Successful eyelid surgery - so painless, easy to recover from

Eyelid Surgery with Dr. Hartley

tcapo
WORTH IT$7,000
This was my second surgery with Dr. Hartley. The first was a Biltmore lift 7 years ago at age 59. I don't live in North Carolina but travel there for the surgeries. I suppose it would be a lot less expensive if I had them done in my home state, but honestly never even considered it. Not that I'm rich or anything, but I figure it's the only face I'm going to get so why trust it to someone else. You see Dr. Hartley is the best of the best in my opinion. But I'll let you judge for yourself.
I don't know if I've just been lucky but both surgeries have been so painless, easy to recover from and successful, that I can't believe my good fortune. I'll post some pictures and let you guys ask me questions if you want. I'll answer as honestly as I can because this is about helping other people to make a good decision.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Your result is coming along great. How long did it take for the swelling and bruising to subside?

Thank you for your review and pictures. You look amazing! Did you have fat repositioning? pinch technique? Do you have any before pictures of your under eyes? I am thinking of going back to Dr. Harley for my lower lids. Had a lower lift in 2017 and wish I had had the lower bleph at the same time as I am in Canada. Heartened that the swelling and bruising didn't last very long.

Before and After Pictures

tcapo
I'm a year out from an upper Blepharoplasty. The after picture was taken today. I did not have a lower Blepharoplasty, maybe in my future. I love how my eye's look even without makeup. Restored to how they looked in my 30's. This was a painless procedure for me, and I healed very quickly. About a week for most of the bruising to subside. I took it easy for the first couple of days, then back to my normal on the go life. Dr Harley is fantastic!
