Hi Deepeyes

I finished watching the video. It was extremely helpful in helping me understand the recovery process. As he says I find the recovery phase just as difficult if not more than the surgical phase. Thanks again for sharing.

Welcome! Thanks for the ointment and rizaben info too.
Really glad to know.

I totally agree recovery is way more difficult process than surgery itself. Lets heal beautifully together.

What puzzled me is the bruise under my right eye. It still stubbornly stays on.

I also had some bad bruising, they're definitely the thing that takes longer to disappear!

Tks! Actually I am not very worried abt the scars. It always comes and goes during my previous surgeries. Eventually it goes away after 6-9 mths. I m more anxious to see my depth result!

Get well soon!

My swelling are almost all gone. Dr Kang said it will be reduced by 80% within 2 weeks and indeed it did. What puzzled me is the bruise under my right eye. It still stubbornly stays on. My incision is getting very dry and I see white spots forming. It looks like those white flakes dry skin. I see little improvement in the depth although I must say the outer corners now are way more flat looking than before.
Probably need to wait another 2 months to see if there is any depth improvement.

Is the white flakes dry skin considered hydrotropic or keloid scars?

you said outer corners now are way more flat looking than before. you're talking about the overall outer corner of your eyes or the corner of your incision line? i wonder how it can look flatter when he actually did fg to your eyes. =)

Outer corners of incision lines are flat looking now. Inner corners are very deep still. Prior to this, entire incision lines were very deep.

The pharmacist also said to keep the scars moist. She actually said to keep putting on the antibiotic eye ointment on the scar so that's what I've been doing.

I got the lower eye fat graft at the last minute. Dr Kang and I were going through my picture during consultation and I asked why my love band was so prominent. I asked if I needed to do something and he recommended fat graft to lower eye--the love band was so prominent because my lower eyes were sunken in. Since i was going to extract fat anyway he said this would be a good time but didnt push me to do it. I made a hasty decision which I kind of regret because the new contours of my lower eyes look very unnatural. I also have serious bruises under eyes and along the rims of my eyes. I can tell these bruises are going to be with me for awhile. I'm hoping the contours will get better as the fat is reabsorbed.

The photos you see on Dr Kang's website are the ultimate best case scenarios. There are pictures where signs of surgery are unnoticeable after 10-14 days. I was expecting my recovery to be like that but I don't think that's realistic for me. I keep comparing my eyes to those on the website and I get worried about the outcome (especially about the lids remaining deep sausage like). Dr Kang said it will not stay that way so I'm trying to keep believing that

dont regret. you just had your fg not long ago. its too soon to tell. be patient and i'm sure you'll heal beautifully.=) my friend did facial fat grafting with dr.kang and the whole face, especially the lower eyes that area was bruised..like panda.

oh then thats a good news, because when the scar line is longer, it will look like a long extended wrinkles if its not flat . i actually noticed tht from some of his ba pic, like flatter end.
i guess because its still swelling now(especially the front, its more sensitive), so it'll definitely look deeper at this stage.

My outer corners have 2 lines. One is deep and follows the line from the inner corner. Towards the end there is another line which is where he cut and sewed and it is much higher longer and flares out a bit. If I loon closely at the outer corner my line splits into 2. I felt this was unnatural from day 1 and asked Dr Kang if the line extending high and out is normal and he said it will be ok. Does anyone know if 2 lines splitting is normal? Will it look like wrinkles?

My inner corners are just attached to the lids. It doesn't really look like an in-out fold because the in part is a line on the outside. Will this gradually turn into an in-out line?

Hi Weick,

I have 2 lines at my left outer corner too. One of the lines is very slightly deeper and follows the line from the inner corner. Towards the end there is another line which is where he cut and sewed and, different from yours, it is slightly lower and appears flatter. They are about 2mm apart. It is not very obvious though.

I asked Dr Kang since day 1 too and he told me it is just temporary.

If its not an in-out fold what fold is it currently? Outfold or infold?

 

[weick]

Dr Kang said I was getting an in-out fold. So in fold in the inner corner a d becomes out fold. Now it looks like out fold. The inner corner looks attached to my lids. Just a line visible.
The outer corner is really "forked".

Thank you for letting me know. These two lines "fork" is pretty visible though one is a bit lighter. Dr Kang also told me this will resolve itself so I'm trying not to look at it. But when I look at it it looks very strange.

Best to keep them moist to avoid stubborn scars

I applied the ointments from IOU. It is very moisturizing and can lasts for at least 7-8 hours so think it works better than Vaseline. IOU provides 2 ointments so should be ample.
