How was your eyelid (blepharoplasty) surgery recovery?
By Talibon 23 Aug 2009
Wanted to hear for other eyelid surgery, bleph, patients who are recovering from eyelid surgery. How long has it taken to get back to work? what side effects do you have? what else do you wish you knew ahead of time before surgery? How is your eyelid surgery recovery going? Thank You!

Blepharoplasty reviews and storiesI was very relieved that they applied dark contact lenses into my eyes before starting the incisions. I was beyond myself, worrying about a scalpel only millimeters away from my eyeball. The contact lenses alleviated that fear.
I applied ice packs constantly the first day, and was scrupulously hygienic. Also slept upright on the couch all night long. I was expecting a hideous face the second day (today) but no such thing! Everything is okay; I feel all right. All together, surprisingly pleased.
I had an excellent doctor; Dr. Leslie Cunningham. (This was a medically necessary surgery.) My friend, driving me back home yesterday, commented on how better I looked already. Even with stitches and blood.
So glad to hear you're doing well, suzrus. When you're feeling up to it, it'd be great if you could post a review for others who are considering blepharoplasty.
Please keep us posted on your healing. :)
