WORTH IT
I recently lost a good bit of weight and was left with eye bags. I consulted an oculoplastic surgeon and we opted for lower blepharoplasty instead of fillers. The surgery was in his office and I was back home within 2-3 hours. It was a little painful but not too bad and well worth it. He did not remove any skin, but just the eye bags themselves. The worst part was using ice on the eyes for 30 minutes, every 30 minutes for 48 hours. It took about 3 weeks for my bruising to go away, but still worth it. Would do it again! Love my eyes now.

So was this done with you being awake? And how much was this sorry don't answer if you don't want to. I'm desperate to rid my eye bags. Hate them.
You look great by the way

I was awake but he gave me 3 Valium and did some injections around my eyes. Thanks.

You look great, I am a 36 year old male from UK with the same problem and desperate to get them done but at £3000, I cant quite afford them just yet and suffer on a daily basis with lack of confidence and depression. Well done to you for doing it and looking so much better :)

I'm with you - I've been considering it for the last 5 years!! I think this may be the year I go for it. Best of luck if you do! X

Your lower lids look amazing! Do you know if your doc removed or re positioned any fat?

He only removed the bags. We did not do fat repositioning. We didn't remove any skin either bc I'm only 34 and didn't need that

I'm looking at the options for removing eye bags. I'm only 30 but I'm so ready to get rid of what has always been such a cosmetic issue for me. Did your doctor do the procedure on the inside or outside of your lid? Your results are great and my eyes look similar to how yours looked before. Glad to hear it worked to well for you!

He did the inside. I have no scars. So glad I did this. So worth it. Go for it

Are you still happy with your results? I am in need of doing upper & lowers. I will be awake
as well. Is the most pain during the numbing
injections? I am a bit nervous about being awake. Thanks! You look great!

Yes very happy. I would do it all over again. Yes most of the pain is the injections. I was nervous as well but it went by so quickly and they gave me valium to take before so I was awake but didn't care if that makes sense hahaha
