I really like the shape of my eyes so far. The incision lines are still red and bumpy but not noticeable to people when my eyes are open. I had the dissolvable stitches because I don’t live near the Doctor and I wonder if that made them a little more red than if I would have had regular stitches removed. I emailed Dr T and he wasn’t worried so I’m sure that will improve with time.

Bruising below the eyes is still prominent. My eyes close better end it doesn’t feel weird to look up. I am excited for the bruising to go away and to be able to wear my contacts again. I have a follow up appt with Dr T tomorrow so I’ll see what he thinks.

Good luck to you healing fast. I'm curious if you have any broken capillaries on your lids since the surgery? I had an upper blepharoplasty 6 months ago and was left w broken capillaries all over both lids and now I have to wear eyeshadow to cover my unsightly red eyelids. My surgeon says he's never had this issue(doubtful) and bc my skin is fair, this could have happened.

Thank you. I haven’t experienced any broken capillaries on my eyelids. My incision lines are still red and bumpy at 3.5 weeks but I believe that will continue to heal. I’m sorry that happened to you and I hope you will be able to find a solution that works for you.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Your results look fantastic so far. I would love to see more updates as your healing continues. I have a consult with Dr. T in April and I hope to get the procedure done in June. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I am 3.5 weeks out and am very happy with the results so far. Dr T’s book says expect full healing after 3 months. In my experience, I was able to go out after 2 weeks but still had under eye bruising until about 3 weeks. My eye lines are still Red and kind of bumpy which will go down But I am happy with the shape and openness. I would recommend the surgery at least a month before a big event. I know everyone heals differently but that has been my experience. Best wishes to you! I would recommend Dr T.

The bruising was worse today which they warned me would likely happen. My son had a ski race and I went to watch it despite the black eyes. Still no pain except a few twingy spots sometimes and dry eyes after being outside. I walked 3 miles and did a light arm work out (1lb weights)
