Dr. Polonski removed the stitches from my lower eyelid the day before yesterday, on my birthday. This time, for the first time, after looking at his work closely, he said, “Lynne, I’m happy.” I had a scare that night, though, thinking that the skin was slipping. He saw me the next morning and assured me that all is looking as expected and that I could expect the appearance of the graft to change and vary considerably over the next few months. I’m still nervous about the skin, but the rest of the graft seems to be holding well.
