Ok so had all that work done on my face and eyes and I fully expected to be bruised and swollen...but I didn't think my face would turn so yellow and now this morning my left eyeball is yellow (and still bloody).

Has anyone else had this happen after face/eye surgery?  I see my surgeon tomorrow but wonder if I need to worry about this yellow eye thing........

THANKS

The only two things I can think of that would turn eyes (or anything else) yellow:

1)  recovering from bruising; and/or
2)  something going on with your liver

... but if it was a liver thing I'd expect both eyes to be yellow . . . .

Thus concludes the full extent of my medical wisdom (which obviously approaches zero).  I don't spoze you asked the doctor ...

Hi Charming...
I'm thinking it's not likely to be jaundice or the liver but I've never heard of the eyeball bruising...I guess it's possible.
This just started this morning, since it's Sunday I don't want to put in an emergency call to the surgeon and I see him tomorrow...maybe it will be better by then, who knows.  Now, having said that, if my eyeball gets any weirder or looks like it's going to pop out  you can bet your last dollar I'll be calling the surgeon!

LOL on the many colors...I feel the same way. 

Hey - I ventured out for a little drive this afternoon (no, I wasn't driving), it was nice but kept the sweatshirt hood pulled up to cover some the mess...I'm sure I was quite the site for the passing cars....LOL

Ruthie, Ruthie, Ruthie...Girl, what have you gone and done to yasself???  What have you been drinking that you now have jaundice in one eye? 

I'll be interested to hear what your doc has to say to 'splain this little oddity that has happened only to YOU!  I knew you were special but this really takes the cake.  Hehehe

Glad to hear that all is well, above and beyond this one little complication.  Heal well my friend,

Mary

Its been 5 weeks since my lower face lift and I think the green has just finally left my face.  Good thing, as I go back to work on Tuesday.  My face is still numb but  every week that gets closer and closer to the ears.  I'm starting to like how my eyes are looking, but they are still somewhat numb also. 

It's really  hard to believe how bad we really look after the face lift.  I silenced  a whole group of people when I went down the hall at the hotel.

I'm leaving for my surgeon appointment in a few mins, I can't wait to see what he has to say about it.
