I know it's ridiculous, however I have great concern regarding people knowing if I get surgery. My family is very, very conservative and would frown upon my decision. I also work at a very gossipy place where everyone is in everyone's business. I know this is my choice, however I'm having much trouble with this. I would like so much to take away this tired look I have, yet if things don't go well, ill be ruined. How do I deal with all this anxiety and is this common?
Answer: Blepharoplasty The goal of blepharoplasty is to only remove the redundant skin and fat and add fat in the hollowed areas. If the fat is removed too much from the upper eyelids the change becomes noticeable. With the contemporary techniques we avoid too much change. You should discuss your concerns with an experience board certified plastic surgeons.

Answer: The art of plastic surgery The art of plastic surgery comes from producing a beautiful and natural looking result. Once something looks "done" a lot of the attraction is lost. With that being said, a nice blepharoplasty should be imperceptible to strangers, but it is likely that your close friends or family would notice.

Answer: Cosmetic facial surgery and natural results. Hello and thank you for sharing this all too important question.Number one concern for anyone having facial cosmetic surgery is looking like too much was done and having other people know they had surgery.If you choose an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, this should not occur. The most important goal is to have a natural result. Nothing matters more, not even how long the results will last. You should ask each physician you interview to allow them to see their results on the procedures you desire. Maybe ask if some recent former patients would talk with you to get their opinions as well.Check the local state medical board on those physicians you are considering to see if there have been any complaints as well.There are many excellent plastic surgeons who will give you the natural result so no one, not even family members, would know.

Answer: Embarrassed about getting eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) Thank you for sharing your concerns. Most patients have the anxiety you express. Everyone asks how long do they need to stay out of work for it not to look like they had surgery. Typically, recovery takes 2 weeks. In order to achieve natural looking results, it is important that the doctor slightly under correct the problem. See an experienced, board-certified Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment plan.Good luck,

Answer: Surgery Thank you for sharing your concerns on having surgery. This is a very common feeling for patients. The post op recovery for upper blepharoplasty will be most noticeable in the first 2-3 weeks with bruising and swelling. You can conceal the area with wide rimmed glasses if you choose. Best of luck.
