WORTH IT
After a hugely successful tummy tuck in January 2011 I had no hesitation whatsoever in contacting Dr Fara to discuss blepharoplasty.
The procedure was just as expected, my eyes were covered with dressings, changed regularly, and an hour later 8 was driven home. I continued using iced water towels, rested and felt no discomfort and certainly no pain. Dr Fara called to check that all was well.
Over the days I followed a protein diet, as Dr Fara suggested, drank lots of water and took vitamin C tablets, all to help my swift recovery. I spent a few days at a resort but stayed out of the sun and away from the beach, but relaxed and enjoyed the fresh air and felt fine.
Over the weeks the stitches dissolved, slower than I expected and the bruising subsided and by the end of 6 months my eyes looked normal. Bearing in mind I was 65 years old and the recovery takes longer it was a perfect result.
Week by week:
1 lots of stitches intact, bruising coming out- wore sunglasses all of the time when out!!!
2 still looked as though I had had a big fight and most black stitches were visible.
3 most stitches by now had dissolved and eyes were less red.
4 just corner stitches left.
5 little redness around eyes due to sensitive skin.
6 new me!! Eyes more open, look more alert and under eyes are smoother.
1 year later:
My eyes look great. If I am very tired they become red, but just looks as though I am wearing eye shadow, so no problem!
Conclusion:
I am thrilled with my new look. My face looks fresher, eyes wider and a younger look.
Another wonderful piece of magic.
Thank you Dr Fara.
Thank you also to the wonderful and supporting staff.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience and timeline! Do you still have the white lines were the incisions were? I still have those (five months out).
Just be patient!
