$2,700
Hated the ageing bags under my eyes, after consultation my PS advised me to have both upper and lower blephoraplasty. I didn't really feel I needed upper eyelid surgery! I would have had this procedure done in Australia but it was twice the cost I paid. The experience has not been pleasant as a result of poor communication and consultation from my Dr. I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with the result as it's still too early to say.

My upper and lower blephoraplasty experience
Well it's been 9 days after surgery, still have som swelling and bruising. I'm really disappointed with a slant on my left eye and feel I can't completely open it. My PL Dr Faizal Anwar from Kuala Lumpur assures me that it will be fine and he's satisfied with the surgery results. I'm not convinced, perhaps I'm being a little inpatient.

You need to give it months and months before you judge the results- have patience! The first couple weeks can be rough mentally because you feel healed up but you will still have swelling.
I think you might find this Q&A interesting- specifically the answer from Dr. Lepore:

Thanks Jill, perhaps I am being a little impatient but so worried that the slant in my left eye will be permanent.

It is totally normal to be worried about EVERYTHING post-op ;)
The truth is, your eyes will change day by day so don't get too worried just yet. Each eye heals independently from the other because each eye had a different surgery experience. Your left eye may have just experienced more trauma than your right. In a couple months you will have a better idea.
I see you've found some support from the other eyelid alumni- they will help you get through the emotional rollercoaster.

Yes I agree I do like your comments Jill, and yes awoke today and the left eye is not looking so slant at all today. Small milestone in the scheme of things.

Yay.....as the muscles tighten and the nerves regenerate I'm sure it will straighten up .

Hi. You are going through the " what the hell have I done" and "how could I have let this doc do this to me" phase. It's normal.
I had upper and lower and laser on lower. I'm three months out and still have swelling. But only I notice it........people, including my husband, stopped noticing after two weeks. Be patient, rest and try not too look all day every day. Jill is right.

Thanks Cassandra for giving me some faith that I haven't made the wrong decision.

Check out my posts. I had some horrors. Lumps bumps, blurry vision , allergies. It's way too early to be upset. Worrying is normal. Have faith in surgeon ....for the moment. For 9 days out you look good. This is big surgery at 49.

11 days on and still bruised
Well it's been 11 days post surgery and wanted to go out for a bit. Attempted to camoflouge the bruises with some makeup, so this photo probably makes me look better. Still feeling I'm having problems with left eye, skin fold on this eye is not sitting right and am really worried that the little lump sitting on lower left side of left eye. This really is my problematic one. Despite that still also have some swelling under eye and still slightly bruised. Going to have a few drinks tonight as I have just turned 50. Am really trying to resist the dreaded ageing process!
