I have very mixed feelings. The first three days were awful. I couldn't do anything but lie on the couch, doze and try to follow the recommendations. It's day 14 and I couldn't go to work today. Had to work from home. I am still bruised and puffy (don't care about that). The bruises are uneven. Much worse on the right. The entire recovery was very exhausting. I really don't know how people are up and about. I really couldn't cook. Naturally, I am worried about scarring from the small incisions. I also spent a week and half with horrible gritty eyes, worried the doctor had changed the way my lids close. I think these issues are resolving, but it was scary.I would not recommend this surgery (in addition to the fat transfer and laser) unless you have a full two weeks. I will have to tell my coworkers about the operation, and i really hoped to avoid that.

Don't tell, unless they ask and you *want* to tell them. It's really Bob's of their business. Otherwise, you had a "dental" procedure with an aggressive dentist!
Speedy recovery to you! :)

It's day 17. Still bruised and tender. My doctor says I look great. They have used lasers twice to help with the bruising.

Pick up stone concealer and non prescription eye glasses, instant improvement! Hope that helps!

Why do you have a stitch up to your eyebrow?

LOL. That was completely unexpected and quite shocking. They are sutures to keep my eyes from closing due to swelling. Not all of my doc's patients get these. The left one was too tight and I had a horrible first night (it goes w/o saying more issues w/ left eye). I saw the doctor the next day and he removed them. Near instant relief. Even though the right eye bruised more, I've had much more issues with the left eye.
