53 Yo Asian Woman with Droopy and Puffy Eyelids

I am a 53 yo asian woman with slightly droopy eyelids which i knew will get worse as i get older. my eyelids are also very puffy below the brows. i decided to get this procedure done now rather than later as i was concerned that if i did it later, i would not have the guts to go through it, and also i thought it better to do it now while i am younger than older. my hesitation in doing this procedure were caused by a couple of factors: that i am an older asian and i scar easily. i was afraid that i could be left with lots of hyperpigmentation which i currently have on the rest of my face from acne during my younger days. so we will see how the healing process goes for me. i plan to keep posting pics for a year to show the progress and whether hyperpigmentation and scarring will be an issue for me. my procedure was done on 3/25/2016 at 12 noon. i arrived at 11 am and changed into a hospital gown. was told to weigh myself. wash my face with dial soap. give a urine sample. removed my contact lenses. i was given a valium and an anti-nausea pill. they also took my bp and pulse. then wheeled me into the op room. started an iv and before i could say hello, i was out. seems like only a minute later, they were waking me up. i had a good nap. i was not in any pain at all. i got dressed, remembered that i was wheeled down to my husband. and then i was home!! i barely remembered much really. but over the next few days, i did not have any pain at all. i had the prescription meds hydrocodone-acetaminophen on hand just in case but i did not have to take any at all. i continue to ice my eyes for the first 48 hours. and i took extra strength acetaminophen to help reduce inflammation more than anything else. i did not take it for the pain as there was no pain at all. i took my first shower and shampoo 48 hours later and make sure not to blast water into my face. i use q-tips to clean gently around my eyes. the first couple of days look a lot better than the 3rd day. by the 3rd day, the area around my left eye was definitely more swollen, bruised and tender. no big deal. i can't wait to see how i will look in a month. i have my appointment on apirl 1st, 2015 to have the sutures removed. i was told that i will not be able to wear my contact lenses for about 2 weeks. i was also told that my eyes would be very dry, but i have not had that at all.
