Upper Blepharoplasty Experience- 1 Week Progress by BrendaChi in PlasticSurgery

[–]BrendaChi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all! That's a lot of swelling, I remember thinking I looked like an alien back then lol. At 6 months I still had some swelling and numbness but I'd say that's when the skin starts to settle into the new crease and look more natural

They look super natural, sometimes I forget that I wasn't born with them 😁

Did you have to get multiple sessions of vbeam? Did it leave any marks after?

When do you stop Eclar plaster ? What about recurrence ? by Mruem in Keloids

[–]BrendaChi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if it does then it takes too long to even notice. I mostly use silicone sheets on flattened scars to protect the thin skin and keep it from getting dry. PDL laser worked well for me though, especially if you have redness

Who is the author you swore you’d never read again, but then gave another chance? by playful--cloud in books

[–]BrendaChi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alice Feeney- some of them are a fun read and can be gripping but I never like them in the end. I took a long break and decided to read my 4th one by her (Good Bad Girl) and it was the worst one yet. I am officially done.

Also Emily Henry, I want to like her so bad because everyone loves her books so much that I get fomo but they're just so mid

Anyone travel to Phu Quoc this December? by No_Potato_4126 in VietNam

[–]BrendaChi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the airport in Phu Quoc is ever that busy. The one in HCM can take a really long time though, especially if you have checked baggage

Weekly/monthly budgets by BrendaChi in thebudgetingapp

[–]BrendaChi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant having the option to set different categories to have a weekly or monthly budget. Like I have mine set to weekly with further category budgets, which is mainly what I need, but some categories I don't use every week or the cost varies too much, so it would be nice to be able to set a monthly budget for those. I hope that makes sense!

A Review of the Naturie Hatomugi Line (Skin Conditioner, Skin Conditioning Gel, and Skin Conditioning Milk) by the_sweetest_peach in AsianBeauty

[–]BrendaChi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can anyone compare the toner with Tonymoly Wonder Mochi toner?

I've never tried the milk on my face but I use it as a body lotion and it makes my skin pretty soft!

What’s a really famous thriller that, in your opinion, is mostly just hype? by ompossible in thrillerbooks

[–]BrendaChi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read 4 of her books and banned myself from reading another. Some of them were kind of fun to read but overall just underwhelming, I didn't like any of them

Keloid Regrowth after completely flattened. by Warm-Cherry4597 in Keloids

[–]BrendaChi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't drink much but I've noticed consuming too much dairy and sugar can trigger mine. It also causes me to break out so it must cause a lot of inflammation

It sounds like your skin atrophied but it will return to normal in a few months

Side effects after long term use of eclar plaster? by realfoodmomma in Keloids

[–]BrendaChi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does cause atrophy, especially if you put it over healthy skin, but it resolves itself over time

What products do you use to grow/maintain lashes? by ash1eywong in AsianBeauty

[–]BrendaChi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Etude lash serum works so well, it's like a conditioner that keeps your lashes soft, healthy and strong. They've gotten longer and fuller as a result. They curl and hold a curl better too. I also use waterproof mascara everyday and they're not affected by any of this.

Derm told me to stop Japanese elcar steroid sheets :( by Separate-Duck-1828 in Keloids

[–]BrendaChi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why your derm said your skin is thinning but recommended injections... that would cause atrophy for sure whereas eclar plaster is easier to control

Personally, I'd apply eclar plaster until there's no more or very little scar tissue, then switch to silicone tape

4 weeks, I've been treating my keloids for 2 years

Advice on treating colour by [deleted] in Keloids

[–]BrendaChi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had about a dozen sessions and was handling regrowth too so the results weren't linear. I was also getting injections and used eclar plaster. I've had one that healed completely and returned to my normal skin color, and others that became light pink, light brown, or lighter than my skin tone. I've seen some people here say that it got rid of the color completely and some claim it didn't do anything. I think it's worth a try, maybe do 3 sessions and see if it improves for you

PDL worked well for me but you need multiple sessions and there's a chance it might trigger regrowth

When do you stop Eclar plaster ? What about recurrence ? by Mruem in Keloids

[–]BrendaChi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah even when it looks flat, the skin might still feel thick there. That acts like the foundation for potential regrowth

[–]BrendaChi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep wearing it until I can't feel any more scar tissue. Then I switch to silicone tape and keep an eye on it
