How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

One month post bleph
I'm very happy with the results. I have a follow up at the end of the month. The surgeon will decide then whether to remove a bit of skin or not. She said in many cases the skin snaps back into place. Will update in a month.
Had a lower blepharoplasty with transconjunctival...
Had a lower blepharoplasty with transconjunctival incision and removal of xanthelasma on 12/08/16. Starting 3 days before surgery I took 1000mg vitamin C. Day before surgery I started taking arnica Montana 3x daily. Still continuing with arnica, vitamin C and ibuprofen (for swelling) a week after surgery.
I was given zofran and hydrocodone - neither of which I ever took. I was also prescribed an antibiotic and torodol post surgery, along with bacitracin opthaic, all of which I did take.
In addition to the procedures mentioned above, I did have a rejuvenize peel- which is why I'm flaky in some of the photos.
Day 1 ~ Surgery day. Looked rough but felt surprisingly great. A little sleepy, and rough looking - but virtually pain free. I was always skeptical when I read other experiences were pain free- but it really was.
Day 2 ~ I felt great. I was able to pick my son up from school- no vision issues. No nausea or tiredness. No pain. I had A LOT of swelling in one eye.
Day 3~ Again, no pain. Swelling has gone down considerably. I put on sunglasses and did some
Christmas shopping. Had some irritation in my left eye. It is the beginning of chemosis. Due to this I discontinued the bacitracin until I saw the doctor (it seemed the bacitracin started the irritation).
Day 4~ Stitches from the xanthelasma removal were taken out. Bruises already faded to yellow. I'm pleased with how fast the healing process is moving.
Day 5 ~ I saw the surgeon today. I'm healing fine. Both eyes are irritated. My right eye is normal, left eye has developed Chemosis. It doesn't hurt- just feels a bit bruised and looks gross. Have a follow up in a few days to keep an eye on the progress. Still mildly swollen and a bit yellow.
One week post surgery ~ Slightly swollen. No sign of bruising. I see the surgeon tomorrow to follow up on them Chemosis.
I'm very pleased with the surgery so far. I really wish I hadn't waited so long to get it done! I can't wait to see the final results.
