I had my lower lids done 9 days ago by Dr. Will at Burt & Will Plastic Surgery in Plainfield, IL. Every time I looked in the mirror, all I saw were huge under eye bags. They run in the family. They didn't get bad until around the time I turned 40. I will be getting married in July and couldn't bear the thought of staring at my bags in my wedding pictures. I am AMAZED at what a difference it has made, and I'm not even completely healed. Now when I look in the mirror, I can't help but smile. I see no bags, no big purple bags. The procedure was quick and painless as well!

Very little pain throughout even though it doesn't look good the day of.

Wow! Your eyes look really good!

Wow you are looking great for only a couple weeks out! Don't worry if you see some swelling and small bags over the next few months, those will go away. How is everything going?

Thank you so much! I do notice a little on and off swelling and darkness. It's good to know it will go away. I still have a little bruise under my left eye but I am doing and feeling great! Thank you!!

i'm 49 and like you and dealing with hereditary bags!! I hate them. Can you tell me how long your surgery was and if you had to take any time off. Because of job circumstances I don't live with my family during the week. Is this something I could get done and on purpose don't go home for two weeks and then my husband wouldn't find out?? I know I know my bad!!!! He would flip if he knew but I have a little secret stash and want this done big-time

Yes! It took 2 weeks or a little over to heal. I had a small bruise left over.

Was the incision on the inside (transconjuctival) or outside? You look great even post op!

She lasered the inside to pull the bags out and cut the extra skin off the outside.

Looking good, sugarmonkey! Like you, I'm in my early 40's (will be 42 at the end of Feb) and am eager to do both upper and lower, but esp the bags in my lower eyes. You do, indeed, look absolutely GREAT -- only you can see the slight bruise, b/c it doesn't show at all. You give me hope and inspiration! :-)

Thank you! The bruise that's left is more noticeable in person - even I can't see it in the picture. If you live I IL, I strongly suggest Dr. Will. She's wonderful and the incisions under my eyelids are so much better than some I've seen on here. She got close enough to the lash line. Best of luck to you!

Your eyes look fantastic! I'm so glad you did it and don't have to deal with the bags anymore!!

Thank you Megan! I am so thrilled with the outcome! I'm getting married in July, and I know I would just dread seeing bags in all of my wedding photos.

I just saw dr. Will today and thinking about proceeding with lower eye bag removal. Did you do the surgery in office? I'm scared of being awake. How long before you were completely healed?
