Great results so far
WORTH IT$2,851
I have been using the hydroquinone for 8 days. I am very happy with the results so far. Now I can really see the results of the surgery without focusing on the hyper pigmentation.

Hydroquinone script
Trying to get darkness under eyes lightened. Was told by PS that it may be due to hemosiderin staining. Hoping for detectable results next month :)

Hey - you look great!!! Can you tell us what the doc does? Is stuff removed? Or added? Is the skin stretched or tacked - I mean it ooks more taut and firm...how did they do that? :)

I only had the fat pads removed. I also didn't have any skin removed or pulled to make it smoother. ( but now I kind of wish I would of only because its a little more "wrinkly" underneath my eyes now that the bulge is gone, but hey, I can deal with that). The dr removed the fat from inside my eyelid, meaning that there is no cutting of the skin. I actually did have a few stitches on my left eye and when I questioned the Dr about this he said it was a mistake. I am assuming when he was making the incisions inside the lid the cut must of been too deep and made a complete incision the whole way through. I can only tell the stitches were there if I really look. I am hoping that the skin will kind of "firm up a little" so it's not so wrinkly... If not, I may have to explore other options to speed this along :). So besides the hyper pigmentation I have been treating for the last 16 days, it went pretty smoothly. The cream i am putting on the dark areas 2x is really helping. Im really happy because i hated wearing concealer, and now i really don't need to wear any. I went back to work in 6 days, but maybe should of taken off 8-10. But I survived. If you have any other questions just ask!

24 days.....
Well, still dealing with this hyper pigmentation. I'm kinda getting tired of wearing concealer, plus I have yet to find a color that I feel good about... I've been to a couple of counters and they fiddle with my face for about an hour, and I just end up saying " the colors still off" or "it looks unnatural". Maybe if I wore makeup before it wouldnt be a problem. Idk. I'm going on vacation this week and I really don't want to be worrying about this. Guess ill deal with that once I get back at my follow up appointment. Peel I'm thinking, I'm saying NO to lasers because I don't like the sound of my face peeling off. That doesn't sound too pleasant!
