I am just having the lowers down as I already did the uppers in 1999. I was starting to see creases below my eyes for the past 2 years so that's why I decided i needed the surgery. I will update after my surgery, tomorrow. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Oh, boy it's a little late to be reading this. So far, I'm worried about the one eyelid. I tired getting a close-up of what I', talking about but couldn't quite capture it.

From reading this I guess you already did surgery! You are now going to have a lifetime of trying to fix. Best. Let me know as you go along your journey!

I will have a comment on that once the swelling has gone down. I gave it a month to decide whether the procedure was a good decision or not. I hope NOT!!!

Well, it's finished. Concern for one eye that look like the skin was pulled up over the lash line. This need to corrected. Dr. tells me not to worry about it BUT I worry because they're my eyes, no his. We'll see. Going to have stitches removed on Friday. I also had lipo performed below my right knee on the inside for a bulge that just didn't belong there. So far, so good.

I'm sure it'll be fine. It's so hard to see exactly what's going on at this point with all the swelling. Keep us posted on what he says after you get the stitches out. They cut a few of my lashes. I suppose they just get in the way sometimes. Did you just have skin tightened or fat removal too?

No fat removal. Just skin lifted. I will post some pics later with a little concealer. I still have to take one oxy a day in the morning as that's when I feel the lousiest.

I finally washed my face. It was difficult to shut my eyes tight so soap seeped into my eyes and it hurt. Sorry that I tried to do that. I will have to be more careful. I go see the doctor on Friday to have my black stitches removed

Let us know how things go for you after you get your stitches removed this Friday. Amazing how you went from black to red in 24 hours! Are you taking Arnica or Bromelain?
