Do you plan on disclosing the doctor's name? I hope there is resolution for your problem and I wish your PS would include your photos to show in consults with prospective patients. It would help inform them. I'm sure you would be eager to provide a release with your problem areas cropped for him to use in each and every one of his future consults. Wonder if he will do that???? tks for your review....grace

I would never disclose his. still to early. I'm still hopeing for a good result and I am hoping when I c him this week he will b able to have more ideas of what's wrong an has a plan this time. Thanks for yr input. I've never done this before.

Yes! Hopefully we are just slow healers & this will get better for you soon.

Ask doctor if a low dilute steroid injection along raised areas would help with inflammation or even high dose pulse oral steroids with a taper. Looks very inflamed. Did doctor use internal stitches? You may be having a reaction to dissolvable stitches which some patients do not dissolve or takes a prolonged period of time and are very reactive with symptoms similar to allergic response.

If area still inflamed and dissolvable stitches used, doctor may have to reopen area and remove the friable tissue and any stitch fragments remaining. Nylon can be used to stitch if needed (later removed) or glue. I would also recommend doing steroid as well.

You can use efflumidex , but dont put the drops your eyes, just to the scar...use organic cocooil, cold press jojoba or other perfect oil, and regularly make massage (your finger put horizontally to the operation region) up to the globe your skin...5 times a day...2 weeks will be better and better...

My eyes are red & thin 5 weeks later & I've tried expensive human & plant growth factors serum & followed orders after procedure with aquaphor 1st week then then hydrocortisone . He says it looks good because the fine lines are gone. I'm not happy that no amount of makeup or concealer will cover the red nor will anything help the indentions where it stops above my cheeks. Kinda looks like bags now instead if the very fine lines I had. Keep me posted how your doing & if anything is helping. I will keep you in my prayers.
