What can I do for under eyes now that upper lids have been done ?
-- Updated on Jan 3, 2010:
It has been 4 months since my upper lid bleph and all is healed. However I notice that there is still a significant amount of skin that now folds over the incision line , more on the left eye than the right. Even when my eyes are closed there is skin that is covering the suture line. It shows the most at the outside corners where the suture line extends past my eye.
Would it be out of the question to ask my surgeon to do a scar revision and remove that excess skin ? Would I be required to pay for a whole new procedure? Of course I understand I would have to pay for local anesthesia , use of office etc but don't want to pay for a bleph .
My eyes are back to looking tired and droopy , although I can see better , I want them to look as best as they can .
I feel embarrassed to ask my doctor but I really want the incision line to be fixed. Would love to hear input on this ...thanks !

Can you tell me your doctors name?.my zip is 08735 ,,im one digit off from you, r u in toms river?

No , I am not in Toms River , I live in Manasquan. Dr Berg has an office in Brick and one in Asbury Park (Ocean Township really). You can visit him in his Brick office but all of the testing to see if your vision is impared is done in the Asbury Pk office as well as the surgery, so you may just want to make your appt there.
Remember there are no bells and whistles , lol ..you are awake with local anesthesia but I did just fine. I love what he did and being an ocular surgeon he was able to get it through my insurance. Let me know how you make out !

Thanks so much M for the sweet compliment :) !
I actually feel so much better having had my eyes done. I didn't realize HOW tired and old I looked until after. I look at pictures from before the surgery and I am blown away that a 30 minute surgical procedure could take 10 years from my face. I don't know why I waited so long. I would do it again in a second. Good luck and DO keep me posted. Kat

Looking at your photos, you have a small need for a lower lid bleph. I would have an ophthalmic plastic surgeon take a look at it and see what they think.

Gee thanks, lol :p I have been thinking the same , however was wondering if injections into the tear trough may work ...its really not that bad ? I don't normally have huge bags under my eyes , could be swelling in this photo from the upper lid bleph. Seems like all of a sudden my face is falling ! Not to mention the body. There seriously should be a menopause makeover , not just the mommy makeover.

Pros ~I can see again , I look way better than I had pre-op and am having fun applying shadows where I could not at all before , due to having no upper lid showing.
Cons~I wish there had been more skin removed from my lids, under eyes seem to look more hollow.
