Day 18
(a recall from the previous post)

My review appointment with Dr Wu today. I have bought up my concerns on the severe dark eye circles and sunken areas (indention). He claimed that the dark areas are due to blood stasis (staining) from the operation. These darkness will disappear in a couple of weeks.

The indention (see pic below) is due to swelling on both areas just below my lower eyelashes and right below the sunken area. It is believed that when both swellings are gone, the sunken area will look plump up naturally. Well I will give them the benefit of a doubt. The bloodshot on my left eye has reduced in size.

I followed up with Titan and Thermage, thinking they can help to tighten the areas but failed. Then I do lymph massage to drain out the fluid from under my eye but failed too. I even tried having filler injections to plump up the skin and it failed badly too.

Well, after consulting many doctors, the best and only way to solve my problem is to surgically remove the solid fat pad.
