I hope it does last longer! I always wear a hat and sunglasses in the sun so hopefully that will help.

You look fantastic too! Don't you just love the new look. I was a little disappointed when my surgeon told me this surgery will only last about 8-10 years. It could last longer as long as we stay out of the sun!
Your eyes look fantastic! I hope mine look as good. I was lucky that my bruising is going away fast so I hope it continues. Here is a picture pre-op and from today (1 week Post-op) with makeup:

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.
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?
Glad things are better!

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.

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.

Oh my gosh! You're looking SO much better by the last day! Looks like you're an amazing healer...
I am able to sleep in one position all night with no problems. Today I was able to get up from bed and recliner by myself and walk without the rolling walker. I still hate having to urinate because of the discomfort. I do feel better and did not feel the need to sleep as much today.
Tomorrow is my follow up appointment.
