I am 37 and I have been concerned and self concsious about my dark circles for years and they are rapidly getting much worse. I always remember my mum looking very tired and older than the other mums when she was my age. I look just like her so knew it was coming.
I have tries fillers, which although a vast improvement, didn't resolve the issue fully. When I was tired the filled area swelled out to give me a sausage look under my eyes. I also have fatty deposits forming, which you'll see in the photo. They are great big stripes across my face and I hate them. They are the first thing I see when I even just glance in a mirror.
The hoods above my eyes are also sinking rapidly.
I first consulted a PS about this about three years ago. When I arrived, all his staff looked taut and overdone. He totally put me off saying that he could get rid of the dirk circles but it would make the fat deposits more prominent. He also sat me in front of a magnifying mirror and pointed out loads of little 'faults' and asymmetry, which I felt was uncalled for and most likely designed to sell additional procedures to me.
As I was leaving a nurse followed me out and quietly gave me the name of a different PS was a lot 'more subtle' and is apparently known in the industry for his excellent facial work.
So that is who I'm now going with. I've been consulting with him for a while now and I'm confident in my choice. Surgery is on Monday and I'm feeling very positive about it. Fingers crossed!

Just a photo of the interim measures. This is me 20 months ago with tear trough fillers and Botox brow lift. It was a great result but not a long term solution.

The kids are both ill. Nothing serious but I have been up for the past two nights - soothing brows, cleaning up vomit, changing bed linen.
I am soooo tired and now my eyes are all puffy. Will he still be able to see the issues clearly?
I really don't want to put this off again. It's already been delayed three times.
And I don't want to go into surgery pissy with my husband for leaving me to do all the night waking.
