COSMETIC ENHANCEMENT
(WEEK TWO)
DAY EIGHT RECOVERY
Today my stitches are removed, which I’m
excited about.
Swelling, redness and bruising are subsiding
and still no pain or discomfort.
I’m given Blackmores Natural Vitamin E cream
and advised to gently massage the scar tissue on
my eyelids twice daily. I’m told that lumps
of scar tissue will be felt but will resolve with
time and massage. I keep following my postoperative
instructions.
DAY NINE RECOVERY
Swelling is continuing to reduce and redness
and bruising are subsiding significantly. Still no
pain or discomfort. I follow the post-operative
instructions and use the Vitamin E cream.
DAY ELEVEN RECOVERY
At this point, I notice the healing progress is a
slower process and I’m not seeing significant
daily changes. Still zero pain and zero discomfort.
I follow my post-operative instructions and use
the Vitamin E cream.
DAY TWELVE RECOVERY
My eyes are starting to take shape
and look ‘normal’. I keep following my
post-op instructions.
ONE MONTH POST PROCEDURE
I still have slight swelling. It’s not noticeable, but
I can feel it. The base of my eyelids feels numb,
which is normal and will get better over time.
I apply makeup for the first time. I opt
for mineral makeup (Aspect Minerals) and
tubed mascara.
My eyelids feel dry along the scar, but the
scar isn’t visible when my eyes are open or
when I’ve applied makeup. The scar tissue is
healing extremely well – it’s barely noticeable.
I continue to massage Vitamin E cream to help
with the healing.
FINAL OUTCOME
I am so pleased with the outcome. The entire
process, from the procedure to recovery, was
incredibly quick and easy. Not once did I feel
pain or discomfort.
In terms of my vision, I don’t feel the need to
elevate my eyebrows to see, and I look brighter
and more awake. The scar is minimal and will
continue to get better with time. The procedure
has truly changed my life. I am beyond grateful to
Dr Benjamin Burt and his incredible team. He is
a genius and a master at his craft. CBM
