Your eyes look great! :)
Wow...your eyes look great! I'm getting mines done in 2 weeks and I'm so scared of the results and trying to get back to work in 10 days after surgery. Yikes! How did your eyes look after 10 days?
Thank you! After 10 days, most of my swelling had gone down, so I looked normal for the most part. I'm sure you can return to work in 10 days without anyone suspecting anything. Good luck with your surgery!!!
I am so impressed with how you look that, I'm almost speechless. I'm so interested to get my eyes done but I'm not sure if I can spend a week in Tx. I'm happy for you to find this amazing dr that worked with you until you got this amazing result. And there seems to be no sign of incision. He's fantastic. Thank you for sharing your story and pics with us.
Thank you very much! I feel so lucky to have found my doctor. Yes, you are correct that there are no signs of an incision. Dr. B has a special method of sewing the sutures underneath the skin so that the scar is not noticeable when it heals.
Hi again...so I had mines done 11 days ago and I already feel like I need a revision done! Especially on my right eye. The scar is kinda bad and lumpy and my lid is not drapping over. Which is not good because it doesn't hid the scar. I told my dr. about it and he keeps telling me that theres alot of swelling still. The incision on my left has a nice straight line so it looks nice. Ether way, it think there's still alot of skin that needs to be removed and I wanted a semi-epicanthoplasty, but he did a tapered look. Not sure I like my eyes very much:( I'm envying yours though. Your eyes look perfect!
Thank you. I'm sorry that you are not feeling happy with your results so far. My doctor told me that swelling can last for up to 6 months, so you may have to wait longer to see how your final results will look. My eyelids healed unevenly for a few weeks, but eventually they caught up with each other.
Hi there, I had similar problem. Hooding on my upper eyelids. You should be glad your doctor was conservative. My eyes are still settling but I feel you my PS took too much skin. Your revision looks fantastic!
Hi Sunshine555, sorry to hear that your experience didn't go too well. I, too, am glad that my doctor is conservative. Every time I go to any Asian place (store, restaurant, etc.), I see the older ladies with their obvious eyelid jobs and am thankful that mine doesn't scream "she had plastic surgery!". I hope yours get better as time goes on.

Updated w/ my 6 week post revision pics. For some reason a little over three weeks ago, I had a problem with my left eye again (what is it with my left eyelid???)...it became itchy and swollen. I think it may have been due to my using mascara again or a new makeup remover, but I gave it a couple of days and it didn't get any better. So I contacted Nicole, and Dr. B was able to see me almost immediately. He suspected it was an infection and prescribed me some antibiotics. Problem fixed. :)

you look amazing! are you still happy w/ the results now that it's been almost a year? have you noticed further changes during the last year? thanks!
thank you! well, it's been only 2.5 months since i had my revision surgery, and i am happy with the results so far. i'll try to remember to update my review at 6 months post revision.

I had my revision done on 6/05/12. I'll update this review in about 6 weeks. One thing hasn't changed, though...I still think that Dr. B is the BEST surgeon out there! :)

How was your surgery? Pics please :-)
thank you for asking...the surgery went well and was pain-free as usual. i don't know how dr. b does it, but he is such a professional at pain management! recovery-wise...both of my eyes were super swollen this time (think of rocky balboa at the end of one of his fights where his eyes are swollen shut, but minus the bruising). my kids told me i looked like an alien (thanks, kids...haha!). but to be fair to dr. b, i will wait until my eyelids are more settled to post updated pics. :) how is your recovery coming along?
I absolutely agree with you regarding the pain free post surgery. My recovery has been great although my crease is becoming lower than what i would have like as the swelling subsides. I can't wait to see your photos!
I agree
