Rejuvenated

7 weeks have passed since my surgery and I'm so relieved to be feeling 'normal' again. I saw my surgeon yesterday to discuss my lower outer eyelids which are looking droopy post surgery. He has again assured me that this is most likely going to correct itself in the coming months however, I am not entirely convinced of this and have requested that they be corrected. My revision surgery has been tentatively scheduled for late May - if there is no visible improvement by then. Happy to report that the revision surgery is going to be done at no cost.

I'm happy that my face is finally starting to feel normal again; the bruising and swelling is now minimal and the feeling of tightness around my neck is easing - I can turn my head a little more to the left/right. As you can see from the images, my lower eye lids still have the appearance of being pulled away from the eye. Apparently, this can sometimes happen following lower lid surgery and the condition may correct itself. However, I've been assured that a supporting suture in the outer corner of the eye will correct this and I will definitely be asking that this be done as soon as possible.

It's worthwhile taking images to track how the face is healing. As mentioned in an earlier post, I had a mid face and neck lift, and upper/lower eye lids. Post surgery, my outer lower eyelids took on the appearance of being pulled away from the eye. I didn't expect this to occur and have been assured by my surgeon that it can be easily corrected if the condition does not improve once the swelling has fully subsided.
