Quad Blepharoplasty Totally Worth It - Chicago, IL

I'm 44 and my upper lids were starting to droop and my lower lids were starting to sag down a little exposing too much of the lower whites of my eyes, making me look sad, old and tired. I wasn't ready to get a full face lift, fixing the eyes is the next best thing. I'm thrilled with the results! I highly recommend this procedure. Regarding my surgery, for those considering quad bleph, Geldner does a sort of lower eye lift with this procedure that tightens your face somewhat like a mini face lift. I didn't experience any pain during recovery. The first day was a little annoying because I looked like someone punched me in the face and I had to sleep propped up but on day 3, I already saw considerable improvement. By day 5 I could hide what little bruising I had with large sunglasses and by day 7 I was back at work and no one could tell I had surgery. I took Arnica Montana and Bromelain to minimize bruising. I iced a lot during the first 3 days to reduce the swelling and the healing was very fast. However, it did take a full 2 weeks for my eyes to feel normal again when I close them. I'll post pics soon. This surgery was well worth the price and the healing time. I would recommend this procedure to anyone interested in taking off about 5-7 years from their age.
