Yes, if it is medically necessary. The opthomologist will do what they call a "tape test". They test your eyes as they are, then test with the lids taped up to mainly test your peripheral vision as far as I understand. I didn't to that, but I did ask about it. Call the cosmetic surgeon's office (ask for Suzanne) and I think they can give you a type of "prescription" for the test. Best of luck!

No longer than a week for me. If you can wear a turtleneck, you're fine. If not, what little bruising you may have is easily covered. I only had a line of bruising where my neck & chin meet & it really healed fast. Good luck, you'll be thrilled!!

Thanks for the comment. I'm about 9 weeks out now and look like I never had surgery. My eyes look exactly like I had hoped they would. If you are even considering it, go for it! You'll be glad you did. I'll be happy to answer any questions that may help you along the way.

Good luck to you as well. It goes by fast. You will see daily changes, some days better, sometimes worse. Just wear the compression garment and do some massage after about a week or so. Everything evens out & gets more consistent after 2 or 3 weeks. Just a note...the more you lean your head forward, the more swelling you will see. I still get swelling when I'm gardening. I just take a break and sit back for a little while, do some massage for a couple of minutes, and everything goes back to normal.
