My latest picture! The redness in my eyelid creases is almost gone and my nose continues to get smaller. Again, I know this is not a drastic change but you know how when you see yourself you notice things a lot more than others :)

You look more restful after the upper eye lid surgery. I plan to have a revision rhino and was thinking to have my upper eye lids done at the same time. Then I thought probably would be too much pain for me. But after reading ur story I am motivated to do it at the same time. Now adays my droopy eyes have been bothering me. I just look tired all the time. I thought u were young to have ur upper eye lids done. But also genetics plays a role in this. Well my friend am glad you did it! Thanks a lot for the photos. U look great.

Hi Zooster. You are right about being 'young' for the surgery. When I initially went to see Dr. Hughes, he said I *might* be able to convince him to do an upper bleph, meaning he did think I was on the young side. I'm 1/2 chinese and so I naturally have this hooding which started to get worse and skin above my eye was sort of loose and crepe-y. So essentially Doc said he would remove this excess skin. And also wanted to let you know I never felt any pain in my eyes...it was a complete non issue except for some slight discomfort from time to time. I'm excited for you. The eyes really seem to make such a difference in one's overall look and a lot of bang for the buck in terms of the surgery cost/recovery :) Good luck to you!

Adding a side by side comparison shot so you can see subtle difference in nose
This is for you Chantal. Most of the change to my nose was to the width of tip, and also he projected my nose up just a bit as well. My nose was by no means a disaster before, but over time it just seemed to look not cute as it did when I was younger. Some people claim that their nose seems to continue to grow, and that was what it seemed like for me. In the end, it's actually gravity just taking hold and makes your nose droop. I can't find a profile pic of before so I am looking, however, I don't even think I mentioned any concern in my profile to the doc. My objective was the bulbous-ness from the front. But, from the profile side it must look a little different because he did lift the tip so that is probably the main difference. I'll keep looking for a profile pic :)
You look beautiful! Thank you for sharing your experience. :)
