Upper Blepharoplasty with Dr. Darrow - Boston, MA

Thank you so much! I probably didn't post "good" before pics so you can see how my eyelids were hooded. Well... I'm a person with lots of fears. No kidding. I was scared and out of my mind. But it was easier than I thought... I had 5 mg of Valium, so it helped. It doesn't last that long. And you are good to go right away... Good luck!

The only reason you see little difference is because I literally draw my eyelids with make up every day...

Seriously girl, you were/are gorgeous. Thanks re: my surgery plans. I'm in Australia & will have to travel interstate. I'm 46 & comments from nasty younger work mates (albeit unintentional at times) are getting me down. I think I've found my surgeon & will make a consult time in the New Year. Congrats again & Happy Healing to you.

Nasty co workers! We women are so sensitive... I hear you... Do this for yourself and yourself only! I did this now because I had hooded eyes as my father, and as I get older, it would be even worse. I'm 30 years old. Keep us updated! And happy holidays to you!

Thank you so much!! You are the best!

Thank you!

Thank you! Still healing, but scars are nicely fading away. Will make another post soon!

Absolutely! I will do another update really soon. My scars are fading nicely, and everything seems fine. One scar is little bit slower in healing than the other, but that is ok. Thank you!

Lizzie, yes. Sature lines extend out on both eyes. The thing is that my left eye heals faster on the outside but not on the actual eyelid. Whereas it's completely the opposite on my right eye. It's the way my eyes heal I guess. Good luck to you!!

Amazing how you can hardly see them and you're only 1 month out..I think eyelid skin heals better than any place else because it's so thin.

Very true Lizzie! Thank you for commenting!

Just picked up my Valium (for procedure) and Percocet for pain (and fun). Ha. I've been totally relaxed about the whole thing but had a dream last night I ended up looking bad...I guess my subconscious is more worried than my conscious mind?

OH! Your procedure is around the corner? When is your date? Will you use Percocet? I got it too, but never filled the prescription. It will put you at ease for sure... You won't be in that much of a pain. You will be surprised... But please keep us posted. Those dreams are totally normal... Do you ever remember a dream that was awesome and good? I don't... I usually remember ones that were horrible... You will be fine! I hope you selected the right surgeon and that you trust him. Will be thinking of you...

Thanks for your kind words. My surgery is Thursday and looking forward to getting it over it. I think my surgeon does natural work--that's why I picked him. But you never know until it's over and healed how it'll look. Can't believe you didn't fill the Percocet script?! If I'm going to be cooped up in the house for a few days I definitely want to feel good :) I'm also going to be juicing a ton and scheduled a lymphatic drainage massage for 4 days after to help with swelling. I'll post a review in a couple days.

Oh! So nice! You are going to feel good! ;) I just don't like medication like that. Oh hell, whom am I kidding! I don't enjoy alcohol either. Just make me feel weird... When I had my breast augmentation I only took 1 tablet and another half of Percocet... I'm under 100 lb, so everything affects me really fast, and sometimes hard. So, that's why I skipped Percocet this time. I wish you happy recovery!!! Please keep us posted! Let me know if you have any questions regarding this procedure. I will think of you!
