Photos were taken on 22 June 2015.
I am very pleased with the progress and it definitely does not look swollen anymore. The scar is completely skin colored but I do notice it up close in the mirror. It looks like a little squiggly line. This doesn't bother me at all. I never expected it to disappear anyway.
I went back to the clinic on 6 June for my 2nd review with Dr Andrew Tay. As I'm already satisfied with the outcome of my surgery (because nothing has turned out horribly and I'm already toward the end of my recovery process), I didn't have much to say to the doctor. Yet, as meticulous as he always is, he gave my eyelids a thorough inspection.
He asked me how I felt about the outcome and mentioned that the scars are still healing and will soon become barely noticeable (the current state is already good enough for me!). He also mentioned that I still have some more time to go before my eyelids settle (really? But they look so low already, oh no).
Finally, I made a comment that they didn't turn out to be parallel as I requested but I'm fine with the way I look now. Somehow he was very frustrated by this because he said that if we have a goal we should make sure we reach it. And I could tell he was really disappointed that he didn't manage to reach the goal with me.
I still don't feel it's totally the doctor's fault because he is not able to control the way we heal and how my eyelids will eventually choose to settle.
He mentioned that my eyelids are also not fully tapered. And it's only noticeable when I look really closely, but indeed the there is a tiny gap between the lines.
I have my 3rd review coming up (omg, I've no idea why there are so many). And he'll be taking a concluding photo of my eyes then.
