Pictures now added

Heya all

I've figured out how to post pictures though haven't scanned any up to date ones or the ones that were taken by the plastic surgeon. It's now end of June 2005 and I've yet to take new photos.

I do have a picture taken by my ps a couple of weeks ago which to me looks freaky as my left eye looks really bad!! Yikes. I'll post and update soon!

7th April 2005 : 5 months post surgery with make up

Taken 7th April 2005, 5 months post surgery with make up and mascara. Using eyeliner helps hide the scar marks and all other *sins*! As mentioned to Rebecca, my upper left eyelid eyelashes do not curl up as much as my right upper eyelid lashes. I am hoping this will be rectified after my revision surgery on 7th July.

5 months post surgery without make up or mascara (taken 7th April 2005)

Taken with no make up or mascara. Note lower left eyelid droop compared with right eyelid and if you look closer you can see the bump ie blood clot thing; and the upper eyelids are not symmetrical

Day 15 post surgery : Right eyelid with ptosis repair and upper/lower bleph surgery

Day 15 post surgery : Left Eye with lower eyelid droop, bump towards outer corner (at this stage upper eyelid crease isn't showing as it does in later weeks)

Day 7 post surgery : 16th Dec 04

Update : Sat 25th June 2005 on my revision surgery 7th July 05

Hello everyone

I've decided to start a new blog on my revision eyelid surgery. I have been posting at the eye forum at http://www.makemeheal.com/forum/viewForum.jsp?forum=2 where I've made many wonderful friends and found lots of support and I will continue to post there and here. The journey here is so that it'll be easier for those in the future to follow who have upper and lower bleph and also ptosis repair.

I will add photos in due course.

Upper/Lower bleph & ptosis repair : 12th Dec 04

A short summary for those of you new - I had my original upper/lower bleph and ptosis repair on the 12th December 2004 in London. I will copy and share my posts here in due course; though this Blog is now started so that I can share my revision surgery on my left eye, 7 months post op, on the 7th July 2005.

My left lower eyelid is pulling down showing the schelera and I need a canthoplasty. A blood clot looking scar on my lower left eyelid also needs removing and my upper eyelid crease only goes half way across my upper eyelid which also will be fixed so that the crease goes all the way towards the inner left eyelid.

Revision surgery: 7th July 2005

I go for my pre admission checks next Weds 29th June 2005. I am hoping that all goes ok as since my break up I've lost 8 pounds and am now like 7 stones 10 pounds for a 5 foot 5 and a half woman; which is like 108 pounds I think. I also have low blood pressure and this was a problem before. I am slow to heal and I bleed lots during surgery. I am eating as much as I can right now just so they won't say next week that I'm too underweight for my revision surgery the week after.
