I will be taking one hydrocodone/apap 7.5/500mg tablet and one diazepam 10 mg 1/2 hour prior to the surgery and given a local numbing injection. Do you know from your experience if this a comfortable option compared to general sedation? Plus have you performed this surgery without the protective eye lens cover?
In more than 20 years of experience I often perform upper eyelid blepharoplasty under local anesthesia with only a Valium pill by mouth. When injected with a gentle hand and a tiny needle patients most often find it easily tolerable. I have never seen a plastic surgeon use eye shields for isolated upper lid surgery.
I went for a rhinoplasty consultation and the doctor said I should consider doing a blepharoplasty because like an asian person I did not have a fold. I had it done and my eyes are so different. I have an eye lid fold but my eyes are much larger and round. Will I ever get my eyes back? It's been almost a year. It has gotten better but I look totally different. Will I get to look like before over time or is this permanent? Can I go back to more almond eye shape?
We assume you mean after surgery on your lower eyelids. Rounding of your lower eyelids a year after lower lid bleph can easily be tightened with a lid tightening procedure.
Being technical here, how visible is the scar when looking down (downgaze)? I know that it can't be seen in normal gaze.

You are concerned about your scar in downward gaze, but not with your eye open.
It may take 6 months or more until your upper lid scar softens and fades when your eye is closed.
Be patient.
