I've always had very asymmetric eyelids. It was very visible, so I finally decided to seriously research doctors in my area. In pretty sure everone here knows the drill for this part (reading reviews, cyberstalking lol, cross-checking information, shortlisting surgeons, consultation, decision).
I finally decided on Dr. Vidor after meeting with him in person. He seemed confident in perforing the procedure and was very thorough with his explanation of the results and what my realistic expectations should be. We also discussed under what circumstances the procedure would have to be redone.
My procedure was done yesterday (12/19), in office and with local anesthesia, and I am feeling just fine. Some discomfort and blurry vision, but no pain. I'm very excited to see the final results, but as for now here are the photos!!

I feel absolutely no pain, only discomfort. I only take a Tylenol at bed time, but during the day only ice for 15 min every two hours. I already notice the difference, even though my eyelids are still very swollen. Excited about the results!

No pain, only discomfort.. The only problem is that resting for this long gets pretty boring, but when I start moving doing things I notice the swelling goes up and the throbbing starts..
I'm super excited to see the final results!!!

Everything looks good so far... I had the stitches removed on day 8, which was nothing. . It only felt a little annoying. The doctor said everything looks fine, and that I should suspend the use of the ointment for a couple days to ensure the suture will close. I will see him again in one week to ensure I'm healing okay.

The scars are visible, but I am very happy with the results. Definitely wish scars were not so pronounced.

Even though my scars have not healed completely yet, I'm very happy with the decision of getting this procedure done.. I saw my official "before" photo recently, and the improvement is incredible, although no one has noticed enough to ask if I've done anything. All I hear is how I look refreshed, which is light years from the typical "you look so tired" of before... :)

Still very happy with the improvement on my looks... I specifically love that people haven't mentioned anything about a procedure, only that I look rested..
The only concern I have is with tiny little bumps that I got on both incisions.. I saw my doc yesterday and he injected some steroid meds to accelerate the healing process.
