One week appointment
I had my one week appointment today, and Dr. Kotlus said it looks great. He said I am healing faster than a lot of people he's performed the surgery on. He said to stop using the Aquaphor and that I can use makeup now (HOORAY!!!). I will post a made up picture today or tomorrow.
I still am swollen, and he said that can last up to 6 months.

Been thinking of this surgery for years. Have had genetic under eye bags since I was a kid. This might be my year (just skittish but tired if looking tired when I'm
NOT tired!) you look great girl! :)

I am 2 weeks post but still swollen too. I have noticeable wrinkles under eye and hollow too. Do you face the same problem ?

Day 4 - Some peeling / swelling down
I'm still sick, but feeling better. I had some peeling under my eyes last night, so I gently sloughed it off and reapplied the Aquaphor to my baby new skin. I don't think I have anymore swelling now, just the pinkness.

Can you explain what the difference was between going general anesthesia vs local and your decision for local? I'd be concerned if it's local, that I might move or sneeze or whatever?

The difference is being awake or not! I decided against general simply because I didn't want to have a blood draw (the doctor required it) on an empty stomach. Yes, I'd rather undergo eyelid surgery awake than have a blood draw.
