Blepharoplasty - Sugar Land, TX

Thank you! I hope yours turns out as well. It was SO worth it!

Absolutely, do your research or get a recommendation. I also had a breast reduction about 20 years ago. Thing is, I did my research for a couple years before I had it done and kept coming back to a specific plastic surgeon so I chose him. It was...awful. I have terrible scars, they're crooked and go up under my arms, I developed a pus filled infection in one of the scars that I found out later can be deadly, literally. I'm too old to get the scars revised and made to look better but I'm still glad I had it done, it's so much more comfortable. The doctor that did my eyes, if I never wanted to do anything else, I'd definitely use him again.

Yes, only an upper Bleph. I should have probably done lowers and an eyebrow lift but just didn't want to go overboard or, have that look of surprise from an overdone eyebrow lift. I wanted to look as natural as possible. We've all seen women, and they're all over the TV, that have had an obvious facelift, or lip injections. It just looks like older women trying to look younger and it just doesn't work. I'd love to find out who did the work on Jane Fonda, at 77, she looks fantastic without showing any obvious signs of having had work done.

Yes, I think we all end up looking older than we truly feel inside. It's so hard to look in the mirror and wonder, who is that aged person looking back Me?! I never thought I would" have Work done", but now that I'm seeing the effects of time and sun- I've done 180* degree turn- so much for growing old gracefully- I'm fighting it Tooth and Nail!. However, I. Like most women- don't actually want people to know it. I'm hoping for those comments like, did you change your hair? Have you lost weight? You look great! In other words me, but improved, fresher, rejuvenated me! Like your results!

Dear dsweetwalsh, congratulations, you did it! I hope you are as thrilled with the end result as I am. I can't believe it will already be a year in April since I had the surgery. Seems just the other day, I was impatiently counting down the 3 weeks till the surgery. My how time flies when we get on the other side of 50+. I decided to create this blog for other women to get an idea what they can expect. I explored the internet myself, before my surgery, but never found anything quite like this, progressive photo's of a real person, not some doctor's website with photo's. Thanks for stopping by, let me know how it goes for you! :-)

Hi dsweetwalsch, how's your recovery so far? Just
Like your First post, I was 2 days post suture bleph for upper eyelid only, and I'm feeling so uncertain and disturbed..

You look great--what a good result. did you use anything to keep the scars moist-or artificial tears for longer than the first couple of weeks? Thanks

Actually I used Arnica, which is a natural remedy, I used the cream around my eyes to help with redness and swelling and I also took the Arnica tablets that dissolve under your tongue. I also had an ointment the doc prescribed in the very beginning. It's been over a year now and I'm having a hard time remembering the details! I do not regret it at all and no one would guess I've had this surgery. I bought the Arnica at Whole Foods but you can find it other places as well. I don't think I used anything like eye drops. My scars are barely visible to the naked eye, they're flat and slightly lighter but honestly you just can't see them, they hide in your natural skin folds anyway. I still use a cover/concealing cream on my lids, as they are still a little pink.
