Hi everyone, I am getting nervous for tuesday although i am sure it will be worth it. I am finally taking the plunge and getting rid of the tired angry look. I am 39 and don't look bad for age apart from the eyes which can be seen in the pics.
it has helped to see all the positive experiences on this website :-) so i thought i would do the same! I will keep you posted.

Hi there! I am three days post upper eye and am so far extremely happy. It's an easy procedure with little to no pain. Good luck and cannot wait to see your pics!

Hi there,
Well i got through it! Can't say it was a nice experience at all.....i am such a wimp!!
Had it done with a local, so no pain but very awake and aware of the whole prodeure, which i did not like one bit! Hated knowing, feeling, hearing the cutting and burning of my eye flesh! First side was worse but then i relaxed quite a bit.
I didn't want to look at myself but i did, and i didn't like it! Eyes felt very sore stigy and tight. I couldn't open them too much!
After 30 minutes i had already forgot how awful i thought the experience was....it really wasn't so bad, i am just a wimp!
Got home took picture and had a proper look in the mirror, this time i quite liked what i saw! My eyes look so blue....fresher already.
I have been icing every 20 mins!
Lets wait and see what tomorrow brings......i am expecting some really swollen black eyes!

Well had a poor night, not much fun trying to sleep sitting up when i normally lie on my side with head pushed into pillow!
Woke up very swollen as expected and slightly black eyes, don't know if they will get worse, but i don't think they look too bad considering.
I have iced only a few times to aid with swelling but i don't know if it has helped.
I am not at all sore but am suffering slightly blurred vision and tightness due to the strips covering the stitches. I can't open my eyes fully but they still look good.
I am feeling excited for the end results!

It looks like your Dr did a great job! Even though you are bruised you can still see how wonderful your eyes are going to look once they are healed! Thanks for sharing

Look at those pretty blues! It is definitely a strange feeling to be awake during this type of procedure, I agree! I am 5 days post-op. Swelling is just about gone but still lots of bruising. Make sure to take your Arnica Montana, Bromelain, and Vitamin C! : )
August 21, 2013
Thank you :-) I am not taking anything actually! I hadn't heard about these things until now? Do they make such a difference?
August 21, 2013
Ohh yes!! The Arnica aids in the healing of bruises. You can apply it topically and there are also pills that you put under your tongue. It's an herbal supplement. Bromelain is a vitamin that is also supposed to help aid in healing traumatized skin. I got mine at GNC. I am also taking 1000mg of Vitamin C per day, and drinking lots of pineapple juice. You can look up more details on the Arnica and Bromelain online, but I DEFINITELY recommend both : )
