I also have major headaches that last almost 2 days from lifting up my eyebrows due to hooded eye lids, did all the tests and my insurance is paying for this $4,000. I am going in for upper Blepharoplasty this Wednesday, have arnica and bromelain am so looking forward to wearing mascara again! Thanks for sharing!

Good luck with your surgery! I have a browlift and bleph scheduled for Oct. I also suffer from migraine headaches. How do you get insurance to cover all or part of the procedure?

Thank you! My doctor ordered a vision field test required by insurance company. My eyelids were obstructing my vision in both eyes and would be improved if I were to have the surgery. At least that was my understanding from the doctor.

An hour out or so... Slightly blurred vision, some tightness in closing eyes. Twilight anesthesia and novacaine eye drops - they may have also done local injections in OR room. For the most part I was aware of everything going on during procedure but in a "comfortable way" you could say. Icing every 2 hrs for 20 mins and no bending over for 24 hours, also have to stay off feet ~ room service ;)

Headache is gone finally. Trouble sleeping since I had to sleep sitting up. Soreness around eye area by incisions like any normal cut but nothing you would need pain medication for. Woke up with edema around my eyes and cheek area. Going to grab an ice pack. I think I only have to ice 4 times today 20 minutes each time. Also still taking all my Vitamedica supplements previously noted as post-supplement support.
