Hi Guys
Well the eyes are healing pretty good. They are still sore where the cuts were made and in the outer corners. I still have the darker scaring from the tape on the outer corners also as you can see but I can tell that will go away.
I still have Chemosis, so my eyeballs are still quite swollen. The right eyeball is really swollen and my iris of my right eye is higer than the left because of it. I am hoping that by the time the chemosis heals my eye iris's will be even. When I look in the mirror I look like I have google eyes especially in the morning and at night when the Chemosis is bad and my eyes are really swollen.
As you can see from the top pics my eye lids are protruding quite a bit on my closed eye, it is because my eye ball swelling and will correct as the chemosis heals.
The bags are gone though, but I have dents on the corner of my eyes, but I think the tape scars make it look worse than it is becuase it is dark there still. But they were there before surgery, I just didn't notice.
I still have some good swelling, they say it can take up to a year for the true results to show and swelling to go away, but so far so good.
The dark vertical lines on the outer corner of the eyes is from the tape removing skin which left some darkness on my skin, but it will fade.

The bags look completely gone and the discoloration looks like something cocoa butter can cure. I cant even see the cuts.
Good job surgeon!

Thanks Michelle
I talked to 4 very creditable PS before I got this done asking about Keloids and every single one of them said the same thing, that skin on the eye area is so thin it does not keloid, it's not impossible but it is extremely unlikely.
Two of the doctors I talked to were in Beverly Hills, one from that 90210 show and the other two practice in San Francisco, one being the surgeon I picked. I was scared though but I am just so happy it turned out ok.
I think it looks pretty good and as soon as this eyeball swelling stops I am hoping that the iris will level out and match the other eye.
