Not a lot to show you at this point. So I'll check back in at 30 days and show some updated photos.
Before doing this surgery, I'd research, read up on the doctor, discuss it thoroughly and know the health risks. This surgery isn't going to make your eye bigger, but it will open up the area around it.

About a week since surgery
About Day 9, I finally started seeing some significant reduction in the eyelid swelling and bruising is fading or has faded off. Eyes are feeling "almost" normal (though of course I've still got a ways to go.
Photo update of my face before I see the doctor tomorrow for stitches to be removed.

Looking good!
Yes they look even better now. I think people really need to be patient about the inflammation and bruising. It will all go away ;)

This was probably when swelling and bruising was the worst. Definitely keep icing as much as you possibly can as it does help with the swelling and the tenderness.
Rx Eye ointment twice a day. I decided I didn't need the prescription or OTC pain medication so passed on it. Still using the Arnica ointment.
I used Hydrogen Peroxide on a Q-tip to gently clean off the hardened blood on my stitches. Made me much more comfortable.
The first 3 days my eyes tired more easily which I kinda expected.
