just had the upper lids done on 5/21/03. I also had laser neck surgery (neck lift). The first day I clearly was looking like a freak. The second day eyes were swollen and the left eye turned into a black eye, but not too bad, still swollen. Today I woke up and less swelling around the stitches. What happens is that where ever you have something done that causes trauma, the resulting swelling and bruising moves down. So my black eye is now under my eye entering into my cheek area. I am told that by the time I go back to work on June 2nd that the stitches will be out and the swelling will be gone. The bruising will be in the yellow stages and I can use makeup to cover. I have not told anyone at work and do not want to, so if it still looks like something happened I am going to say that I was in a minor traffic accident and my airbag went off and gave me a black eye as this happens all the time. I don\'t like lying, but this is my private business and a lot of people have judgements about it. There is a personal story on this website from a woman who had her upper lids dones in 1986 and still feels that she looks great and that she had a great experience. Read that. I post in a few days to tell you more about what\'s happening with my recovery.
