A Finnish YouTube star has given a detailed journey of what it was like to recover from her eyelid surgery, giving transparency to what looked like a rather gory aftermath. Content creator Henny Harjusola underwent a procedure called blepharoplasty, which is meant to lift one’s face without an actual facelift. An expert would remove excess skin from the eyelids and tighten loose skin without the use of stitches or any visible incisions.  Although the recovery process is said to only take about 72 hours, the 30-year-old post-operation timeline said otherwise, showing her 86,000 followers what her eyes looked like everyday after the surgery. Henny Harjusola shared her post eye procedure journey with her followers Image credits: hennyharjusola In a TikTok video that’s been viewed by nearly 100,000 people, Harjusola gave fans a glimpse of what she looked like before going under the knife.  As the days passed, the aftermath only looked more gruesome. There was visible swelling on her eyelids and redness around the corners, as well as a white material that seemed to coat the skin right below her eyebrows — perhaps protective tape. After ten days, Harjulosa wrote, “Stitches out and new tapes.” Image credits: cottonbro studio/Pexels (Not the actual photo) Image credits: hennyharjusola It wasn’t until approximately day 16 that the content creator started to look healthy once more, with her eyelids returning to their previous skin color.  When day 56 hit, most people wouldn’t be able to tell there had been any procedure done, especially with additional makeup. Although it looked as if side effects were particularly painful, Harjulosa’s transparency was praised by her followers as they complimented on her “beautiful” new look. The recovery process is said to only take 72 hours but it seemed Harjulosa went through days of visible discomfort before things got better Image credits: hennyharjusola “I go for my eye surgery in June,” one person said. “I hope my healing process goes as smoothly as yours did.”  “It looks sooo good!” another complimented.

You would be really pretty without them sticking out like a sore thumb!” As reported by Daily Mail, many young women tend to get lip fillers. Recently, however, those within the 20-30 year range have been embracing the procedure more openly, sharing their experience on social media.  On the other hand, eyelid surgeries are a little less talked about, but can be equally effective. The outlet states that the procedure proves to be “a smash hit with A-listers” since the eye area can be easily covered with makeup.

Nuclear waste, specifically the high-level spent fuel that needs to be dropped in cooling ponds for years. Make no mistake, it can absolutely [unalive] you if you’re exposed to the neutron emissions, but once it’s cooled off, it’s melted down into glass and sealed away in concrete casks. For all intents and purposes, these casks are indestructible; you could hit them with a runaway train and they wouldn’t break open. They can also be sealed away in deep boreholes underground for billions of years, more than enough time for the radioactive elements to decay to harmless amounts. When it’s handled correctly, nuclear waste may be the safest kind of waste there is. Ash from coal power plants emits far more radioactive particles than a nuclear reactor ever will, and it’s handled way less responsibly.

My dad is an electrician, and he taught me when I was pretty young how to fix electrical things, so I am always amused at how terrified people are by anything to do with electricity.

Changing the brakes on your car.  They're trivially easy to do, don't require any special tools outside of a torque wrench, and dealer and mechanic prices are outrageous (parts can be found online for a fraction of the dealer price at places like AutoHausAZ, and shop rates for labor are super expensive).  It's pretty hard to screw up, and can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Tandem Skydiving -  strongest safety statistics of any type of jump, with only 0.003 fatalities per thousand jumps over the past 10 years. You're more likely to be struck by lightning or win the lottery than to die on a tandem skydive.  Only done it twice, but such an incredible experience and rush....
