My Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Adventure - Farmington, MI

You're right it was local :) I'll revise

Thank you each day is getting a little better I will keep posting pics as I heal . I really didn't change my diet ..I did make sure not to take any aspirin products two weeks before , or alcohol the week prior and I bought Arnica Montana ..which is a natural homeopath supplement to help with bruising ...you can get online or at health food store ..they are little pellets you let dissolve in your mouth .they helped with other surgeries I've had so I knew that couldn't hurt plus my surgeon even recommended it . I am icing for 15-30 min every few hours while awake ..just a light ice pack with a soft wet wash cloth over my eyes . Absolutely no pain I still can't believe it I haven't even taken a Tylenol or anything ..just experiencing stiffness from the stitches ..I'm hoping the bruising goes down a bit tomorrow planning on going to dinner lol j am sleeping with three pillows to keep my head elevated and that seems to help :) my 50th bday is in June I'm hoping to look great for it !!!

Thank u so much for this info. My surgeon recommened Arnica too, but I'm just going to do icing. I guess I better ice as much as possible. Thats great that you don't have much pain! I'm hearing from so many people that there isn't much pain. I hope your bruising gets better b4 your dinner plans, but thankfully there is makeup. :-) Thx again for your reply. Your eyes are going to be beautiful after you heal!!

Thanks so much !!

Thank you !! I think other peoples posts of pics helped me to decide to do it ! I wanted to share my experience as well !! Everyday it's getting a little better !

Thank you so much ! I definitely see a difference !! Now just to make my weight goal !! Next project !! Lol

I honestly am not certain I'm guessing removal though ...sorry lol

Thank you so much ...I too am impatient ..my dr said 6 months to a year for final results ...hopefully each day gets better for both of us !!!

I felt the same way took me a few years to do it but glad I did :) sometimes you need to do you !!! I was planning on only getting my uppers done but the one thing my doctor said was if you only get the app is done you will really notice your lowers and you'll be sorry you didn't get them done as well so I'm really glad I took his advice surgery was not bad at all the recovery was pretty short and the results have been better than I thought!!

Who was your doctor? Was the cost around $5000?
