Very happy with how my eyes look. I can feel some lumps under my right eye when I run my finger across the lid. But they don’t seem noticeable to the naked eye. The stubborn bruise under my left eye is almost gone. My postop appointment is coming up soon

I feel fine. I still have some stubborn bruising that won’t go away. When I run my finger along my upper right lid I do feel some lumps but from what I read from other reviews that is normal. I don’t believe the lumps are visible to the eye.

Looks fantastic! I've been thinking about getting this surgery for years now. Just doing research on the right doctor. Wishing you continued healing!

It was my 2nd day back at work and my first real hardcore day back at the gym. I feel great. Still some swelling and lots of bruising- but I do bruise very easily. I scratched a bite on my arm and it’s bruised!
I’m still sleeping elevated and doing the saline soaked gauze at night - though I don’t really know if there are any benefits at this point!

You would not have bruised as much and healed faster, had you not done anything physical. I know, because I had the same surgery, right after moving, and decided I needed to unload boxes etc. So much bruising because of it, but had to have the surgery again, due to one eye now working as hard, so this time I did nothing physical, and the bruising and healing were so much faster.

I admit I am a horrible patient! I took all the Arnica and vitamin K before hand. I didn’t bruise at all with my neck ( and I was in the gym three days later ) so I was surprised at the amount of bruising with my eyes.
