58, eyelid surgery - it's awesome to see my eyes when I look in the mirror

At 9 months post op there is no obvious signs of any scarring and my eyes look amazing. The scar is flat to the touch, not white or pink, it just blends in with my eyelid skin.

When I share that I have had my upper eyelids done with people, I literally have to bring their attention to it.

I am happy that I made the decision to do the procedure and so happy with Dr. Walrath who did an amazing job on my eyes.

Tomorrow is officially 2 months post-op - All I can say is Wow! It is so nice not to look tired anymore and to feel bright and refreshed.

It really does affect your psyche when you are not feeling your best. A bit of self-care goes a long way and as I have said before don't let people in your life tell you, "Well, you don't need it." "It's not affecting your vision." etc., etc., If you notice it and it bothers you, then do it.

If you have followed my review, the healing journey was easy with no complications. I would do it again in a second and the only reason I waited was to save up for it.

Today, is day 21 post op for me and I was comfortable wearing makeup (everything except for my eyeshadow) only because I am still using a bit of vaseline on my scar lines to keep them supple and help them flatten out. I've also begun wearing my contact lenses again and everything has been fine.

I was out and about today, met with some friends who I haven't shared my surgery with for lunch and 2 of my friends commented that they like how I did my eye makeup. So they noticed something but didn't realize what really changed but obviously, they liked the change.

The biggest tell is my hubby who has commented repeatedly on how pretty my eyes look (He said, "I forgot how beautiful your eyes were"). He admitted he was nervous about my want to have upper eyelid surgery but he understands now why I wanted it. At week 3, no regrets whatsoever about having this surgery.
