Lower Bleph Didn't Meet my High Expectations

I had a lower bleph at the same time as rhinoplasty, BA, and lipo. My extreme makeover!

It’s hard to judge the pain because of everything I had done and I was miserable but I doubt that was because of the bleph. Around my eyes after the surgery I had swelling and I did bruise pretty bad too. As the swelling went down I knew this was the time to see the results and I can - sort of.

The bleph wasn’t everything I thought it would be. I had pretty bad bags under my eyes and I would say they’re not there as much but they are still there and obvious to me. I am glad that you can’t see any scars, not even pinpoints, but I can still see prominent bags. I might be analyzing too closely but that’s how I feel. I don’t think this is a great result.

I am probably expecting too much from this because in the same span of time my breasts went from modest to massive and I am so happy with that; I want that happiness for all of my procedures but that’s probably unrealistic.

I am glad I had it done though. All of the pain from all of the procedures will be worth it when I am back to 100%. I’m only a month into the recovery so there is still a chance things will get better. I can also go back and have more fat taken from under my eyes, and I’d be happier doing that than having to go back and get fat injections because I came out looking like a starving, sleep-deprived person with big hollows. I don’t think I’ll do that though. I’ll take what I’ve got now. (See my other reviews for thoughts on my other procedures)

Great review?
