Upper eyelid surgery

Upper eyelid surgery

Had my upper blepharoplasty today! Process was quick and easy!
Swelling and pain was minimal right after, had to take Tylenol once anesthesia wore off since felt slight stinging. Hope I see great results once healed.

You look great! I have a upper bleph on Monday 11/9 nervous now. Did you take arnica or anything else?

Thanks! I'm taking Arnica Tea twice a day. Dr prescribed antibiotic ointment to apply twice a day and instructed me to apply cold compresses for the 1s two days 20 min every hour. Then, warm compresses twice a day for 7 days :)

Was wondering how you were doing! Make sure you keep your head elevated when you sleep, I felt swelling was getting better solely flat on my back yesterday and noticed more swelling this morning

Hope you're doing good! Day 3-4 is when I experienced the most swelling and bruising starting to really show. Then started getting better each day. Hang in there! :)

Swelling has set in, woke up swollen and gradually increased throughout the day, with some bruising by the evening. Still no pain.

Day 3

My eyes are similar in shape now, but bruising under both eyes and swelling still hasn’t gone down. No pain, just discomfort if. Move my eyes around too much.
