I am 42yrs old and 7 days into PO. No Pain at all. My eyelids are going to look great once the swelling is gone. Will take another week or so.
As you can see from my pics I am healing very fast, I am lucky to be able to work from home but if you have to go back to work in a office or so, give yourself 14 days. I went to a Doc who does only eyelid surgery and Face lifts. Nothing else. So try to avoid those doctors who do it all. Have it done by a specialist!

I'm also 42 and had my uppers and lowers done 03/04. Have my 6 week PO check 04/27. At that time I'm going to see about resurfacing my under eyes and possibly entire face. Any info on this? I am totally new to all of this. I do know that after my resurfacing, whatever that may be, I am going to get started with Botox. My younger sister did this last month and the results are remarkable! Congrats on your great results!! Jen

thank you so much for sharing. I'm always amazed how brave everyone is for posting. But your eyes look great and very naturally refreshed. COngrats! I'd like to have mine done but really want a conservative approach - just tissue only. Was muscle and fat removed in your procedure? And were you able to discuss that with you doc? --

tutta, no muscle or fat removed only tissue. I told the Doc to make it look super natural, not to remove too much skin. I went to see 4 doctors before making a decision. And I chose him because I saw his girls working there and they all look like they never had anything done. He was the most expensive one, but when it comes to your EYES it should not matter how much more you have to pay for fab results

Jen, I talked to the ladies in the Doc's office about resurfacing and decided not to do it. I did Botox (which ROCKS!) and Perlane. And I am using Obagi. Obagi works for me.

You look amazing! Did you do the upper and the lower or just the upper? I have a lot of wrinkly skin on the bottom and was wondering if that would get rid of it. How long after the surgery can you start to wear make up?

I only had the uppers done. With the lowers you have to be very careful not to remove too much skin .Other wise you look to hollow. Make up after 10 day. And if you use mascara get the kiss me blinc. It's tubing not mascara. Believe me you DON"T want to rub your eyes for a long time.

be very careful with eyelid surgeries. I wish I can met some of you in person and show you what happen to my eyes. My eyes looks like I am in in my 90's. My mom is 79 and her eyes looks much younger. Not all doctors can do the job and the one I went to messed me up really bad and he acted like he is GOD......... He is a eye doctor that claim to have oculplasty experience. I don't think I can get all those scars he gave me me remove. I got two different size and shape of eyes. If you live in the siliconvalley of california, I can show you my eyes. I was born with double eyelids, but wanted to remove an extra crease. I regret it now.

Hi dimsumjenny, Can you post a picture? I would love to know where you went to have your surgery. I also live in silicon valley and am looking at going for a consultation in Fremont. I think knowing where not to go is as important as knowing where to go. V

I got it done a long time ago when I was living in southern calfiornia. I was such a fool and when to a doctor that had a huge page ad on the los angeles time. He is an eye doctor with one eye of ocularplstic experience. His name is dr. richard a. weiss out of newport beach. be very careful. I am east asian and was born with double eyelid. I had an extra crease on the inner corners of my eyes and didn't like it. Now I wish I didn't let that asshole touch me. I have 2 different size and shape of eyes. I have lots of scars. My crease is really bad..... Are you asian (not indian asian right?).
