She did a fantastic job. Truly.
I did end up with a little node on the outside of each eye- where the scar ended. I had mentioned the lumps a few weeks after surgery and they (rightly) asked me to wait longer to see if it self resolved. They didn’t go away.
The left lump was *mostly* addressed by my dermatologist (a few weeks ago) with an injection of Kenalog. The right node (larger of the two) did not respond to the injection.
I’ll need to follow up with Dr R about how to fix it. I feel confident she will want to know they are still there- and that she will want to address it. I am otherwise thrilled with the surgery and would see her again.
I’m fairly self conscious about the lumps- I would be happy to resolve the large lump to the same size as the left lump is now. I tend to wear my glasses more often because of the lumps. I notice people notice them when I’m not wearing the glasses.

Seriously thrilled with Dr R and her team. It’s been two weeks and I can see the final shape and outcome starting to show. I put on a little mascara today, which felt great.
I’m still puffy and one section of dissolvable suture decided to poke out this morning so there is a little irradiation in that area. Also some small lumps where the knots from the sutures are outside my eye (told they will slowly dissolve.)
I would pick the same surgeon and her team for sure. In fact, I just might.

When did the lumps (where the knots from the surures were outside the eye) go away? Did they completely disappear, did you need any revision or additional work in those areas?

It’s now June and one little lump (the smaller of the two) has resolved with an injection of Kenelog-10 from my dermatologist.
The other, larger one has made no noticeable improvement. I’ll need to see Dr R to see how she wants to address it. I’m very self conscious of it. I do trust that she will happily figure out how to get rid of the lump. It’s been long enough that I’ll reach out to her soon.
