WORTH IT
had a bag under eyes wouldnt say it was bad but not something i liked , so i need a fresh look as i looked tried and puffy weary.
im glad i did do it thought i would take the risk ,down time for me was a good 2 half weeks back at work on my 3 week. still a bit swollen, i still sleep raised up a bit to help swelling but i guess time now is my medicine , as it can take up to 6mths but i do believe it was a good job done by my surgeon , i was a scared at first with the bruising and swelling thinking OMG what have i done.. didnt think i was going to get back to normal , so i tried so hard not to keep looking in the mirror and feeling unsure about the whole op.as time progressed the changes started to take place and felt ok this maybe might not be as bad as i thought , attached now are some pictures of my journey up to date hope this will help some one out there .

ok all here r a few pictures as days went on i think im in my 4 day here as i up load a few more its going into my week 2 ... when i did put on makeup i think i did mentioned before about two and half weeks into my op i put make up on .. i also believe how you look after yr surgery as i bathed my eyes 4 times a day with saline to keep them clean with gazes clothes an applying the antibiotic eye cream. its been now 3 weeks i still sleep up but not as high as i first did, as my eyes are still swollen a tated some days are fine then some days they look more swollen ,and hoping my self as a person heals well.so i hope these pictures help anyone considering or have just done the surgery that these pictures may give some idea of looks and healing process.

yes i do have makeup on , but if you read from the start i did say had a bag under eyes wouldnt say it was bad but not something i didnt like , so i need a fresh look as i looked tried and puffy weary. and that pic is three years old so it did get a little worst for wear lol..

I put makeup on mine, but still not happy with the look. Do you still wear under eye makeup?
June 20, 2012
yes i have a couple of times in the last week and a bit as it is now been 4 weeks since the op so i have not been wearing much but in my uploaded pics i do have makeup on which was about week 3 . but havent since . yes the make up for some reason will hide it... sometimes it showed up the lose soft areas under eye which wasnt a smooth look either that i hated ...,how old are you may i ask ..

I'm 41. Years and years ago, probably in my 20s, I went to some plastic surgeons to see if anything could be done. Answer was no. My regular doctor eventually prescribed some cream I put on under the eye and this did make the area less red. So it helped, but I have never been happy with the way it looks. This is busy season at work and then a trip coming up so no time for a consult, but I think I'll make an appointment for after I return. I also want to get my neck done.

my eyes started looking to me not right about three ago i guess.. it might have been where i was under alot of stress in my life and it showed on my face.. , but when i had put make up on and notice the skin soft and lose there was no firmness and done my home work and was happy with what i have done with myself , ..i thought of botox and other injectables.. added up the benifits on surgery and that was the way to go .. i guess the time you keep going back for botox and fillers it adds up every to 9 mths /12 mths thought surgery has a longer lasting affect in the end surgery was the way to go and it comes out cheaper , the only thing is down time , i guess thats y there is holidays lol...
i would love to know if you end up doing your surgery drop me a email would love to hear from you.

I have not considered botox. I can't imagine having needles stuck in the face every few months. I'll know more once I go for my consults. I'm going to make appointments today. Already have some doctors to call. Thanks so much for posting your pictures. I'll let you know what happens!
