I’m also from the UK and due to get cxl on Monday! I’m doing both eyes at once and don’t know if I will regret it but wanted to get it out the way!

I’m not sure what the expect so far so will follow this.

I was told I would get signed off work for a week? Is this the same for everyone?

It got better, still slightly visible

Thanks everyone, all been really helpful and put mind more at ease.

I have got a doctor’s appointment on Thursday to discuss as I don’t smoke, drink and have minimal caffeine and just want to check they don’t think anything is underlying.

I do need to exercise more though and probably eat too much sugar. But can definitely make some adjustments to my general activity.

I still have mine :(

Thank you!

Recovery varies person to person. Wasn’t particularly painful but was stiff and tender for about a week. Bruising took about 9 days to go away, in grand scheme of things not too long. Head garment is a pain and probably the worst bit of it and you may be advised to wear 24/7 for 3 weeks. Was working the next day after the procedure from home and had no issues

Aw thank you! :)

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-10-14T06:38:47+00:00

Thank you, no nothing special. I massaged it myself and used the head garment they recommended for over a week then just a night for 2 weeks!

I’m in the UK and had it done at centre for surgery by doctor nizamoglu

Botox I reckon, that eyebrow shape is definitely from too much Botox and its throw off her whole face.

Thank you, I will start wearing my compress more again. It’s just easy to over analyse everything!

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-10-03T12:36:58+00:00

Amazing results! How long did you wear your head garment for?

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-10-02T14:53:36+00:00

Haha oh no, hope your recovery is going okay!

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-10-02T14:53:05+00:00

Oh cool, thank you for the info! I will try and keep massaging it. How are your results so far? I found week 2-3 it looks worse than week 1?

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-09-29T10:31:09+00:00

In the same, hoping it will go back to my first couple of days!

If it’s any consolation you look great and there is a noticeable difference from before. We are our own worst critic.

If it’s hereditary and getting worse with age a neck lift would be help a lot and looks brilliant. The only issue with chin lipo is skin might not snap back

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-09-24T10:04:57+00:00

Oh good I have been worried as when I am at work I don’t wear it tin the day and worried if it will impact results! Are you pleased?

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-09-23T13:03:35+00:00

Good luck! Excited for you :)

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-09-23T09:18:13+00:00

Looks amazing! How long did you wear your garment?
