Very Happy with Eyelid Surgery

I've had two Fraxel treatments) that is th name of the machine. I swear by them. They are ususualy brown sun sports and raised mole on your face. It's wonderful! It almost cloased my pores amd realy digitially improved my face. Today I had Eylid (uppers) done and i's going to take a little longer to hSearl. Buy will keep you posted. Rescue

Hi Sharon, where did you get your fraxel laser treatment done? I’m looking to have the same treatment done myself.

Obagi? OMG, I am soooo new to this that I have never even heard of this. I had very crepey skin under my eyes prior to the bleph and although it's not as bad now I am still not liking the look when I smile. I want a longer lasting procedure such as laser or chemical peel. But do tell more about Obagi...PLEASE =] Oh, and I am definately sold on Botox after seeing my sister's results.

Hi Jen. I never knew about obagi before going to see my Girl for the Botox. Everyone claims it's by prescription only, which is not true because you can get it on Ebay :)And let me tell you something Obagi at the Doctors office is EXPENSIVE. About $300 - 500 for the starter kit! Ebay $136 factory sealed and authentic. I also got the Day and Night cream, another $45 each and after 21 days I see results that I never saw with any cream before. (And I tried them all, spend lot's of money for lot's of creams.) Even my husband is using it now, he just got his own kit. How cute :) check them out on the internet. What are you using now ?

Thanks so much girlfriend!! I'll check it out! I'll have to admit, my cabinet is stocked full of useless face creams that have produced no visible miracles! lol I'm thinking that once the doctor get me back on track that I'll certainly invest in better creams for daily moisture. Going to schedule an under peel Monday 04/27, then on to Botox. Ain't aging fun! haha I'll post more before and after pics once I get that done.

Jen jen. Let me know how your peel went! I know you will LOVE Botox! It's awesome! I am waiting for Reloxin to be approved here in the USA. In Europe (where I am from, that's why my English writing is so funky) Everyone is using Reloxin and not Botox. Reloxin works faster and lasts longer. Once it's approved here, the prices for both of them will come way down. (good for us :) ) You know Jen, I do admire Women who embrace their wrinkles. I really do! But I am not the kind Girl who is looking in the mirror in the morning and just soooooo looooooves to smear her favorite eyeshadow into her sagging eyelids and listening to her butt deflating and her boobs slooooowly dropping to the floor. Lol! Maybe at 60. but not at 42. So Botox and fillers Rock for now :) Keep me posted on your peel and Botox. Talk to you soon

OK girl, getting my chem peel tomorrow 04/29. The doc tells me the recovery will be WORSE than my Bleph...ugggh!!! I'm apprehensive, but hopeful it will help. And I hear ya about everything drooping, droping, sagging...BLAH! lol

Hi, there...could you please tell me what Obagi products you use. There are so many I don't know where to begin. It helped your under eye crepiness?? Thanks.

Hi Jen-Jen: I was wondering how your chemical peel went? I had an upper bleph done almost three months ago. I'm unhappy with the results but up till now my PS insisted I had to wait 6 months to see a full result. Now she tells me I can have a peel to tighten the skin because it still looks creepy! I too am a little scared of the procedure, if you can give me soom insight I would greatly appreciate it!

Obagi is very good but don't keep using it after one year. It will start to thin out your skin. I switched to nerium from obagi.

Hi Renee, I posted some info and pics regarding my peel. Look under Chemical Peel or Phenol Peel to read and see more.

Hi Vallee, I haven't been to this site for a long time. I did my upper lid surgery with Dr Eric Okamoto in Fremont in Jan 2009 and I'm very satisfied with the result.
