Im on my first day in a lot of pain my surgeon was great I'm 42 years old I had a lot of wrinkles I looked like I was in my sixties versus my 40 so I really hope the outcome is good .
Im really hoping the pain doesn't last to long right now I'm just 6 hours post op so can't tell you much yet. But even with the pain I would do it again

I looked into a lot of different dr in this area he was the most caring of them all I was really low on cash so was going to do just around my eyes but he went and did the whole face for the price of my eyes

 I really hope the pain starts to ease up soon. Is it a burning or stinging sensation, or how would you describe it?

Thank you for posting pictures, it is so helpful. I had my consultation and am contemplating when to schedule and how long needed off work. Did you have the modified hetter peel or the baker gordon version? Hope you are feeling better, please keep us posted

I had the baker gordon version . He had me taking a lot of vitamins 3 weeks before the peel so my body would try to heel faster . Most of the burn skin came off with the tape I still have a lot of healing to do but I think I should be fine by the end of next week to go out with make up on . I will post a picture a day so you see the progress.

Thank you so much! You look better than I had imagined it would be as far as swelling. That is the part that scares me the most I think is maybe having eyes swell shut. The pictures and posts are great :)

Thanks for letting us know that you didn't have to take anything for the pain after the second day. Its always nice to know what people experience with that. Did it hurt when the skin came off with the tape, or was it just basically lifting off and no big deal?

It hurt really bad when the skin came off with the tape I don't think it was ready to come off yet put the tape only stays on for 2 days.

Oh ouch :( I was wondering if that was the case. Thanks for being honest about it - always better to know about these things.

I did swell up I do have a picture it was on the second day I will try and post it later . But I didn't follow the rules I took a motrin and stayed upright so the swelling went down very fast they say not to take motrin but the swelling scared me and the only way I know to bring it down was motrin and ice . i was scared about not being able to see as long as the dr doesn't go past the eye bone the eyes won't swell shut . I take 1 nap a day the rest of the time i do everything I normally do because lying around makes healing slower being active speeds it up.

I appreciate all the information, anything you want to share to help prepare for what it's like is priceless for me, I'm a bit of a chicken and it helps to know what I'm in for. Everything I've seen has all been positive to the results and I'm sure yours will be as well. Take care of yourself and post when you can! Thanks!!

I saw that you changed your rating to Worth It - I'm glad you feel that way so soon, and still in the midst of healing. I hope your skin is feeling ok today. :)
