I didn't know you and Yen went for upper eyelift surgery as well. I hope both of you will recover well. I did my upper eyelift via the cutting method as well almost two weeks ago. Mine is to remove fats and loose skins. On the first five days, I looked like a racoon - eyelids are red and swollen. I have recovered very well since and my eyelids have gone down a lot and the redness is gone but my eyelids are still not normal - a bit swollen still. The scars are healing well but still a bit swollen. It will fade overtime I believe.
Dryness and tightness are normal. You can get Eyemo to relieve the dryness and like what Yen has said, keep them dry. You will see your eyelids starting to heal from the 3rd or 4th day onwards. If you want your scars to fade, you can buy from Kalo a silicon gel for scar and wound management called Scarfade. It costs RM120.00 and you can apply that 2 or 3 days after the stitches have been removed. Don't use the gel prior to that.
How did your rhinoplasty go? Take care! : )
Hi Yen,
Hope you are recovering well. Take care! : )

When I was attacked by a dog a few years ago and had to have surgery to the face, I tested my theory (yes, I was mad) and ate everything that was considered "tok" -- seafood, chicken, goose (yes goose as it was considered especially bad for you and i got someone to hunt down some goose for me), black soy sauce etc. I didn't just do it to piss off my Mom; I had 3 days of bland, "cheng" food and porridge and I thought -- enough! So I ate. And ate and ate some more. It was the only thing that kept me sane as looking in the mirror (Swollen eyes, nose, lips, scratches, bite marks etc) made me want to cry.
So anyway, 30 stitches on the face, open wounds etc and I am fine today. There are some very faint scars, one from where the dog tore off a triangular chunk of flesh above my eye, but it's been worked into my eyelid crease so you can't see it. The other one or two that I am aware of rest are practically nonexistent.
So, that's my experiment anyway. I won't say it didn't give my mom heart attacks and in hindsight i would have probably killed myself if i had developed tauyew-coloured scars, but I guess food affects some people and not others.
