Just had to leave this here....! Healing is going well. Dr Joseph is keeping well on top of the inflammation and scarring, seeing me once a week for 2 weeks, and now the next appt is in 2 weeks.

Well hello there Real Selfies!
Dessy26April 23, 2019
It’s been a while, hey?! So 6 months on from my initial surgery Dr Perfectionist here decided he wasn’t 100% happy with my outcome. There was a tiny bit of bump left under my right eye that was being more stubborn than my 9 year old and refusing to quit and leave the vicinity graciously. Plus i think Dr Joseph also heard about the last time i was put under the influence of the laughing gas and wanted to see for himself if the rumours about that 1995 ambulance ride through central London at 3am were actually true. So there i was again this morning sucking down the Nitrous Oxide while he prepared to tart me up further. I’m now thinking he wishes he had just knocked me out again.
But SERIOUSLY! Come on??! How COOL are you when you take selfies IN YOUR OWN SURGERY??! It just had to be done really!
So here i am damaged but bandaged yet again in the hope that this final stubborn piece of fat - the only piece left on my entire body i think given that I’m 100lbs soaking wet - has finally met its match.
Will update on recovery over the next week as usual, but meanwhile huge thanks to Dr Jeffrey for his endless professionalism, perfectionism and above all patience because if I’m completely honest, i have a teeny tiny suspicion it is REALLY fkn ANNOYING when I’m high on Entonox at 9am on a Tuesday morning and you are trapped in a room with me stone cold sober and trying to do your job. Sorry!!!

Day 7! Stitches removed!
Dessy26November 15, 2018
I feel fantastic! Now the stitches are out, things are going to get a lot easier and more comfortable! My eyes still feel a bit gritty and itchy and sensitive. I think that’s only partly the surgery and partly the Santa Ana winds!
The stitches were WAY deeper than i was expecting, so felt a bit weird when they were pulled out. I’m so glad now i didn’t touch them myself - that would have freaked me out! Tiny red marks where they were, but they’ll fade.
The fat is a little hard right now, and still a bit swollen but it is going to soften over the next few weeks. I’ll post a final result after about a month, but for now, here is a current before and after taken in the same place in the exact same light.
I couldn’t be happier and would HIGHLY recommend this surgery and this surgeon if you have the same problem i did and live in the SoCal area.

Would you recommend this surgery? I am only 36 and have been dealing with the same issue for years. I have been contemplating doing something about it but I am nervous.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. You look great and what a wonderful thing to do for YOURSELF!

I m very very happy. And it was something that i just felt i could no longer live with as i got older. I’m all about trying to she disgracefully!
The best bit - since these pics were taken i do need to update because I’ve had some problems with my right eye. The swelling has gone down and the end result isn’t close to as good as i had hoped. Fortunately i have an incredible doctor and this is what i paid the money for - he’s not letting this go until it is completely perfect. I’ll be going back in at the end of January for some minor corrective surgery to get it absolutely perfect.

What changed? Your eyes look so great!!

After the swelling went down completely we found on my right eye there was still a slight “bag” to it. The surgeon has asked me to be patient(!) and wait a full 12 weeks so we can see exactly what we are left with. Then he is going to fix the problem. It’s not bad. But it is still there and we both agree it shouldn’t be. He’s been wonderful. Not letting this go until it’s right! The left eye is perfect.

What worry’s me, is after all this poor guy has been through during the healing process, that at the end he’s had to have an eye removed.
It’s a wonderful journey he’s been on, but the sting in the tail leaves a nasty taste in the mouth (like semen).
