Sick of my Bags - Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty (Transconjunctival) w/ Fat Repositioning & Chemical Peel - Beverly Hills, CA

I'm counting down the days until I can finally have surgery to get rid of my lower eyelid bags. I have had them since my early 30's and they have gotten worse over the years. I'm so tired of looking tired and I am getting so excited for my upcoming surgery. I am having a lower lid Blepharoplasty with fat repositioning.

I had a consultation with Dr. Jonathan Hoenig in Beverly Hills CA. During the consultation Dr. Hoenig said that the bags under my eyes were cause by the fat under the muscles having slowly moved in a position in front of the muscle. He demonstrated on me by having me squint. When the muscles under my eyes were squeezed, the bags under my eyes disappeared. He said my eye muscles were in good shape. He also said that when the fat moved, it left very thin skinned "valleys" under my eye bags. You can actually feel the bone directly underneath. He said that by repositioning my existing fat under these "valleys" he could restore a smooth transition from my eyes to my cheekbones. He actually said he was glad that I had such big bags because he had a lot to work with, and to him, that was a very good thing. He also did a few more tests and concluded that I wouldn't have a lot of extra skin that needed to be removed and that I would just need a chemical peel to combat the small wrinkles, or I could opt for a small skin pinch. Either way it was up to me. Dr. Hoenig was very friendly and his examination was extremely thorough. I had planned on meeting with a couple of other Ocularplastic Surgeons before making my final decision, but after my consultation with Dr. Hoenig, I knew he was the doctor for me. My fiancé' was with me during my consultation and he agreed. I have scheduled my surgery for February 13th. I have an appointment next week with my GP to get all of the necessary blood work done and an EKG. I have a Pre Op appointment with Dr. Hoenig on February 3rd. I am excited to finally get rid of theses bags. I'll be able to stop wearing my sunglasses indoors! Woohoo!
