I turn 50 in a couple of months. I realized the past 6 months I had bags under my eyes and I had never really noticed before. When I asked hubby a couple of months ago, he said he had noticed for about a year or so (?!) but he kindly never said anything. I decided to go for a lower bleph and my doctor said it was not wise. While it would look good now, I would get hollow as I age and I wouldn't like it - I also didn't want to do it along with fillers which was an option. He recommended fat repositioning but also said its a longer healing time, more costly, have to have anesthesia... Ugh... Decided just to do it and am very happy with results so far. The reason I am posting is the incredibly quick healing time which I believe is due to apple cider vinegar. Now I know its sounds strange but anytime I look up a remedy to something, this comes up! I literally iced my eyes, soaked with ACV/water, ice, etc.... I applied arnica a couple of times and made sure I slept on two pillows so I was raised. Part of my motivation was a Super Bowl party we were hosting a week after surgery - didn't want it to look like I had anything done!!! It has only been 2 1/2 weeks and I know the healing isn't complete but I'm really happy. Dr. Perry is wonderful!!!

Only 20 days post and you look completely healed! How do your eyes feel?

The area was sensitive but not so much now. I can feel where the fat was repositioned which is closer to the bridge of my nose but it's not a big deal. Nothing else feels different.
