WORTH IT
I always have taken pride in taking good care of myself and I'm enthusiastic about health and fitness. About a year ago I noticed that my face didn't look right. After undergoing a lot of stress over the past few years I noticed that my eyelids looked saggy, crepey and just a mess. I was also having difficulty seeing without raising my brows! After trying every fancy eye cream on the market I realized that I could no longer deny that I needed work done! By word of mouth I heard that Dr Sweis was passionate about doing eyes. I scheduled a consultation. After meeting with this wonderful doctor, I was impressed with her calm professionalism and gorgeous symmetrical face. I was planning on doing this next year but after meeting with her, I booked immediately. I was also impressed that she didn't oversell me. In fact, she agreed that at this point I should only do my upper lids!

Hi! I took Arnica Montana for several days before and I'm still taking it 19 days after. I did wet compresses for 48 hours after. It's just a waiting game now as I'm still healing. I'm trying to eat very nutrient dense foods and rest as much as possible when I'm not at work.

When swelling goes down, your eyes will be beautiful. Don't freak out. I had mine done and know how it feels.
