For about 5 years or more now, I have wanted this surgery. Most would say, "it's not that bad", but to me I hated it and I had to see it everyday. Bags under the eyes run in my family, so I knew that it would get worse. I decided to see a surgeon and decided to do it! My surgery was June 7th, 2012 and I am 4 weeks post op. Very thrilled with my results and do not regret it at all! All went well. Surgery was about 2 hours, (I also had my left ear lobe fixed where I had a tare and my ear ring hole was too big) Healing of eyes was fast and bruising went away sooner that I thought it would. I did get Chemosis in my right eye. It is irritation and prolonged edema of the white part of the eye. Fluid builds up in the lining of the eye and protrudes some. I was prescribed steroid drops and its cleared in about 15 days. I have to say, it's so nice not to have to see the bags anymore or to have to worry about wether people were looking at them. I'm so happy with result! I was out of work for two weeks due to my job I do. First week spend with ice on eyes. Second week was much better. Best of luck to anyone getting it done. Be sure to check your doctor before having the surgery to be sure you have a good one.

Great review?

My rating:
The doctor and staff were fantastic. Would recommend Lovette to anyone needing any plastic surgery. I was referred to this doctor by two family members who talked highly of all the staff and doctors there. Would go back to Lovette for any surgery needed!

I had my surgery on Tuesday morning at 8am, and I'm on day 3.
I'm so excited by your results; I just turned 40 and this is my gift to myself.
wow great results. Not feeling good about ourselves suck in any way. I am a firm believer if it is bugging you do something but do your research. I also had hereditary fat pockets and at age 42 I had them removed. I felt so good. Like you
Now age 60 my fat pockets still gone but everything has fallen with jowls. turkey neck and mudflap eyelids . Also loss of volume.
So off I went again to Cancun this time as I just couldnt afford Canada. Excellent results for a facelift. Superior doctor and private hospital.
So when you get to this age there are options and I didnt want fillers as they dont last that long. Also something permanent that would take me back 15years.
Just wondering what is the bandage across the bridge of your nose?
Gosh, that awesome you still dont have any fat under eyes after all that time. I understand that they wont return, so I'm thrilled about that. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on your surgery, Tina. You look fabulous!

I can't wait for the day when my bags are gone. I dread looking in the mirror. People ask me "are you ok?" for no reason. I just can't find a doctor I feel confident with. I don't know how anyone who has had plastic surgery, so how do you really tell if the doctor is good? One doctor I consulted with, who has a great reputation, reeked of alcohol (liquor). I found one doctor I really liked, but read 1 very bad review online. I sure wish I knew some people locally who have had this done.
But back to you! ;) You look great, and I'm glad you're happy with your results! Congratulations
