I had upper and lower bleph 2 years ago. I had fat pads under my eyes as well has slight hooding on the upper lid. It has taken 10 years off my appearance. I always looked tired no matter what I did. I did have to have my upper lids repeated 1 year later related to extra skin above one eye. My surgeon is more conservative and would rather have to go back (no charge) and revise than take too much skin off. I did have to be off work for 1 week for the first surgery. I had severe brusing and swelling. I am very fair and do bruise easily. It was done under local with 10 mg po valium pre-op. I did not have to take any prescribed pain meds. When I had my revision last year I opted for no valium and drove myself home. I thought the discomfort was minimal. I do believe if you can only afford one procedure, this would be the one to have done.
