Met with my ocular surgeon yesterday for my 3 month check up. Overall, he was pleased with the placement of the eyes, but he remarked that the scarring on my face was a less than desirable outcome, as was the sag on my upper eyelids. He would like me to consider an upper eyelid surgery this spring, as well as some botox around the eye to speed and improve the healing around my scars…..I’ll post some photos later today when my camera shows up! LOL!
I’m torn about the botox. First of all, it’s not covered by insurance, and costs about $20 a unit. He is suggesting 20 units total, so that’s $400. Second of all, its botox….a second cousin to botulism. Also, I’ve seen many an actress who has had a few too many units of this stuff (like Nicole Kidman) and they look like they are devoid of any kind of personality.
The upper lid surgery will probably happen, though. But I’m not making any decisions until January. I want to enjoy my holidays without thinking about my next surgery, thank you very much!
