I am 5 days into my recovery from upper eyelid blepharoplasty. My reason for having this procedure was droopiness. I am 47 years old and felt like my appearance was tired and when I actually was tired, it was even worse. Botox wasn't getting the job done anymore so I started consulting and decided to proceed. So far so good.

Thank you for your post. I just had my consult today and scheduled for the 24th. For 5 day you look amazing! How long did you take off for work? Is the outcome so far what you expected? How would you rate the pain level after? Thank you so much and please keep us posted :)

I am a stay at home mother of two so I didn't take time off :)..... Fortunately, the recovery did not really prevent me from going on with normal life, except for working out. Sunglasses were really all I needed, and a hat if in direct sunlight or for night time outings where i could not wear sunglasses, just pulled the brim down over my eyes and no one noticed.
Really no pain whatsoever, just some itching and tightness. Soreness to touch but really no need to touch so not an issue. So far, except for when I look in the mirror, I am Feeling normal for the most part. I recoommend sleeping with head very elevated (which I did not because i cannot sleep sitting up) so i do wake withnswollen upper and lower lids. Ice brings down the swelling but it's a pain so if you can, sleep sitting up.
That's all for now......my best advice is don't look in the mirror too much and sleep head elevated and you should be good.
Good luck!

Good luck ladies (and gents). As long as you did your research and choose the right doc, you should be happy with this procedure. I have no regrets and feel like I look 10 years younger or more. VERY GOOD DECISION!!!

I just had ptsois surgery 4 days ago on my right eye, and it is healing, but I'm wondering if what looks like a wrinkle above the stitches is swelling versus a wrinkle (lol). I hope it's swelling that will go down in the next several days. I get my stitches out in 3 days. I had some growths removed from the left eye lid at the same time and it looks like I've been in a fight or competing with Alice Cooper for makeup! ha! When will all of this look semi normal again? Any thoughts?

Optimistic, just checking in, some how missed your post. How are you healing. I did have a few wrinkles above my sutures that are smoothing out gradually. You will probably see that as well.
