Not very happy one year-post op. My eyes are still droopy.

Pics taken 03-20-2016 but I am only posting them now. I'm not very happy one year post-op; and 2-year post-op. I went back to Dr. Hing at about 9 months post-op and he said he can fix and remove more fat below the brow. But I can't imagine going through it again. Plus I am too busy and can't spare the time to recover from the procedure. One incision is higher than the other, so now one eye looks very obviously bigger than the other. Should I get them re-done?

Overall I am quite pleased at how my eyes are starting to look. I can still feel a lot of swelling in my upper eye lids. so even though my eyes still look a little droopy from the side, i know that once the swelling has completely subsided, my eyelids will look the way i want them to look. I have gone for 3 eye massages (which were included in the cost of the procedure). I have also gone for a total of 3 follow-up visits with Dr. Hing. He continues to monitor my progress on a weekly basis.

Being an asian with my skin tone, I expected the incision scar to take longer to fade. I do see it fading a little every day.

Hi Marley92, Your eyes are looking great! Thanks so much for posting such a thorough review of the procedure, with all the photos. I was wondering how your eyes feel now, about a month after surgery. Do they feel stiff or tender?

Thanks for the update!  You look like you are healing nicely.  Please continue to keep us posted on the swelling and everything else!

Just wanted to show these pics taken exactly one week after my procedure. i started wearing my contact lenses today. dr. hing said i could as long as i was not pulling on the upper eyelid. i am not wearing any eye makeup on my upper lids, but am using eye liner for lower. also i am very careful when washing my face, patting it dry very very gently around the eyes and also making sure my eye lids are really dry. went to the grocery store today but had my sunglasses on the whole time i was inside.

How are you doing? Are your eyes looking better? I think it might be too early to really tell yet:)
