Would Do It Again in a Heartbeat

Worth It
Spent: $6,000 in New York, NY

If I had known it was so easy I would have done it sooner. Worth every penny. I love the results and it was much less painful and less of a nuisance than I expected. I had initially gone for just the lower lids (bags run in the family) and my surgeon suggested that I do the uppers as well since they would be more noticeable when the lowers were done. He was right. Even though I was prescribed some pain killers (Vicoden), they were unnecessary. I think I took 1 but probably could have taken a Tylenol. I remember my doctor telling me that I'd be able to go out to lunch in about a week and I didn't believe him - he was right on that one too. Only thing - you have to get used to sleeping on your back for a while, which is good for wrinkles anyway! Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Hi Martha, Im in the NYC area and was wondering what type of bleph you had - was it laser? It seems like you had a really amazing recovery time! How was the bruising and everything? Thanks!
