I was tired of being told I looked tired due to the bags under my eyes. I would hide behind my glasses because I was so embarrassed.
Pros for blepharoplasty is the speedy recovery and very little pain.
Con the brow lift recovery was not as fast as blepharoplasty. I'm still healing from 4 months later however it doesn't keep me from doing anything just a little tender at the incision points. I'd do it again!

Hi there! Welcome, and thank you for sharing your story with us on RealSelf. Congratulations on a positive outcome. Did you have any bruising or swelling?
March 20, 2017
I had very minimal bruising under my eyes but I did have swelling. I'm not a fan of steroids so chose not to use them to reduce the swelling. The swelling was down within 4 to 5 days.

True! I suppose it's only a minor, short term inconvenience if it's not easy to hide.

Even if I had bruising for weeks I would do the procedure again. The results were life changing for me.

I'm happy for you! Do you feel confident enough to share some before and after photos?

I do, I was waiting for the doctor to send them. I uploaded them to my profile today.

What type of brow lift did you have, was it a lateral lift on the side of your temples?
March 20, 2017
I'm embarrassed to say I'm not exactly sure. I have 5 incisions one near each temple, one at the top of my head and one in-between the top and temple on each side.

Thank you, it sounds like you had the more complicated one. The lateral one just has 1 incision at your temples. No doubt yours will last longer. I am considering the lateral lift, this procedure is not as invasive. Glad you are happy with your results.

Thanks so much for that excellent review and the pics! I am considering a lower bleph before long and your review has been a great help with my research. You look gorgeous!
