So far I've only been using a light application of Vaseline to keep the area protected.  The plastic surgeon told me that at 3 weeks I could start to gently massage the area to help to break down any developing scar tissue. It will actually be 3 weeks on Tuesday Oct 20th since I had the surgery. I'm planning on buying some Mederma any day now to use instead of the Vaseline, when I start with the light 'massaging'.  But it's definitely healing up. It's still noticeable, but it really doesn't look any worse now than the lesion did when it was there. :)  Thanks for asking S'mom.

This was taken two weeks ago, just before getting the stitches removed. I still had a big streak of bruising below the eye, on my cheek.

I just took this picture.  As you can see it's healing up quite well. I believe that it will grow quite unnoticeable with time.

  • Looks pretty good in this short of time. I would do the massaging religeously to keep the area flexible. Inside.......
  • Thx S'mom. I've just now reached the stage where I'm not afraid to sleep on my left side... I was paranoid about putting too much pressure on that side of my face and accidentally pulling a stitch, But at this point I'm sure it's healed enough that I don't need to worry. Thanks for all your advice. I will definitely use lots of sunscreen, and massage the area faithfully. No point in having a scar there if I don't need to! :)/faysie
