“Very happy overall”

Eyelid Surgery: Worth it

Cost: $3,500
Pain: Painfree

I had a lower bleph at 25, undereye bags run in my family and i was sick of people telling me i should get more sleep and having to wear a heavy duty concealer (which still didn't make a huge difference as anyone with undereye bags knows).

I had a laser bleph with laser resurfacing. I was asleep and it took about an hour. My friend drove me home and I was housebound for four days including the day of the operation because of the bruising (which i avoided looking at bc i knew i would look hideous). There wasn't a lot of pain.

Overall I am very happy with the final result. One of my eyes is perfect and looks fantastic the other eye has had a bit too much fat taken out so it is slightly hollow (just a teeny bit and not really noticeable). But overall I am very happy, my eyes and whole face looks far better than before. I now only wear a light concealer to cover dark circles which are still there but nowhere near as bad.

I did plenty of research and went to an eye surgeon.
