Eyelid Lift Just One Week Ago~ Couldn't Be Happier - Austin, TX

WOW! What a difference! Your PS did a terrific job -- subtle & natural-looking change with a very dramatic effect! You look absolutely awesome! :-)

Wow! Did he just remove extra skin?

I agree with JP......You look great. I'm having mine done this day next week. Can't wait. I pray I'm as fortunate as you.

WOW, you look great. Am having mine done in 2 weeks. Any advise for the swelling and bruising? I would appreciate any and all advise that I can get.

My BIG advice would be to make sure you buy Lacrilube (heavy duty eye moisturizer - more like ophthalmic ointment in a tube) at same time you pick up post-op meds- Before you even get home, have it ready. All the best eye drops can't compare to the relief you get from the ointment. For me, Dry Eyes for first few days - and sleeping propped Up bugged me much more than the pain of the sutures. . And really, discomfort is a better word than pain. (Childbirth is pain - eyelids are just discomfort ..) I took the pain medicine mostly just to help me sleep - and be aware that 2nd or 3rd day are little worse than 1st day- so just be prepared. It doesn't mean anything is wrong - just part of the healing process. Only other thing I hadn't really thought about was that with swelling and bruising and tenderness and ointment, I was more bored than I anticipated. I thought I was going to just play on my IPad and read magazines in the bed for 2-3 days, like a little spa treat - but I guess I hadn't thought it through. You will probably be better with some books on tape, great music or movies for first 1-3 days. After that, home free. Best of luck Everyone! I can't Imagine ANYoNE regretting this surgery- As far as other people knowing about the procedure - It really isn't anything Anyone- including closest family, would know! They might think you look great - happy- refreshed- whatever... but I don't think they would Really be able to put their finger on what specifically is different. Unless you want to tell people, I really do not believe anyone will ever know. I have 4 daughters (and husband) ALL said it was ridiculous, unnecessary .. Blah blah. Then.... 1 week later , same 5 people say, "oh now I see what you meant and you are right- looks SO much better 'l My doctor and I spoke about it yesterday- it is because in normal conversation, there is animation in the face and as you tell a story or express enthusiasm or any of the myriads of emotions we reflect, our eyes open big and we raise out eyebrows - or scrunch them or whatever - Things are always in motion on our face, which is why other people don't notice our drooping eyelids like we do. When I'm at home and look in a brightly lit mirror, my face is static and sagging eyelids are so visible and look sad/tired/depressed which I certainly don't feel. As I said earlier, I didn't want something new and amazing- just my own eyes 15 years ago. And one last time- anyone in Austin area, please consider Dr Weinfeld. I can't say enough nice things about him and his staff. It wasn't until i started looking at more pictures from other doctors did I realize some of them really are botched with a way surprised look. I think is is a relatively easy surgery, but done by the right hands makes all the difference. (Please excuse any typos -I just checked my email on a road trip and just thumb texting right now) This whole response may be a jumbled mess- I apologize) Best of luck everyone! You will love it!!

You look great! Congratulations.

You look very pretty and rested☺️

I had to chuckle at #2. I look at everyone's eye lids now and want to shout, "You need to do something about that!" as I point to their lids!!!! haha I love my new eyes, so I can actually relate to all of the above. You're so much further along then me. You look amazing and beautiful!!!

I just saw you had this done in the office, I am apprehensive about having my eyes worked on while awake! My doctor says he does it that way all the time though? Would love to hear more about that part... Thanks!

Beautiful and GREAT value too!

You still look great. You were my Lightning rod in April before I had mine done. Thanks. And congrats
