I noticed my lids were getting smaller and eyebrows were dropping. I am, so far 6th day, satisfied. The day of surgery, I liked the shape of my eyes and was only swollen on the actual lid. Day after had a headache for 24 hours and began to swell. 2nd day my eyes were completely swollen an my whole face blew up. I did not even recognize my face, it looked like the movie "mask". There was no contours to my face and cheeks and even lower face were swollen. I thought I might be having some sort of issue and started researching. I couldn't find many reviews with excessive swelling, so I started icing and every day after the swelling decreased. Thank goodness, I was really starting to regret the surgery. I will be having the stitches removed 1 week after surgery. My forehead is very tight and shiny, lids are also tight when I blink. Overall, very happy, just hope I have more movement in my forehead, my doc said takes about 3 weeks. Also, very important, the office arranged to pick me up in San Diego and transport back over an had a ride waiting for me in SD.

I am thinking about getting the same procedure. How are you doing?

The swelling has gone down completely, I am very pleased with the results. I've always had very heavy horizontal lines in my forehead and this year I noticed horizontal lines across the bridge of my nose, they are now gone. I'm still waiting for more movement in my forehead and I do notice flakey, dry skin on forehead. Eyelids look great, there is still a red line, but can hide with makeup. Saw friends and they said they can't even tell I had anything done (men), so I take as a compliment, as it looks natural, although I can tell the difference :)
