In this video you can watch as I remove my surgical wrap and bandages as I get ready for my shower on Friday afternoon, which was 96 hours past my Lifestyle Lift surgery and day five of my LL experience. Although it was nice to remove the wrap and take my shower, I did find the wrap comforting at this point in my healing.
My neck is still tight and stiff and, as you can see, very bruised. I used Arnica Bruise Gel to help with the healing. At this point I was beginning to see an improvement in my eyes as they recovered from the eye lid lift or blepharoplasty as procedure is technically named. Dr. Castellano had advised me that keeping the sutures moist would help improve healing. I used Lacrilube for that purpose, but as always you should follow your surgeons instructions.
I was beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel with regard to my Lifestyle Lift healing on day four, but I was soon to learn there was still a long ways to go.
Thank you for making this video. I am almost two weeks out of surgery. I did not have my eyes done but I do have a bruise under one eye. Can you tell me how long it took for your bruising under your eyes to go away? Thank you for any information,
Bernadette
