49 Year Old - Brow Lift, Blepharoplasty, HALO
ncgirl_2009May 21, 2022
Over the last few years I feel like I always look so tired, in photos you can barely my eyes and it is increasingly difficult to apply eye makeup. During my consult, Dr. Capizzi explained that a blepharoplasty alone would not give me the desired outcome so I decided to add a brow lift as well.
All of the staff at Dr. Capizzi’s office have been professional, knowledgable and very compassionate. They made me feel comfortable whether I was making an appointment, discussing payment or preparing for surgery. The office is always clean and organized.
5-17-22 Surgery day
My surgery was later in the day so I didn't experience a ton of pain as I'm assuming I was still recovering from medication given during surgery. I am sleeping on my back, which I'm not a big fan of, and also with my head a bit elevated. This is supposed to help with swelling. I was a little shocked at how I look, how many stitches I have, etc.
Post-op Day 1
Some swelling is beginning to show up but not too bad. I haven't felt bad today at all.
Post-op Day 2&3
Definitely have more swelling and I haven't felt as good the last few days.I did go in for an appointment and they were pleased with how everything is healing so far. My head is very numb so it's difficult to brush my hair near the incision since I can't really feel where I'm brushing. It's also just a weird feeling but I'm told that's normal.
Post-op Day 4
I am writing this review on post-op day 4. My main complaint today is that my incisions are itching badly so I did take some Benadryl to help. So far I am pleased with my results but I have a long way to go and I'm very concerned about scarring. I will continue giving updates throughout my journey.

Photos right after surgery once I was back home. I wasn’t in too much pain at this point. Incisions are more than l expected but I am hopeful they don't scar too much. I also don't have lot of swelling or bruising at this point. I'm very excited to see how I progress!

How are you doing now? Your eyes look great! Are you still happy? Is your forehead numb?

Thank you!
I just posted an update with new pictures :)
I am feeling much better and mostly concerned about scarring. My forehead isn't really numb but the top of my head is.

I understand those concerns. I have the same fear! I look forward to seeing your journey. I bet the scar will not be noticeable. You look fantastic! Your eyes look so great that no one will be looking at your hairline anyway!!

Feeling much better. Incisions on my eyelids are looking great. I’m still concerned about scarring especially on my forehead. My forehead isn’t really numb but the top of my head into my hair is. I am using Biocornium scar gel twice a day.
I have noticed that my skin is starting to relax some and I was told that would happen. I just hope it doesn’t relax anymore.
