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.
