I want to share with you a secret about healing after surgery. A very common procedure is upper blepharoplasty, which is removing extra skin from the upper eyelid. Now, this leaves you with a scar, and these scars heal and they fade over time and they become almost invisible in most cases. There's something that you can do to speed up that healing and make the redness and the scar look a lot better, a lot more quickly. Basically, you take a green tea bag and you steep it in warm water. Now, green tea is a very strong antioxidant. You can take that tea bag and place it on a closed eyelid. And you do that several minutes a day, several times a day, and after several weeks, you see the redness seems to improve significantly.
