It's Almost A Year Post-Op!
WORTH IT$5,000
It's coming up to the one year mark!
I don't regret having upper and lower bleph done. Best decision ever.
I do have to go back for a wee bit of tweaking. Dr is not completely happy with the little bulge/ mark under my left eye. I couldn't care less- the wretched bags are gone.
I'm happy!

Well what can I say... This helped me immensely!!!
I too am 51 years young and headed to surgery in two days. ARGH!!!
I started running in my 40's and am so proud of the changes my body has taken
Very frightened of missing my running and workout routine!
The down time will have me climbing the walls...
I am completely fine with my face except for my eyes. There truly is no solution but to have the lower bleph. I have tried copious amounts of creams and Botox under the eye needs more ...
So I thank you for your post!!!
Your post gave me the courage to do this!!!

5 weeks post op here. I am happy with my surgery...
5 weeks post op here.
I am happy with my surgery.
I do still have raised bumps on the outside bottom corners of my eyes.
I know I need more time and any weird glitch can be fixed.
At times I get tremors under right eye.
I am still happy I got this done- especially when I look back at my before pic.

Your surgery was definitely worth it, you look amazing. I had a nerve last week ticking but went away after a few days.. Drove my crazy.

6 weeks today. Tremors have stopped.ive actually stooped being constantly aware of my eye surgery.
Very grateful to have had this great community of people to learn from and to be supported by.

You look amazing! Aren't you delighted? AND you woke up (read your first few posts) have you done anything special to help the healing? Seven kids? And isn't it funny we wait till we're done with them to take care of ourselves?

I'm not even done with kids my youngest is 7. :D
I just got so sick of looking at eye bags.
I thankful to God and my surgeon for waking up!

Hi there - your eyes look fantastic :) nice job!
I just had mine done and its day 3 today and I'm a bit worried about the shape of the eye holes because they feel smaller and look a bit unequal at the corners - I noticed yours looked quite sore and 'joined' at corners on day 3 but then they relaxed out to later correct shape - is that right? I'm a bit concerned mine are too tight now at the outer corners and the holes will be too small - did you have these kind of concerns at day 3? My upper and lower lids are joined quite far on on the left eye but its hard to tell if its just the gunk and the tape holding them together at the point or not.

Mike as you can see day 3 is swollen tight and aweful.
Forget judging anything about your surgery for 10 solid days.
Just I've and be calm!
It will be all good!

Mike, I couldn't even post the picture of my 3rd day, my eyes were so swollen my eyelashes faced backwards... Towards my face! Black and blue from my cheekbones to my eyebrows. Stitches everywhere! And over the next few weeks things got better, then weird, then good, weird symptoms like itching, blurry vision (turned out to need artificial tears every hour) twitching, intermittant pain, stabbing from nowhere. So stay away from mirrors and steel yourself for some serious patience. Lots of ice. :-) I'm sure you'll be pleased.

Thanks 7kids - ~I'm day 12 today -they have calmed down a lot - and the bags n hoods are gone/better but I seem to have swopped them for big scars / foldl lines at the corners, which dont look great either. I'm hoping they reduce and fade to less noticeable levels.
thnx

hi there - yes, I'm having tyhe itching and blurriness from tear type liquid often over the eyes - but happy to put up with this kind of stuff if the eyes continue to mend back to a normal ish look - bags n hoods are gone but I now have quite noticeable scars/folds at the corners which shout "eye op here!" to everyone - so I'm hoping they fade / reduce and if they do i'll be very happy :|
