Just under 2 weeks and I'm feeling pretty good. There's still a little redness on my eyeballs, most of not all of the swelling is gone. I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. I'm just waiting for the doctor tells me I can get back to physical activity now. Tomorrow is my follow up appointment. I'll update again with his comments on my recovery.

Ok so it's been 4 days and the results are pretty shocking. It looks like I never had puffy eyes at all! I'm so relieved and happy. My eyes are still a little bloodshot, but I have no brusing or any other side affects of the surgery. And to think it's only going to get better as the weeks go by leaves me...speechless. I'll include another photo with this post, and I'll probably just update weekly now.

Sleepless_nyc, Your eyes look great! I'm so happy for you! Whenever someone posts before having surgery I get really nervous for them because so many of us have had horror stories. I've been thinking about you and am so thrilled and relieved that your eyes look good. You probably have residual swelling, which will be totally gone by three weeks or so. But your lower lid position looks great and you don't appear to have any sagging, so I think you'll be fine in the long-run. Congratulations!
Thanks so much for your kind words. Yes, I've read some of the horror stories and it really had my quite worried the evening before surgery. I woke up the next morning and kept a positive outlook though the op and now during the healing and the results are coming along nicely. I can't wait to go dancing again!
WOW you look really nice and just 4 days post- op. It is my understanding that your results will continue to get better as you heal. Sooo happy for you. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the well wishes!
YOu look great at day 4! Wow! Did you have lowers only done? Did they go in from the inside of your eye?
I am having my upper and lowers done in 3 weeks...... A little nervous as it is my face, know what i mean?
I only had my lowers done as well as that vampire facial. I'm sorry I forget the medical term. lol. Thanks for the kudos. My healing is going great. My eyeballs are still a bit red. I'm assuming this will fad over the next week.
I was very nervous as well. Just make sure you research your surgeon. Mine was board certified.
How did you decide on Dr Prasad? He has multiple videos on you tube and presents himself well. Were you referred?
Morning Blep444, I was not referred. I initially found Dr. Prasad though a basic Google search. I then searched and couldn't find any bad reviews on him. That was enough to get me to go in for a consultation. He's warm, inviting, and very confident (so much so that it honestly scared me and came across to me as nonchalant upon my entire time with him). But as well as my surgery and healing is going his confidence is understandable. lol
He's also dual board certified. I'll admit I don't understand this as well as I should have. Some board certifications are more important than others. I believe there's one board certification by the Board of Plastic Surgeons or something to that effect and he has that one.
Thank you. I'm glad things are going well. Anxious to see you new pics!
Awesome!

*yawn* after a little over 24 hours of laying on my back and icing my face I have very little swelling, but my eyes look a little droopy. I've avoided sunlight, I'm keeping my apartment pretty dark, and when I need to look at my mobile phone or laptop I put my dark sunglasses on and keep the usage very brief. I'll add 2 more photos to my review.
