the week after

7 12 2009

I seem to posting updates 1-week after my follow-up doctor visits.   I guess, I’m not terribly motivated because I don’t have any ‘juicy’ facts to share; just the trivial moments of my current affairs.

My doctor was very impressed with my progress (or should I say: how great my left eye looks).  She actually ask what I had been doing to promote this great of an improvement to the shape of my eye.  I attribute it to the massaging she recommended and the facial creams for damaged skin I researched and then purchased.  I really think they’re helping:

StriVectin- This cream pretty much immediately softened and reduced the size of the scars on my neck and chest, so I have been applying it to my face (alternating with the Kiehl’s).  My skin seems to not be so tight and pulled to the right; allowing my eye to relax and re-shape.

Kiehl’s ACAI Damage-Correcting Moisturizer- I started with this cream on my face and noticed a visible difference to the appearance of the scar, but my skin was still quite ‘tight’ in that area.

The doctor did give me two more shots, very small doses, into the area closest to my eye and on the bridge of my nose.  The after-sting is intense and really bizarre, I had a dent on my nose from the glasses for about a day, but the area looks almost normal – or I should say pre-surgery.

She also said she is much less inclined to want to do the skin graft previously suggested and felt I could skip my next scheduled appointment if I was comfortable with the progress over the next 3-weeks.  We’ll see how things go :)
