Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Stitches removed
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

5 days after surgery
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.
