After a lifetime of questions about whether I was "tired", "upset", "allergic", or any of the other reasons for under-eye bags, I finally decided 2 weeks ago to have transconjunctival blepharoplasty . I really thought that when my ocu-ps said I'd be ready to return to work after 5-7 days, I thought I'd be good as new. Boy, was I wrong!! Is it me, or were you under the impression that this was an in-and-out pain-free good as new in a week surgery? I knew that there was swelling and bruising but I was hoping to look like myself in a week or two - not a YEAR!
