11 weeks po Bleph & laser, another laser pass last week
This has been 3 months.... Out of patience with this! Went for photos, wore no make up so dr could get a good look at the still red demarcation lines. No photos, made another quick laser pass to do more blending. Stayed out of sun all summer. Wore hat, used all the Skinmedica products as scheduled... So what's the problem here?

What did your DR advise in regards to your skin?
I think it looks good based on the lighting in the picture.
Are you happy with your under eye surgery?

Keep using moisturizers... I go back in a few weeks for another attempt at final photos. If I am still red and lumpy I am going to throw a fit. I don't want to have to cover up with make up... No not happy

I looked your pictures and I think your laser resurfacing was too strong, too much. My 2 friends had that done and there was just a bit redness on their lower lids and they were fine were after 2 weeks. It was a bit pink but make up helped to conceal... What your surgeon said?

They make it sound like I'm healing fine.... But have re Lasered twice to soften demarcation lines. Went with this option instead of traditional Bleph... It was supposed to be quicker healing...

Ready to commit to having upper and lower blepharoplasty, mini lift and lip graft (not sure if this is injection, have questions). Opted not to have laser resurfacing since I will be heading to Florida for the winter and sun is a bit unavoidable. Having seen all your pics and posts I'm starting to get a pit in my stomach! It seems like your recovery time was much longer than expected. Who did your surgery, would you recommend? Where are you located? Thx for all your honest pics and progress. It's always easier to see before and after pics but the truth comes out in the recovery pics. Thx for sharing your amazing story, you look fantastic!

Yes much much longer than expected...I had the no cut Bleph on lowers only. Didn't have much extra skin so instead of cutting it out they smooth and tighten with the laser, after fat pads are repositioned. A tradional Bleph would have left scars, but I would have been healed by now. I live near Daytona Beach, surgery done by local cosmetic facial surgeon. Been avoiding the sun since June 13th, wearing hats, large glasses, sunscreen etc... It's gotten old, and I'm really frustrated. Thank you for your kind words. Good luck with your surgery.

I'm sorry you're having such a slow recovery. I too have avoided the sun/done everything I should. It's no comfort to you but I had 'traditional bleph' and I am having to use a lot of cover makeup 7 weeks out! We all have strange healing foibles and I believe my problem is iron deposits remaining after the blood goes away from sever bruising (caused by fat repositioning) - can take months to dissipate (read on this website) - sometimes can be permanent but I think/hope those are more extreme versions! I wake every morning looking like a heroin addict cartoon! I only mention this as you'd said you had avoided traditional bleph cos you've been told healing time was longer~I s'pose we can all buck the trend.... unfortunately. Good luck with your fading [RS bleep]

Did you have your upper eyes done before? And if so by whom...they look great

A bit, ( re.caption) but there's definitely improvement from previous posts & can you now describe it as a 'healthy glow'? Is it lovely & smooth? That all looked way out of my pain threshold & it has been a long recovery. Well done for your patience (not that you had a choice in the matter!) & thanks for the updated post. The next one I hope will be your 'perfect' one! X
Congratulations on your TT, I did that almost 10 years ago....be patient and don’t over do it! I remember swelling up like a balloon by the end of the day! But you’ll get past that and look beautiful!
