Asian Eyelid Surgery - Beverly Hills, CA

Asymmetry... :(

I feel like I am one of the unlucky ones. Just about everyone else on here has such beautiful results in just a matter of weeks. Perhaps I am just a slow healer. Today, my spirits are down. My eyelids feel tight, and it hurts to blink because I can feel a pull, more so on the right than the left. I don't feel sexy and can't recognize myself in the mirror. I look like I have Down Syndrome or have gotten a bad reaction from a bee sting. My eyes feel a lot heavier than it did the first time. They are even more swollen because of the trauma from the revision. I am sooo afraid of sneezing...and sneezing usually come in twos. Lol. Not only are my eyelids extremely swollen like I just gotten a good beating from an MMA cage fight but around my eyes and my cheeks. The bruising is worst than it was the first time. I have a feeling my recovery time will be longer due to the revision from just 5 days PO of the initial surgery. I don't think within a week any amount of makeup or eyelashes will make me look normal. I'm even afraid to put on eyeliner or false lashes for fear of pulling out more of my real lashes. Besides, I can't even feel both eyelids or the upper eyelash line near the nasal corners, so I'm too afraid I won't be able to feel the corners of the false eyelashes digging into my eyelids and possibly causing an infection. There is nothing I can do but just give it time and try to stay as optimistic and positive as possible.

I have been icing on and off. Dr. Lee said it would be okay to let water run down my face in three days. I just pray and hope it loosens up some of the tension, brings the swelling down, and the tingling warm feeling where the creases are down. I hope it's not signs of infections and just trauma.

I will post update pics in another week. I wanted sexy tapered eyelids, but I have a feeling they are going to end up round. I'm sooo tired. Nap time again.
