45 and Told That I Look Tired Most of the Time. Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty Booked. Budapest, Hungary

9 days post op
I am now going to post pics from day 1 of my op to date.
I am extremely pleased with the result and so glad I decided to have this procedure done. I have woken every morning feeling excited about looking into a mirror (for a change!) The healing of my eyes has been extremely quick, unbelievable! The second day was my worst. I looked terrible as though I had been in a car crash but I was still very pleased - bizarre, I know. It was following people on this site that helped me through it as their pics showed them in similar states at day 2 and 3 so I thought this has to be worst I will look and how right I was.
I had my surgery in Budapest. I stayed in a beautiful apartment that I could relax in which had a freezer department so I can put frozen compresses on my eyes. I just relaxed, no housework to do, it was great. The hospital was just around the corner and I had the reassurance that they were just a phone call away if I needed anything. The Surgeon and the Team were fantastic! :)

Thank you Jettygirl. I can't believe how quickly my eyes have healed too. I am taking vitamin C and Echinacea.
I've very much wanted this done for many years. The only regret I have is not having it done sooner. My confidence has returned and I feel great. My friends can't believe how much younger I look too!

You look wonderful!!! I'm thinking of getting this same procedure in the future. I am 43, but trying to hold off a few more years. Just wondering if you had the fat under your eye re-positioned or if you had a fat transfer to your under eye area. Like I said, you look awesome!!!

Thank you for your kind comments Susie. :)
I had some fat removed and some repositioned to just underneath my tear duct.

Hi I will be staying in a hotel after my eyelid surgery.
I have no idea what to do about ice pad,since I have no freezer in my hotel room.
Help

Hi. Get in touch with the hotel to see if they could provide a small fridge freezer in the room. It's worth a try? Maybe think about buying a cool box whilst there and filling it with freezer blocks and ice. You would be able to get 24-36hours of use before replenishing with more ice cubes. I was able to do some shopping one day after my op.

Fantastic! I'm walking 10 feet high and bag free! It's a lovely feeling and my confidence is coming back too.

Also, people have commented about how well I look and not how tired I look. A couple of friends nearly keeled over when I told them what I'd had done and they can't believe the difference it has made to me.

That is fantastic! Good for you. Some people think we are crazy for doing the surgery but I think inside they are just jealous. My gosh, we just want to look better and feel more confident as we age. I'm all for it! After all, when your vision goes bad you get glasses. So when your eye bags get ugly or extra eyelid skin gets droopy get surgery to fix it. LOL.
