Guest guest Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hi all, Liliana had her first surgery this past Wednesday. They did a frontalis lift (ptosis correction) using a synthetic material. All went well and so far the results are looking great. Her eyes aren't completely even but they still look great, but more importantly they are opened so much more now. I wasn't prepared for just how upset Liliana was going to be after the surgery - I guess I thought she'd be more groggy but she was quite coherent and very upset. I was so relieved to hold her and that the surgery went well. Lili's eyes were quite swollen Wednesday but gradually have gotten better. In fact, they look pretty great and we've all been pleasantly surprised at how fast she is healing. We knew going into this that there was a possibility that she would have difficulty closing her eyes after the surgery and that is just what came to be today as her swelling has subsided. Fortunately our Dr. equipped us with ointment in case this occurred, but it's still a bit alarming. Has anyone else had a similar experience with the eyes not completely closing (particularly while sleeping)? If so, was readjusting done or was it simply dealt with by lubricating the eye? I'd be curious to know. Thank's for those of you who sent your best wishes, advice, and prayers. God has truly blessed Liliana and our family throughout the last few days. -Suzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
