My under-eyelid area is still swollen and I am able to feel a thick line under my left eye (possible the incision site). I can't tell if my bags are gone yet or if there is even much of a difference. Not sure how to feel, wishing that I had maybe gone to a different doctor. Dr. Waldorf is not the most attentive woman after surgery or during post-opt appointments, she didn't even see me immediately after the surgery was preformed. I thought that the results would be apparent, hopefully after the swelling goes down they will be, hope the internal lump/scar softens and becomes undetectable.

I am having doubts about this surgery and do not know if it will have been worth it. My lower eyelids seem swollen and larger than normal, which casts a shadow on my upper cheek making it look as though I am bruised on my putter check bone. I am keeping an open mind and am hoping that after I completely heal this isn't something that I am going to regret later on. Yesterday I noticed that there is a tight and tinder long sinuous line under my left eye. I am hoping that this is where the incision was made and not a loose piece of fat that has migrated up to my lower lid. Right now I am feeling disheartened and unsure. Feeling concerned about my left eye.

Give yourself time, time, time! Your body will heal at its own pace, which, might be a little slow while tissues settle down and take "turns" with progress. Contact your surgeon if you are feeling anxious, to see if you appear on track . Hoping for your healthy and happy full recovery, ASAP.

I am feeling concerned about what feels like the incision line under my left eye. Can you feel where your incisions were made?

Now I cannot, but a few days ago I had more of that "foreign sensation" going on down there, which made me question if that's what I was feeling. I've had dry eye during healing, and I found that putting the ointment IN my eye at night did help relieve that sensation. As of today, I can't feel any noticeable Ridge or anything like that...but my tissues are tight, dry, and swollen underneath. Unless you are a keloider with thick scars, maybe you are just dry and that feeling is being exaggerated because it's tender and inflamed. Do you have some ophthalmic ointment? If not, ask for some.

Thanks for the reply, no I don't have any of that ointment. I am thinking of putting coconut oil in my eyes, I know it sounds crazy. But coconut oil is actually anti-microbial and I feel like it will help heal my eye and lubricate it. I am kind of pissed at my doctor, she didn't even touch my eyes during the post-opt visit and I drove to hours to go to it. Thanks for the support, I might have to get some of that ointment

It's almost noon on Thursday, it has been over 48 hours since my surgery and I am still miraculously not very bruised at all. My under eye area is swollen and puffy but other than that I am pretty relieved with the healing process. My right eye has been a little leaky and my eyes are starting to feel itchy (good sign!).
