Upper Eye Bleph - better than expected - Dr Gingrass is the best!

tomorrow morning I'll be in the very talented hands of Dr. Mary Gingrass for my upper eye surgery. She did my Mommy Make Over and I love the results!!!! I've had heavy upper eye lids since my 20s and now at 53 I am ready to look better and less tired! Wish me luck and pray for my Dr's steady hands. getting nervous!

its been 12 hours since my surgery and eye lids are very swollen - as expected. the surgery was not painful - but towards the very end - during the stitching, I felt some discomfort and sharp pinches. my dr noticed right away and added more numbing meds. she said my blood pressure reflected my discomfort and she urged me to relax. i took some deep breaths and then it was all over. right now my lids are a bit sore, and although I've been icing all day - there has been no change in the swelling. earler in the afternoon there was some blood oozing, but now it is minimal and light pink. I've been taking the oxy every 4 hours and sleeping upright most of the day. looking forward to improvement in the morning!

lots of swelling on uppers which I expected - but did expect to see so much swelling under my eyes. i have no pain at all but do have a slight headache. i've been up and around a lot so now I'm going to try and chill the rest of the day. i have been icing almost nonstop but it does not seem to make any difference. taking arnica orally" and just started using an arnica bruise cream for the bruises under my eyes. hope things start to look a little better soon.
