Long Awaited Upper and Lower Eye Lid Surgery - Toms River, NJ

Well, it's certainly been a roller coaster ride. I do believe the 'sags' under my eyes have improved tremendously. I tried to show a comparison. All pictures are post op!!! Yes! My upper and lowers were done November 11, 2014. The sagging pics were at 6 weeks post op compared to today's that are 11 weeks post op. I tried to wait until 12 weeks but just was so excited that the various creams I've been using have helped without a doubt....along with sleeping on my back, drinking 16 oz. of water immediately upon waking up and staying hydrated all day (64+ oz.), exercise (walking), taking Vitamin C, eating clean, cutting out coffee replaced with green tea and blueberries (antioxidants) along with olive oil (2 tsp. a day) and salmon for omega 3. I'm still on my high horse about Retin A which I'm getting a script for in 2 weeks from my surgeon. Also, some fun experimental serums (Vitamin C) and other interesting stuff. Will review at a later date as soon as I figure out how to use it all. haha But, for now, more then pleased about my bags (pre op) that turned into sags (post op). I feel so much better...inside and out! Plus, today was a good hair day. Who could ask for anything more!!! Okay, maybe a mini face lift! I know....never happy!

I saw a friend yesterday who I haven't seen since my surgery. She looked at me with surprise and as she took her hand and encircled her face with it, she told me that I look different. Did I have "work" done? But, she wasn't just talking about my eyes. She was talking about my overall look. I told her I had my eyelids done! She went on and on about how wonderful I look and that my face is so bright and there is such a difference. I think it's not only my eyes but also my skin care regimen that I have been keeping up with.

Now, this brings me to my question. I have another friend who is selling the Rodan + Fields skin care line. I did see the results first hand with a receptionist at my doctor's office. She used the eye cream on one eye and not the other and the results were amazing after 2 weeks. So, just wondered about your thoughts about this line. Has anyone used their products????

These are the different creams I've been using for my under eye sagging. What ever mood I seem to be in, is the one I pick and use. I really glob it on at night and am sleeping on my back. Did you know that you're NOT supposed to sleep on your face??? It causes wrinkles! Well, that's what I read, anyway! Don't know how true it is, but I'm doing it. It did take some getting used to since I'm an 'on my side' sleeper. Also, switched from coffee (It's supposed to be worst thing you could drink) to green tea for it's antioxidants and lots of blueberries too! Just started today taking Vitamin C and tomorrow I go the my doctor and plan to tackle him to the ground for a script for retin A!!! lol On another note, I was wondering if anyone has heard of or used Rosen and Field Cosmetics/Creams??? A woman in my doctor's office has had unbelievable results with it. I know it's expensive and if I didn't see the actual results, I wouldn't have believed it. She did one side of her face for 2 weeks to actually compare and see for herself. The darn stuff WORKS!!! She had lines and crows feet on one side of her face and NONE on the other!!! Well, I'll be!!!
