First time wearing makeup
SiliconValley216December 10, 2017
10 days of living but doing nothing but the healing regiment. But I was invited to a party and I don’t have scabs so I hooked up my makeup.
I for the first time ever highlighted my lid by the lashes and could see the color white my eyes open! So fun.

It is definitely worth it! If you have a good doctor you shouldn't be afraid at all. Nervous is normal, but getting the extra vertical peripheral vision is great. Check out my post about my eyes. I had a lot of bruising because of my skin type, but had no pain. If I have to do it again, I would.

Congratulations on your great results! Isn't it wonderful? Mine are deep-set and small, too. I just had my surgery in September and I haven't regretted it at all. I do have some bumpy scars, but I don't let them worry me, I know my doctor can fix them if needed.

It’s unbelievable. I can’t say my regiment is what brought my exceptional results and that of course my amazing dr. Dr Hoffman, Campbell and Palo Alto. Anyway I did not read through the pot op. Shame on me.
But here is what I did:
1 day before surgery, I dropped 4 tabs of arnica in the morning. Then again after dinner, 4 tabs arnica.
Morning of surgery- NOTHING but a hot shower!
Got home and took 4 tabs of arnica, slept. Placed pea bags with one layer of bandana to create a barrier between eyes and frozen peas. I wrapped it around my head and fell asleep with them on for 20 min. Take off repeat every few hours. And did peas for 2 days consistently and 3rd day at night. Then stopped because I didn’t swell.
I used a wedge pillow for my boobs too but stop sleeping on the side of your face. Causes wrinkles and not good for recovery. Elevate your head minimize excessive blood flow.
Day 1 post op and forward: Arnica 3 tabs am and 3 tabs pm repeated this for 4 days post op.
Also every morning and night I used a hot overly dampened wash cloth and rested it on my eyes, gently adding mild pressure to clean out sleep -clear away life, then wash my face not to stretch my skin around my eyes either. I typically never use face wash! And I didn’t start and will not. But hot water daily.
Also on my eyes I gently dabbed aquafor on the eye lid minimal after washing.
On day 4 post op saw dr to remove stitches. Shocked I had no bruising or swelling. I used aquafor for 1 more day then started using Biocornium that the office provided.
Today is day 7. I have no makeup on my upper eye lids or eye lashes. I just have sunblock on my face and powder, the bio cream on my upper eye lid and a little eye liner under my lower eye corner.
I’m super pleased.
