Lower Bleph and facial fat transfer

UPDATED FROM Tiger'sEye
5 months post

4 months out, Overall very pleased

WORTH IT$5,700
Overall, I am very pleased with the results of my procedure with Ridenour Plastic Surgery. I may want a second fat transfer, but the first one worked well and looks great, I just want more volume in my cheeks. We agreed that I wanted a subtle result, and I think I wanted a little more than subtle, and I should have said so. The blepharoplasty has transformed the way I feel about myself when I see myself in the mirror, and I am so grateful. I feel great.

Hi Tigereye, Thank you for your detailed reviews. I do not see photos but I m glad you are happy. How is it 1 year later? Wanted to let you know that my FS/NL/fat transfer surgery was Tuesday morning, and all is going well. Very minimal discomfort, and I managed fine with the drain, which concerned me. I had my husband watching me to make sure I didn’t fall/faint, etc., but managed well with no bad effects from anesthesia. I had the huge mummy head bandage until Thursday! Gotta say, that was probably the worst of it. On Wed eve, I felt like I was suffocating and got very anxious because I felt like I couldn’t swallow. I texted Dr. , and he said to cut the bandage an inch or two from the throat toward the chin. That helped and he removed the bandages Thursday morning. I have a lot of swelling but only a little bruising that I can tell. The RealSelf site is helpful, but it is very user unfriendly in my opinion. I do not think I will post my info there. Best, P

9 weeks

At just over nine weeks, I am still seeing very minor improvements in the swelling in the lower eye/ upper cheek, which makes me very very happy. I occasionally get impatient with my healing process, because I expected, unreasonably, to be completely healed by now. But the line that was splitting my eye and cheek is getting softer and fading away. I sill have three weeks until the 3 months of healing is over, and I imagine that that isn't a hard deadline. So, I'll continue to watch. This morning, I am very happy with my results.

Six weeks

Tomorrow will be six weeks since I underwent lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty and fat transfer. Not much has visibly changed since I last updated this profile. There is either still swelling in my lower eye/upper cheek region, or I will need a follow up fat transfer because I don't have the smooth transition from eye to cheek I so coveted. I am only halfway through the 12 week recovery period, so it's too soon to judge.
