47 Y/o Female Upper Lid Blepharoplasty & Lower Lid CO2 Laser Touch Up - Webster, TX

Overall, I guess I'm superficially healed. My bumps are still just as prominent on my suture line. Make up (eye shadow) seems to make it a bit more noticeable IMO. Last night I decided to do a full make up test (4th time) and I still can't feel my lids when I touch them with applicators, nor my eyelashes. However, I didn't make such a mess this time. I do have a "dog ear" scar on one side, but at this point, I'm not sure I really care. Just glad the worst of it is over, and it's a crapshoot on the bumps. I'm not having a procedure to soften them. In a year, I'll re-evaluate. Sorry again for the cross-eyed look. Phone selfies aren't my speciality LOL. Hope you all are doing well!

My goodness I haven't updated. Thank you Cassandra for checking on me!! Actually, I've been dealing with some health issues unrelated so I've been a bit preoccupied. In regards to my upper blepharoplasty, all that seems to be left are scar bumps. I've used several things to massage with and I'm pretty sure they aren't going to flatten anymore. I have only worn make up twice since surgery, because for some reason, my skin is no longer absorbing moisturizers, rather they sit on top of my skin. And in Texas, add a whole lot of humidity to that and I look like I've been running a race at any given time. So basically, it's not worth it yet to just have it slide off or smudge everywhere. I'm just now about 2 months out, so I'm really really hoping its true that the bumps go down. They feel so weird when I wash my face. Like little twisted knots. My uppers feel a little tight, but it's more like a tacky, sticky sensation. I catch myself raising my eyebrows a lot I guess in a effort to "unstick" them. They are still sensitive to rubbing (found that out the hard way) so maybe all will be better in a few more weeks. Hope everyone else is healing up nicely! I'm so sorry for not checking on you all! PS. I started a new review on needling and dermarolling the "11"'s. my coworkers have pretty much decided I've lost my mind. I'm not going to disagree!

Well this was a hilarious day. Only the second time I've put make up on since surgery. First time was just mineral powder and mascara. Today I went for the gold. Eye shadow and eye liner too! Problem. Still cannot feel my eyelashes, so I had this wonderful new mascara (waterproof) get all over my lid!! (And finger nails, etc..) I looked in the mirror and thought, "Who cares"?! I went to work. My coworkers just laughed with me. They are pretty used to my hijinks. Anyway, here's my assessment.
My under eyes are still pink and shiny from laser, even without moisturizer (like, right after shower). This is Texas, and the humidity doesn't help the shiney look either. So, my eyeliner moved down lol, my mascara was all over the place, but WHOLLA! I can clearly see my CONTOUR color eyeshadow!! I was used to it getting lost or having to put it way up on my brow to fake it. I have a naturally low brow so I never had much room to work with. So forgive my crossed eye (I swear I'm not) and the wreck of make up after a 10 hour day! Ready to get it off of me!! Didn't bother me much at all today. Eyes still feel tight and I'm using kelocote x 3 days now? Lots of bumpies in inner and outer corners.
