1 month post-op

WORTH IT
I'm one month post-op and I LOVE my results. I have very little scaring and regularly go without makeup and no one would guess I had lid surgery a month ago.
I have been using bioCorneum that I got at my doctors office. It's supposed to help with scar healing and it is SPF 30.

Beautiful! Congratulations.
Lovely job. Upper and lowers done? I have a friend who wants to stay in the states to have hers done, would you mind private messaging me the cost of the procedure(s). Thank you.
You look great. You must be so excited for the holidays this year. Enjoy yourself and take lots of pictures of your pretty eyes & face. Did you just have an upper bleph; any work on the lowers or Botox?
I just did the uppers. Yes, I have Botox as well.
You look beautiful!!! Great results and your scar healed beautifully already!

Fabulous results, good for you!!!
You look fantastic and still like yourself, just younger!! I love your results. I am almost 50 and have mine scheduled for Dec. 15th. Any post-op suggestions for less bruising and swelling? 10 days post op will be Christmas day for me!! yikes!!
I wasn't great about icing or keeping my head elevated. If you are more diligent than I was you should be ok. I would also recommend Dermablend concealer. They sell it at Ulta and it covers bruising really well. Good luck! You won't regret it!
Thank you so much for your comment and confidence! I pray I do as well as you!
Wow beautiful result
You look beautiful!! Did you just have upper eyes only??
Yes, I bruise really easily. So I have more bruising than most.

Looking great!!!

I'm almost 40, I feel 25 but my upper eyelids tell a different story. I take pretty good care of myself. I always wear sunscreen, I have regular facials, and I always use the latest and greatest in moisturizers. There was no product that was going to help my upper eyelids. I chose Dr. Niki Christopoulos. I felt as a female she listened and understood I want to look like myself 10 years ago not someone else. I did it under local anesthesia in her office and it couldn't have been easier. It took 45 minutes and I had very little post op pain (I took 1 pain pill) The hardest part was shopping on Black Friday wearing sunglasses in the stores ( I was 6 days post op). I would do it over in a heartbeat! I can't wait to be healed and wear eyeliner again!!! It's amazing what a big difference a small procedure can make.

I can see the difference already, you look great! Please continue to post pictures of your progress.
You look gorgeous. Congratulations and thank you for sharing!
Fabulous results!
One more question, which Dermablend product/item did you use?
I used the medium coverage. It's in a tube with a wand applicator. I actually like it so much I have continued to use it even now that the bruising is gone.
Thank you so much! :)
You look fantastic! Not that you were bad to look at before, but post-op you simply look more radiant. Amazing, what 'a little' eyework can do, ey? :-)
