Lower Bleph This Week!

For the past couple of years I have noticed bags under my eyes developing. I never had them when I was younger. At first, they were noticeable if I loaded up on carbs/salty foods the night before. But then they became a permanent visitor when I looked in the mirror. Now 48, they stare back at me every. single.day. Ugh!
This is my first post to A) learn how to post my experience and updates and B) any advice for me?

Thursday is the big day. I am so excited I am nervous too, of course. But I feel like I am in great hands.
A friend used Dr. Patrinely a few years ago with great results. Since then I have asked my regular eye doc, my obgyn and my derm and they all have heard of him and gave him great reviews. I am in Houston. He has a practice here and in FL. He is an occuplastic surgeon. I am having a lower bleph with fat transfer. I added before pics (hopefully I do it right). I used to think my issue was eye bags but I have learned it's also my deepening tear trough that is making me look so old and tired. I pray all goes perfect - good vibes appreciated. I will update here as I make progress. This site has been so great for me - I hope to help someone else with my posts.

As expected, hard to look at! LOL All good so far, as expected. Sore but not awful. Icing, icing and more icing! Doing eye drops to keep eyes moistened. Excited to see how everything progresses. Hard to type but will post more detail later. Including pics from yesterday and today. Look sad in my pics but I’m not - jut trying to keep straight face lol
