Eyelids and Brow PS - 5 days Post-op - Progress pics

Today I look like I'm recovering from being punched (bruising around eyes) and suffering from jaundice (my face is all yellow from resolving swelling and bruising). I've been taking daily pictures (mostly) so I could assess progress and extrapolate to when I'll look mostly normal to others. I feel fine now with the only physical annoyance being that my lids are glued together when I wake up in the morning so I have to soak my eyes with warm water to get them open. I hate the weird things in my hair which are holding my brow in place, but I can pretty much cover them with hair (though it alters my usual style a bit). The stitches on my eyelids come out Thursday and the things in my hair at 3 weeks (so approximately 1/4). I'm hoping to be presentable by Friday when I have to be out in public.

Here are my progress pics (day of surgery, 2 days Post-op, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days):

Tons of improvement! Looking great.

Thanks - getting there...

Wow, Liz! To my uneducated eye you look like you're healing REALLY quickly.

I'm working up the courage to "do something."

Better, but not in public better... hopefully by Friday. What is not obvious in the picture but is that in fluorescent lighting my face is a seriously yellow color (except my nose). I read something that said to wear green tinted makeup to offset it. But I'd have to go out in public to find green tinged makeup (who keeps that hanging around?). I do have dermablend which will cover the red bruises and hopefully a regular foundation will offset the yellow enough by Friday.

This morning was the first time my eyes weren't totally stuck together when I woke up but they are more swollen first thing in the morning.

Awesome results. It is amazing how quickly your swelling is going down.

Thanks for sharing!! I plan on getting my eyelids done someday.

Oh my gosh! You're looking SO much better by the last day! Looks like you're an amazing healer...

I think it looks better in the picture than it does in person. I do increase my protein as high as possible after PS and definitely healed fast last time.

I'm 4 weeks post of from upper and lower eye lid lift. I LOVE my new eyes. You're looking good. My bruising is just now going away. How did you paste the pictures?

This is upper and lower eye lid lift. (1) Day before surgery, (2) day of surgery, (3) two weeks after surgery, (4) three weeks after surgery and the last picture is recent, four weeks after surgery.
