Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty with Endoscopic Brow Lift - Raleigh, NC

$9,800
My upper lids were starting to get droopy and I had a pronounced bulge under my right eye. I am 47 and work in sales and need to look my best. I had 4 weeks off and decided to have the blepharoplasty done. My surgeon insisted on doing a conservative brow lift. He explained that doing the bleph pulls the lid and brow down. He showed me photos of the blepharospasm w/out the brow lift and it made sense. I am one day after surgery and looking mighty ugly. I will be patient and keep updating.

2 days after surgery. Looking scary. Yes I am questioning my decision. Yes, I will be patient.

I guess you will be looking great after a month by seeing you now. In my opinion, brow lift might not be necessary.

Thanks. Any encouragement is most welcome. I agree about the brow lift. My PS explained it is more "anchoring" than lifting.

My eyes have opened up a little. My son says I now look like Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad after hank beat him up. I guess that is an improvement?:) Bruises are more pronounced and I still feel loopy.

Hi Ncnetshopper, I think that your results will be great! I'm 42 and one of my consults recommended browlift and canthoplexy. The other four consults said that I was too young but I was still thinking about going with the first guy until I finally met the surgeon that I selected. We're just doing a upper and lower (and rhino), but I'm open to possibly looking into a browlift in the future. Good luck with your recovery and thank you for the review. Please keep us posted.

OH... does the browlift hurt? I hear it's painful? thanks!

I had a dull, thudding headache the first day. It doesn't hurt now. I think I am still loopy from the anesthesia and not having my eyes open all the way.
