WORTH IT
Ok, so I've decided that I'm tired of looking tired! I have bags under my eyes no matter how much sleep I get. My dad has them pretty bad and I have them as well. They're not super bad, but I don't want them getting worse. I usually get fillers, but the bad thing about that is it wears off. I figured I'll just get the surgery and in the long run it will save me money from having to get fillers every time they wear off. I decided to go with Dr. Cochran because I had a tummy tuck with him over the summer and he took really good care of me and I trust him. Surgery is set! I just have to get another CBC test and pregnancy test. I'm sure the CBC will be fine like my last one was and I'm definitely not pregnant.

Here is a before pic. I can't wait to get these eye bags removed! I've tried every cream out there. Nothing works except for fillers. Unfortunately those wear off. I'm starting to get exited thinking about this surgery!

Hi! So you let your filler wear off before sx? I am excited to see your results.

Yes, it's time for me to get more fillers. It's completely worn off. I'm sure you could still do it. They have something that dissolves fillers if it needs to be completely gone for the surgery.

I'm posting a pic I took the same day I get Beletero. It looks great, but it wears off. I'm not leaving it up for long because you can still see my face even tho I marked my eyes out the best I could,

Thanks for posting! Yes, you have great results from that filler. I am really thinking about calling the doctor that did mine and complaining. That was expensive to not have good results. I went from sunken in to swollen, and the color is different too. I also had so much bruising that I really thought my job was going to call me in to see if I was getting abused by my husband because they looked like I had been punched. I will definitely ask Dr. C when I see him in Feb about it. How long is the recovery time for that surgery? It really makes sense to do it because the amount of money for fillers versus the surgery does not compare, and you look young too, so you would be spending way too much money on fillers in the long run. Thanks for posting the picture for reference too!!

Yes I love the results, but they don't last. I would definitely call and complain. If anything they can remove some of the filler. Thank you, but I'm not that young, lol. I'll be 39 in April.

Wow, you do not look it though. I just posted my before and after the filler on my review. Let me know what you think? I hate to complain if you think it might get better. I really cannot wait to see your results. I would love to have it fixed permanently.

Omg, I'm going to look! Thank you so much. It's probably bc I'm half Asian, haha.

It's not up yet. They have to approve it. I'll Check tomorrow. It usually takes a day.

I didn't read this right, I found it. I left a comment. You honestly don't look bad on your after pic.

Thank you for looking! I think it is hard to see in a photo. I can tell it is very raised and does not flow smooth like yours does. The doctor I had for it did it super quick, so it might be due to that, or it may be some bootleg stuff from Mexico that is not good material. I have heard a lot of these medical spas order cheap stuff from Mexico that is not 100%.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. That's horrible considering what we pay to get these things done,

This photo was taken after I get fillers. It takes away my bags, but unfortunately they wear off.

Did you see any of Dr. C pictures for this surgery? I was curious if he does a lot of facial plastic surgery or if he is just the Tummy Tuck king, haha!
February 1, 2016
No, I haven't, but I trust he knows what he's doing. I'll definitely post pics after I get it done.

I hope you add some before pics while you wait- you can crop them so they are just of your eyes and remain anonymous.
