Detailed review on day 15 after upper epicanthoplasty + revision natural adhesion double-eyelid surgery. (Anyone bruised like me..?? + lots of photos)

Review on day 15 after revision eye surgery Because of a change in my state of mind, I lost weight in a short period of time, and the fat in one upper eyelid suddenly disappeared, so I was really stressed about getting multiple eyelid folds and my double eyelid disappearing. I had no problem with my eye-opening strength and didn’t need ptosis correction, so I went with the natural adhesion method, and because I wanted to change my existing in-out line to a semi-out line, I also had a very slight upper epicanthoplasty done together. At first, the consultant also mentioned fat grafting (even I thought I probably needed it lol), but the doctor said to have the surgery first and do it separately later if needed. I thought my eyes would be easy to work on, but apparently they were more difficult than expected, so a full semi-out line would be hard, and the doctor said they would make it somewhere between an in-out and semi-out line. I went to the clinic wearing contacts, but they said I had to take them out, so after I took them out and went in, I couldn’t see them marking the line.. sob (my vision is -6.5 in both eyes) Still, I went with a friend, so I trusted my friend & the doctor and said, “Yes. Please do it like that,” then lay down on the operating table. They used sedation anesthesia, and they woke me up midway, so I could feel the thread pulling. It didn’t hurt, but it gave me an unpleasant feeling. Ah! Since I was getting my eyes and nose done together, I kept asking them to do my nose well while they were working on my eyes.. almost obsessively;; On day 7, while removing the nasal stitches + splint, they also removed the upper epicanthoplasty stitches (stung a little). The swelling wasn’t that severe, but my eyes did their own very glamorous makeup lol Now, on day 15, my current eye condition is that when I open my eyes upward, the right side feels a bit tight.. the outer end seems slightly uneven because of swelling, and the bruising is insane!! If anything, my nose has recovered so much that it looks like I didn’t even get it done, but my eyes.. I’m sure they’ll get better with time, but even after searching through lots of reviews here, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone still bruised like me on day 15, so it feels kind of special.. I do bruise easily and my bruises last a long time by nature, so I’m trying to control my mindset and wait it out. I wrote this review for record-keeping, but if you have any questions, leave a comment! I’ll help as much as I can in as much detail as I know~ I’d be really grateful if you could share any tips for making bruises fade quickly.
