Be cautious about this. It WILL change your appearance. Look at your eyes carefully and ask yourself what it is that you most love about your eyes. Our eyes are our most personal and unique defining feature. Look at pictures of when you were a younger adult and show them to this MD. You want to look similar to your younger YOU rather than having new, unfamiliar eyes. Everything I've just said is my own perfect hindsight. I'm mourning my old eyes as I didn't anticipate what a big change it would be. Best wishes and God's Grace in whatever you decide to do. -Wendy

Wish I could turn back the clock to the eve of 2 weeks ago. I had upper and lower bleph am very upset with the results. No big asymetry disasters but I don't look like myself anymore and miss my beautiful, slightly wrinkled, slightly baggy eyes. (My S.O. isn't thrilled with the outcome,either.)Surgeons should make it a practice to request and study photos of their client's eyes as younger adults rather than do the same generic cut on everyone. I'm trying to be a big girl and learn from this, but frankly, I'm feeling very depressed and can't believe I've done this irreversible thing to myself. Wendy
