Went out of country to have this done. my eyes are still a little blurry and I had and extra procedure I still am unsure of. something to make eyelids flare upwards. This is causing a great deal of discomfort and stretching the skin I noticed a line is making it's way across the nose to compensate for tightness.

Now I am back in USA without support or aftercare. I really want sutures out. The procedure was scary and my vision has been a little more blurry. before that i had such huge excess skin so it was something needed. unfortunate i had to leave country to afford it.

Great review?

Given your experience, I was intrigued how you concluded the bleph experience was "worth it". Is this because you're still waiting on final results?
