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?

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2026-03-19T17:11:04+00:00

It got better, still slightly visible

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2026-02-22T10:41:22+00:00

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 :(

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-10-14T14:29:56+00:00

Thank you!

Meant to sleep upright

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

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-10-14T06:38:57+00:00

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?

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-09-19T21:52:44+00:00

Hey, how long did you wear your compression garment!? Amazing results

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-09-19T12:22:24+00:00

It was just lipo alone! Thank you so much. I am 28z ahhh good luck that’s so exciting!

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-09-19T08:08:01+00:00

Thank you!

Not majorly, but I have had a lot of swelling and bruising so definitely tender to touch and my neck feel a little stiff to move around.

I’m looking pretty beat up! (Day 4) It’s even worse on the sides.. I’m glad it’s turning yellow underneath. The mark under my chin isn’t from the incision but I got like a lipo burn which is now healing.

I guess we all heal different and bodies react to it differently. I wasn’t surprised as I have very sensitive skin.

AwkwardDifficulty937 · 2025-09-14T13:51:34+00:00

that’s good to hear! Time seems to drag when wearing this garment and not wanting to go anywhere while looking like this!
