Title: Gold weight finally implanted
Post by: lauralynn on August 10, 2009, 01:34:09 pm

I had my gold weight implanted this past Wednesday.  All went well.  It is still a bit swollen and is bruising a little bit.  My eye closes all the way which my doctor says is excellent.  Anyone who has had a gold weight implanted....about how long did it take for the swelling to go down?  As much as I didn't want to get the gold weight, my eye is finally getting some relief.  Just can't wait for the swelling to go down.

I'm pleased to learn that your gold weight implant was successful.  I trust others who have undergone this procedure will be able to answer your question regarding swelling.

I had an excellent outcome with my weight, no bruising or swelling at all. However, before surgery, my doctor told me that I might have a black eye for up to four weeks. I hope yours does not last that long.

You might get more responses by asking a moderator to move this question to "Eye Issues" or just go there to do a search for eyelid weights.

Best wishes,
Sara

Hi Laura Lynn:  So glad you have the weight - as far as swelling, everyone is different,  but I think mine took about a week.
Always good thoughts,  Nancy
