It has been about six weeks since the surgery, and lately the swelling has subsided a lot, so I feel generally more stable. As time passes, the area around my eyes looks less dark, and my overall impression seems brighter, so I can definitely feel the difference. People around me have also told me I look younger than before, so I’m noticing that too. The stitch marks are also gradually fading, so I don't really mind them as I go about my daily life. Right now, I am focusing on eye area care to maintain the results. Overall, the biggest thing I feel is that I am less self-conscious about the things I used to be self-conscious about. 😊
