WORTH IT$9,000
Right at one year. I have put on about 4 kilos and I think that may accentuate my thin cheek. My system seems to have slowed down at 63 years.
I also had shingles on my neck and chest a few months ago. My eyes were affected by shingles before I had the surgery.
I don't like my thinner cheek and the hollow look of my eyes. I definitely would not recommend bleph surgery unless you have major bags. I have an appointment to get a quote for a molar implant here in Australia in a few days. Will be interesting to compare prices. With the lower Australian dollar might be comparative now?
So there are parts I like and parts I don't, but in the end am a 63 year old and getting older. i do look younger than before pics, but my smile and my strange eyes aren't great. Maybe in a few more months and a few kilos less things will improve.

Makeup for dry eye
gingermegs22June 6, 2015
I don't use different usual brands of makeup - Foundation, shadow and mascara. I am best if I stick to Clinique. It took me years to figure out that my terrible eye infections were being triggered by inflammation from makeup and I stick to hypoallergenic.

More dry eye tips

Low salt diet, makes a big difference to me and a preservative free gel like Novartis Visco tears, especially just when you go to bed. Also consider being tested for Sjogren's syndrome (dry eyes- dry mouth autoimmune condition). Hope it sorts, mine getting better but tight eyes. I have had people not recognize me, which I don't really feel comfortable with, but that's life.

Thanks for your honest update. You were honest without spewing venom as a lot of unhappy posters seem to do.
I had upper and lower blephs done in Bangkok some years ago. I had the upper done first and loved the result of that. I decided to have the lower eyes done a few years later, and regretted that decision. I didn't have bags under my eyes and it really wasn't worth it. The anaesthetic wore off part way through the procedure and I was in agony. It really wasn't a pleasant experience and it didn't do anything to enhance my eyes or my face.
You neck looks great, and I am planning to have that done in the next year or so. I find that is more ageing than anything else.
Whilst it did make a bit of a difference, it wasn't the result I expected, and the tightening of the skin under my eyes resulted in more pronounced lines at the corners of my eyes. I guess this was a result of the way the doctor cut the skin and stitched it, pulling it up and away from the under-eye area, but creating deeper lines at the corners.
