Two weeks and two days post op
WORTH IT$9,050
My healing slowed down a bit. I’m having some issues with my eyes burning and swelling. I understand it’s only two weeks post op, I’m not complaining, just updating. I’ve had a few minor complications such as rash along the incisions so I couldn’t apply anything to if I’m healing which made for some itchy incisions. One bit of advice I’d give to anyone considering these procedures, is ask a lot of questions. I wished I’d asked more questions because there isn’t a lot of post op care advice, I didn’t receive a list of dos and donts so I felt like I was calling and asking a lot of questions and maybe being kind of annoying. So please remember to ask a lot of questions.

Update about what was done
I had a couple messages so I should clarify, I had an upper bleph with just a small amount of skin removal. Outer brow/temple lift and the incision was made above my eyebrow on the outer part of my eyebrows. I had a canthopexy for some support. I was going to have a pinch lower bleph but in surgery Dr.Lay found it unnecessary and decided to not move forward with part of the surgery (yes, I’ll be refunded :-*)
I’m still very swollen around my eyes, and I developed a rash which you’ll see in the pics I posted. Dr. Lay has taken and/or returned my many panicked calls, and has been completely cool about it. He wrote me a prescription for an antifungal, some steroids (medrol) and I’m taking Benadryl. I’m now taking Advil for swelling/pain, which really aside from an odd tightness I don’t feel uncomfortable at all. I’d say after day 2 I didn’t really have much pain at all. First night you feel it... I appreciate how understanding Dr. Lay is. He’s definitely has a good heart!

Thanks for your post & pictures. I understand how you feel, I went thru same thing at other clinic, subrow lift, double eyelid and lower lid, it was a lot swelling, chemosis too. However my wound get better now, I been doing research myself, don't eat seafood, cause itchy & slow down healing, don't touch the wound area too much thats what I learned myself, cause more wound/rash.
I didn't have any pain at all..all swelling went down in 2 weeks..
That's awesome! I'm happy you had a speedy recovery as well! I didn't have much pain either after the first night, and that wasn't even really pain. More of just a tight feeling I think from the canthopexy. It was an easy recovery for sure!
Cold water compresses help a lot the first week
