Who will notice (part 2)

Read Part 1 here.

In Part 1, it seemed pretty obvious to others that I had surgery done. I now realise that it was because my eyes were still swollen!

Now that my eyes are not swollen anymore and I look normal, I am still observing whether people notice or not.

I placed them in 2 categories below-

Not-so-close friends/acquaintances: Don't notice at all. Including females. They don't even look at me weirdly or say things like 'You look different'. Or perhaps they're just trying to be polite... well, I'll never know.

Also, if it helps, prior to the surgery, I almost always had black eyeliner on.

Best friends: Pretty no-brainer. Yup, they notice. I do have best friends and really close friends that I unfortunately meet really, really rarely. One of my best friends who I haven't seen since before the surgery saw a photo of me on FB and immediately noticed and said I looked much livelier!


Day 152: Hi-res photos, including scars

Here are the photos of my 'scars'.

I think they're not really obvious unless someone is really, really close to your face. Like my sister told me it looks like a scratch. Maybe because it's a little bumpy. At least it is 100% skin-coloured!

And no, it doesn't bother me. I don't find it obvious.

I used a digi camera for this post to get sharper and clearer pics. All of my other pics in the previous posts were taken using the front camera of my phone.

Day 127


Erm, I admit I'm not "posing" my eyes well since it looks really lopsided and 1 eyelid is higher than the other but I did this deliberately to show that my eyelids eventually DID turn out to be parallel BUT it is hardly obvious.

This is true to what Dr Tay observed during my last review - that my eyelids are not actually touching the corner. Just barely touching only.

It is also hardly noticeable in photos but this is the best I could do to "prove" that my eyelids did not become tapered. 

Also, this is what my eyelids look like now. I will probably post one a proper one that is not so lop-sided next.

Finally, now that my eyelids are at their most natural state that I'm getting compliments on them. Hehe. I love them and am very glad I had them done!

I am still not putting eye make-up because I still haven't mastered drawing eyeliner on double eyelids AND it makes my eyes look weirdly huge (like wow).

I strongly recommend taking photos consistently because I am still in awe that months back I was actually telling myself that my eyelids were not that swollen when actually compared to now, they were freakishly swollen yet I thought they were normal??? Lol!

Really, take photos to keep track of your progress. It's so funny to look back at them and go like omg, how did I go out in public like that...
