guyguy26 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I just got asian eyelid surgery. I'm a guy and I was really hesitant on getting it done but wanted to since I had one double eyelid and one single eyelid. Not sure if people noticed? It's been 5 days since surgery. still have the stitches in and you can see where the old double was... i wonder if this new crease is WAY too high. it feels like it. Also, i wonder if the old crease will go away... thoughts???? (pics will be in next post)
vhdos Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Ouch. No answers, but wanted to wish you a speedy recovery
kmh1190 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I think you are still swollen and maybe that's why it seems kinda high. Did you have someone who was familiar with Asian eyes do the surgery? The only reason why I ask is that people I've know who have had the surgery have had better results with docs who understood that the idea was to have a "natural" result as opposed to getting the biggest lid possible.
louch Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I think it would be very normal to look like this after surgery. There is a massive degree of swelling post op and also the eyelid area is very delicate. I think you will be fine after the swelling subsides. It's definitely too early to tell at this stage. I would wait until the sutures are out and give all the swelling time to settle down. It may take 6-8 weeks. I'm not a doctor but a veterinarian and we do similar types of surgery on dogs with eyelid problems quite regularly. They look very stretched and "unnatural" to start with but once all the swelling and stretching settles, it looks great. Hang in there!
coconutsboston Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 It looks to me like it is just swollen. Best wishes with your recovery, keep us posted on how it goes!
guyguy26 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Posted October 26, 2010 Finally stitches removed! 7 days after surgery: Left eye closed: Left eye open: Right eye closed: Right eye open: Whole pic:
jeneen Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 I think it looks really nice - you healed well. I'm sure you looked great before, but if it makes you more confident, I'm glad you did it and it went as planned.
monstar Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 be sure to put ice on it and practice opening ur eyes open really big! (this is what they told me to do when i got mine done)
ms-whitney Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 your progress is soooo much better then a fellow coworker of mine--she told people she had to do it because it is better for her eye sight? for it not to be 'droopy' so she went ahead and did the double eyelid surgery.. it was a few months ago and she still hasn't taken off the sunglasses (she wears them indoor) because her eyes are still red/swollen? or because she has to? i don't know.. but your progress looks excellent for seven days after!
tara-one Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Your eyes looks soo good! Please keep us updated! Would you please show us a pic each week?
guyguy26 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Posted November 1, 2010 For those who had it done... did people realize it? I'm still worried that people will realize I had cosmetic surgery.
rainrowan Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 After you heal completely and have no more swelling, it's not going to look so pronounced. After all you are getting used to it yourself so try to relax... I know it's hard to, but from what I see, it looks like it's healing nicely.
