What a beautiful black eye !

Many of the post-op patients I care for also admire their successful black eyes, but not because they can see better, but because others see them about 10 years younger after an eye lift (which may or may not have been accompanied by a facelift). It is a very satisfying part-time job to have. People pay me to care for them after a facelift, breast reconstruction after cancer, or tummy tuck after too many children. They often refer to me as the “Ice Queen”, in the kindest of ways. After submitting to my care 24-48 hours post surgery, and my “icing” them down with frozen peas throughout the day and night, I achieve what is affectionately known as “The Donna Effect”, transation: minimal swelling and bruising decreasing their overall recovery time significantly. It is one small, yet important way, I feel appreciated. Black eyes, who knew !

Hope you’re enjoying this summer…which got too hot too fast !

Take care, Donna
