Hello Fellow beauty seekers (Inner and outer ;)
Heres me today just a bit of mascara on and a little blurry after a very nice saturday night!
Eyes are spectacular even though still healing - tons of comments from people when Im out wearing makeup about how good and rested I look. Utterly delighted with the outcome Doctor B is a star - cool as a cucumber with my Neurosis - and here I am feeling like a new person, not only physically but the more open-eyedness' has been so good on other levels- my eyes don't only look better they feel better and brighter.. one hundred percent happy!!

We're the same age and I'm considering the same procedure. So far it looks really good!!! Could you please post an updated picture? Thanks so much for sharing your experience! :)

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am eager to follow your progress and photos so hope you keep posting! I am debating between your dr and another local dr in COS. I don't like the fact that Dr. B charges $100 for a follow up consult (I had one already a couple of years ago), though it gets refunded if you go through with the procedure. Not sure if that is common practice or not. I don't want to be out $100 if I decide he is not the doctor for me.

It is common practice often people waste the doctors time just to ask price so I totally get it - time is money

Thank you for posting exp. and the pictures. I had an upper blephoplasty a week before yours but my eyes still feel so tight and I'm having severe dry eyes. I'm afraid my doctor removed too much skin especially from gym right eye. Are you experiencing any of these symptoms, especially the stiffness and tightness?

day 5 and feeling a bit nervous
WowedJuly 22, 2015
here I am on day 5. Im pretty nervous about how things are looking- I asked Doctor Burroughs to be very very conservative as Ive never had an very open eyed look- but I'm not sure thats going to be the case. Also it dawned on me that the initial consult had not been an intention to remove any fat bags as I did not have any visible fat bags instead I had hollows - infact two prior sessions had been to dissolve fillers! - I have very low body fat and a clean liver Ive never suffered with fat bags it was only wrinkles that were my issue. Last minute on the day he decided to remove fat bags?? Under my right eye has a hollow at the moment so Im trying to just Trust the process. The last thing I want to be doing is adding fillers! I thought a bit of fat was good to maintain a youthful look? The doctor is away on vacation at the moment so here I sit hoping I'm just over- reacting. Ive posted a bunch of pictures looking up and down and also of single eyes. In terms of how I feel- I feel fine and Im not in any pain- Ive been following protocol and using the warm compress. I usually just lay down with a meditation music chant and chill out while it does its stuff. Im also still sleeping upright as I think that helps with the swelling and Im careful not to damage the stitches . Im avoiding any sugar and minimal salt.... thats all for now....

I now it's been a few days since you posted this so hopefully things are getting better for you! You can read more on my review but I really went through a similar freakout period where I had to keep saying "trust the process"! I think your eyes will keep changing over the next few days and you'll start to really see progress.
