Lower Blepharoplasty - Des Moines, IA

No i did not. He wanted to try this 1st because he knew only about 20% would remain. He has been very conservative which i'm grateful for. I think he feels the Right eye should go down some after 3 months which will be in Nov. Its Nov 1st and things seem to be the same. he said to call in a few weeks and well go from there. I just wish each side matched. I do think the left eye seems more natural, but the right eye has covered the tear trough completely, but yet has the red shadow (which has gotten better) . I just dont know what to expect next. But i do remember he said he wanted to do this conservatively because only about 20% of collagen will (form/remain) and he cant remove it.

i didnt have bleph surgery, i had the radiesse shots on 7-11-12

hi and thanks for the info. i plan to have radiesse filler injected in cheek area which my dr, says will help the line between lower lid and cheek. plus he says its helps your own body produce collagen over time. he says that it should take about 2 or 3 injections. a little at a time, esp. on left since that tear trough isnt as bad. i have appt set up in mid july. wish me luck. thanks for the support.

Its almost been 4mo's post op and things are getting better. The little dents i had were due to cortizone shots he gave me for swelling a month after surgery. He said they will go away on there own and they are looking better than they did. Honestly if your only 3wks out you have a ways to go. I know its hard to be patient because you see your eyes everyday, but they will get better. You probably still have bruising which can last for 4 to 6 months. things should lighten up and change a lot from what they are now. You have to wait until 6 mo's anyway before any corrections can be made. So hang in there, you might not need anything once everything has healed.
