【双眼皮手术】My Double Eyelid Surgery (with stitches) Experience

Hey ya'll! Today's post will be a slightly different as I will be sharing with you about my Double Eyelid Surgery Experience. 

In this post I will not be disclosing the place where I had my surgery done or give any comments and feedback regarding the place. It will purely be about how I feel throughout the entire process.

So sit back, relax and prepare yourself for a long story telling session.

Here is a photo of me way back.
I have some contact lens on, no makeup, no eyelid tape.

Here is another photo but in this photo I pasted on some eyelid tape and drew on a cat eye to extend the length of the eye. 



Here is a photo taken just 1 year before the surgery. 
(No makeup No contact lens No eyelid tape)



So before I go heavy with the photos, I shall tell you more about a few things to take note of.

-Healing Period: 2-6 months
-Try to stay home for the first 2 days.
-The less touching, rubbing or disturbing of the wound for the first 2 days, the better the results.
-The less you look in the mirror the better. As looking in the mirror would involve a lot of facial movements which may pull scar apart.
-Try not to wet the upper eyelid for the first 2 days. Shower with care.
-You can run water over your upper eyelid after 2 days. 
-No soap on eyelid for 5 days.
-It is important to wipe eyelids clean with soft facial tissue.
-Avoid contact lens for 2 days.
-Lying down in bed will not help with swelling.
-Do not bend over, it will increase swelling and bleeding. 
-Avoid eating very salty food for first 2 weeks to reduce swelling.
-Bruising and swelling will continue for 2-4 weeks.
-Postpone exercising.
-Avoid excessive sun exposure.
-Try to avoid sauna, facial and massages near face
-You will look natural after 3-6 months

So now that we have that settled lets move onto the photos of my recovery process.

*Upcoming photos might look disturbing so proceed with care*


This cute collage is done by my mom!




Super disturbing I know lol!
And look how swollen it is!

My stitches were removed on the 7th day.
The swelling subsided a lot after the stitches were removed, and it felt a lot more comfortable.

2 weeks: Swelling subside enough to go outside
4 weeks: Normal people probably wont notice
3 months later: Swelling should have 90% subsided 

Here are some follow up pictures of the swelling in specific time frame for your reference.
 (Swelling subsides at different rates for each individual)

This is a picture about weeks post-op.
Also my first picture after a 3 weeks break from social media.
You can tell that the lids are still larely swollen, but as you can see, i have eye makeup on and it's not an issue.





(May 2015)
1 month post-op and school was back on.
Can tell that the swelling for sure went down a bunch in just this week!
