A little more puffiness today. Pain is much better. Only used 1 Percocet in am & 2 Tylenol (500mg) at bedtime.

Who was your surgeon or did you have 2 separate doctors? Your review shows a Dr Mata from Chandler? With Tricare approval you could have had this with any Dr that accepts assignment not just on the base.

Glad to hear it went well!! I've been following your journey and wish you the best. Maybe you addressed this and I missed it, but why didn't your original doctor do the revision surgery?? Has anyone explained what is causing pain at temples?? It's usually hard to find a surgeon who will attempt to fix issues from another doctors work. I hope you have great results this time!! Be well and beautiful :-) And thanks so much for keeping us posted!!

My other Dr was a contract Dr on Eglin AFB. They did not renew his contract. Dr O'Laughlin took his place. He was wonderful about all of it & wanting to make me "comfortable in my own skin". My words not his. Lol I will post new pics today

That makes sense. I'm glad he was willing to re-do the surgery and make sure you are satisfied :-). Look forward to updates as you heal.

I am scheduled for the corrective surgery on June 18, 2015. I hope Dr. McLaughlin is able to remove more of the excess skin & fatty tissue in my lids. I will have the procedure done under twilight anesthesia so he can talk to me & have me open & close my eyes to make sure they are being done right this time.

He will probably not do anything for the brows at this time. Just wants to see what is going on at the temples right now.

Good luck tomorrow! I know a lot of people who needed a second surgery to get their eyes right, so you do have a lot of company.

I spelled my new PS's name wrong. It's O'Laughlin.

Dr O'Laughlin decided to put me out completely. He came in to pre op room & marked with a pen all of the cut lines on my eyelids. So glad I was put all of the way under.
