What are some helpful creams for scars?
I am noticing a slight bit of scarring on my left inner corner of my eye, and I'm sure I'm a little bit overreacting and I don't think anyone can really see unless they inspect my eye, but I am prone to hypertrophic scarring. What are some reccomendations for scar therapy?
Final Stage!
My stitches are all gone (they started coming out 5 days after surgery), I had my 1 week post surgery follow up on Monday (Dr. Buonassissi was impressed with the crazy healing) the swelling is completely gone and the final results are starting to show!
I got so excited, my boyfriend took me to Sephora for a makeup haul, because I can actually wear makeup now :D so that is pretty great! Not having hooded eyelids anymore.
I do have to say, that during the healing process, just as I expected I was going to stay looking like I did that day, I looked pretty different the next day (Is it apparent in photos??) and it was little weird, but I do look a lot more like myself now but just not with obscured eyes. My boyfriend kept starting at my eyes in awe today, and he said he didn't notice before how bright they actually were. He was head over heels with the results.
Also, nobody thinks I'm angry anymore. And I got asked for my number on the train by some dude. So I think this surgery really helped tone down my [RS bleep] rest face a lot. 10/10 would reccomend!

Day 5
So I may have went out a little bit. I got so sick of being home by myself for 10 hours a day with limited things to do. I don't even like being home on any other day knowing there's so much in the outside world to do! But I couldn't really watch too much TV, or read, or play video games without straining my eyes, so my friend took me out for the day so I didn't go nuts :)
I feel like I'm really fortunate that I got like the most absolute miniscule bruising. There's a little bit of blood pool at the base of my lashes but you don't even notice it and that is the extent of my bruising. I didn't have to use concealer at all, I just used a tiny little bit of illuminating powder with a precision eyeshadow brush under my eyes where it was very faintly purple and I was good to go!
Swelling has gone down drastically. My eyes don't feels as tight anymore, so the migraines have subsided. There's just a spot on the very end of my incision line that's causing me a little bit of trouble because the stitches came a little loose from the skin being pulled too tight so whenever I would laugh, it would tug at it, but nevertheless, it's healing and not infected and that's all I'm grateful for. It could be a lot worse!

Dr. Buonassissi is very knowledgeable and very skilled! He's good at what he does. He'll try and give you the closest to what you want while being realistic. Although he could be a little more gentle, he does some of the best Blepharoplasties in the city.
