I was very nervous to have the stitches removed. It was exactly as I expected, hurt a tiny bit but was bearable. Both the nurse and surgeon seemed to be pleased with my results although it looked pretty terrible to me!
I was told to try and keep my eyes away from direct water contact. After showering, if the incision area was damp, it was suggested I dab the area with a soft Kleenex. Other than this I was told to apply a thin layer of Vaseline (to keep it moist) but other than this leave it alone. I was also instructed to continue sleeping with my head elevated and to avoid sleeping on my side. Not comfortable.
As for makeup? Not allowed for 2-3 days after the stitches were removed. Sunglasses for a few more days.
This photo was taken 5 days post op. Same day stitches were removed.
Next photo was taken 1 week post op ( 2 days after stitches were removed).
9 days post op. Lightly applied concealer with a makeup brush.
I'm excited to go out in public without having to wear sunglasses.
