I develop an eye stye last 2 weeks which distort my swell, so I did not update my progress. Like many others, I still notice the asymmetry, can be noticed by people ard me. It is not obvious but I still hope it can improve better. Makeup makes it less noticeable but it is definitely better than my post op sleepy eyes. I am less inclined to have a revision as I do not wish to go thru the slow healing process again. Cross my fingers that It will still continue to improve ... :)

At 3 months post op, you look great! - with make up, even better! I'm surprised that your scars are still so obvious! Hopefully with time they get better - I'm sure they will!

Thanks! I hope my scars can lighten faster too, so it wouldn't be obvious. I'm already applying a scar gel dermatix ultra twice daily but no results yet. I think due to the scars deep and not yet really flatten, that y it still looks obvious...n I can still feel my lids fatty and still swell.. Gosh, what a long process!

I just had my done 2 days ago. I do have asymmetry (very obvious - lids size and open of the eyes). Hope it is not ptosis problem. Please keeping update your pic. What a long recovery process :( However, you look great now ( not so much asymmetry).

Thanks Phuong Mai. Yup, I still notice asymmetry but I'm not worrying as it has somehow even out to a degree that it is acceptable to me. In fact, even natural double eyelids are of different sizes. I'm more concerned on the scars now but I felt eventually it will still be improving over time. Still, I felt more happier that I made this choice. Keep going, I'm sure ur asymmetry is due to swelling that can distort ur results. It's happening to everyone.

Ur double eyelids looked parallel and natural as u like now although recovery time was a bit long. I think doctor's done very good job. Can i ask u the price of his cutting eyelid surgery? Wish ur scars fader soon.

Doesn't seem to have much changes these 2 weeks and looks like back to week 7 swell ,not sure if it is due to my flu n cough now. My right eye still looks smaller and weaker. My friend can notice the asymmetrical eyes cos 1 eye look awake, the other look sleepy. I'm crossing my fingers. The scar gel keep my scar moistened but not seeing any improvements yet. Anyway, I'm noticing a purple spider vein on my right eyelid at the lateral area, it feels sore. Not sure isit due to straining my right eye bigger to match the left. In 1 picture below, only when I purposely open my eyes using extra strength, my right eye then looks normal while my left will looks too stunned. When I'm relaxing, the left will be gd n normal, while the right is sleepy look. I hope I'm not worrying too much. I need faith n patience..Thanks for reading. Merry Xmas!

Hi I had a flu and cough at wk 6 and I could feel.that it detered my healing a little. Everytime I coughed it would put so much pressure on my eyes that it caused some soreness. And also not getting adequate sleep while i was sick could have slowed recovery. Maybe both. Are u getting much sleep? Try to keep your head elevated while sleeping and limit salt intake. That reminds me that I have to get some pineapples tmrw. Anyways email your surgeon and ask why the swelling is fluctuating like this. I went to ask another plastic surgeon re my recovery as my own surgeon is incompetent..so I guess its always good to get a second opinion also.

Yes, Elle, I've been coughing badly and sleeping late, might be causing my swelling again. I need to highlight an incident where I went Zumba dance last week and immediately that night, I got lots of spider veins on my eyelids, I got a shock. Luckily it disappeared the next day except for 1 on my right eye. Not sure if this also cause the swelling to bounce back. I jus email my doctor yesterday, he had not get back to me yet. Gosh, sometimes it's really discouraging when the eyes swelling suddenly backtrack. Maybe I will seek 2nd opinion if I'm still not assured. How's ur eyes? I hope u r feeling better now.

Yeah my eyes have dropped lower since I will be at 8 weeks at the end of the week but still swollen. My sister said it prob wont look natural till 4 wks based on her experience. She also told me not to sleep late which is hard to do lately lol. I have been limiting my activites and I find this helps. Zumba when your eyes are recovering is a no no. Maybetry warm ccompresses from now and massages too..thats what my other surgeon said and it worked. My initial surgeon is dr. Nond in thailand and he is hopeless. He gave me no advise what so ever.

Glad to know that ur eyes crease are lower now. :) my dr oso jus replied me to continue massaging my creases n reassure me that my eyes will still continue to recover n deswell more over the next few weeks. I give myself up to 6mths to see the final results as I'm jus such a slow healer plus late sleeper and I opt for a medium crease which many says that it will take a longer time to be natural. I'm sorry to hear that ur doc was not too gd in after op service, but not to worry, it's gd u went for 2nd opinion. Oh yup, I would definitely not going for high impact exercise like Zumba before I fully recover. Haha, or else my lids going to pump up again. Anyway, I can see that my lids are still sausagey n swollen. I'm so sorry to anyone who can see that I'm such an impatient person :p
