Yay! Would you feel comfortable posting pictures?

I tried, but my Samsung GS4 apparently isn't able to. I'm going to try posting them from my sister's phone tomorrow.
While putting on more Vaseline today, I noticed that I couldn't feel the q-tip on my eyelids. Did you experience that?

You can't feel it at all? I remember I felt pressure I didn't feel any pain or anything ,, just hurt a little getting the stitches out.

My eyelids are still a little numb along the lashline and it's been about 6 weeks or so. It's a little better than it was right after. Along the incision line it's still tender for me.

I can feel slight pressure if I press down on the swelled lids, but I can't feel the Q-tip glide over them. Hmmm...I didn't read anywhere of anyone who had any loss of sensation, so I hope it was because it came back.
