WORTH IT$4,500
I definitely needed eye lid and eye bag surgery but not wanting to go under the knife. I found and amazing Dr here in AZ who does CO 2 laser facelifts. I had upper/ lower eyes, fullface, neck and chest done. Surprisingly, I am not in much pain at all. A bit of discomfort but is manangable. I can't wait to show everyone my results. I hope it was worth the $$$ I spent. Is just under 5,000.00 . I just don't want to be disappointed. I will update my stages of recovery.

Post op day 3-4
michelleestbyMay 21, 2019
Day 3-4 post op. Not pretty! My eyes swelled completely shut for about 24 hours. Very scary.... Swelling is finally going down and I am off the oxy for pain. Only need ibuprofen for swelling and mild discomfort. Hope I start peeling in the next couple days. I am being very positive due to the fact I look like a monster and feel like the healing can't come fast enough! I went in for a wash and care instructions from MD today.

You look fabulous. I have talked to 2 doctors and want to do full face and eyelids. The doctor suggested a fat graft on my upper lip to smooth out my lip lines that he said wouldn’t be helped all the way with the CO2 laser. I am 63 and have had my eyelids laser in 2012 and loved it. My question to you is how long did the redness last? How many days were you in pain needing pain medication? Do you have any pigmentation from the laser? The doctor is a cosmetic dermatologist surgeon. The other doctor I went to was Ears, Nose and Throat Surgeon. I am not going to him I heard bad things from other patients and a Physician Assistant I have seen for years for injections. I would appreciate your guidance. I am so afraid something will go wrong. Aloha and mahalo
Thanks for your review and posting so soon after your procedure! I hope your recovery has got off to a good start. Please feel free to let us know how you get on from here :)
