Post op six months from upper and lower bleph, fat repositioning, skin pinch and muscle tightening. I still have noticeable tear troughs/. I look almost identical to my pre op pics when compared. I still look tired and am embarrassed as there are little fat bulges where he repositioned the fat on my lower lids.
