When in my late 20s I started really disliking my bags, between 6-8yrs ago but at the time the only procedure I could find was the external one that cut below the lash line to remove the fat deposits. Being prone to keloids and still pretty happy with my face in general I decided the risks outweighed the benefit - fast forward to mid 30s, smh - I HATED the bags on most days and really felt they aged my face on most days. On days when I didn't feel tired or congested, i'd walk around thinking I was radiant just to look in the mirror and feel bad that in reality I looked tired or completely swollen. So more research and extra money to spend, I learned on the lower lid procedure done through the inner lids. I searched for a doc that specialized in eye surgery and went out of state to have it done.

Wow you look fantastic!!!! I'm looking to get the same procedure done but a little nervous. Did you feel a lot of pain during recovery? When were you able to go out in public without looking beat up?

For the 1-3 days I felt puffy and swollen, so I took 1 vicodin the night of and just extra strength tylenol for the next two days to reduce swelling and ease discomfort, but I wasn't in pain primarily just a bit uncomfortable. I minimized going out for a couple days to any high grass/floral areas so that my allergies wouldn't flare up and cause more swelling. I did go out by the next morning - I have great dark large Jackie O sunglasses so the bandages only extended slightly outside the frames.

Thanks for sharing. Is there a name for procedure?

The doctor's website has the details on the name and if you call, I'm sure they'll be super helpful.

If you're still deciding, give him a call...I did my consult over phone using pictures sent via email. He takes all fat out so pretty basic conversation.

Great work! How have things held up almost a year later, especially with seasonal allergies?
