Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty. I couldn’t be happier with my results

A few years ago I decided that I was tired of looking tired and started researching eye bag surgery. Living near London, I went for a consultation at a well known eye hospital but didn’t feel comfortable to proceed with them. I knew I needed fat re-draping as I had hollowing under the eye bag. The surgeon seemed uncomfortable with this and wanted to remove the fat and then use fillers instead which I wasn’t onboard with. I decided to travel to Manchester to see Mr Leatherbarrow having seen good reviews online for this procedure. I really wanted an eye surgeon and not a general plastic surgeon having had a poor plastic surgery experience in the last! I felt 100% comfortable so decided to go ahead. I had the surgery on the 9th August 2021 and it’s honestly one of the best things I’ve ever done. I won’t lie, the recovery was HARD as the first week as I was sore, swollen (which hampered my eyesight) and just generally uncomfortable. The relief having the stitches and sponges removed 2 days after surgery was immense! The re-draped fat is hard and lumpy at first but once you’re given the all clear to do so (for me it was 2 weeks after surgery), you can start gently massaging it and it softens up. I don’t have any lumps anymore and would say I’m completely healed. I couldn’t be happier with my results and I’m glad that I travelled in order to go to the right surgeon. I have no scars as the incisions are internal so no one can tell I’ve had anything done but I’ve had so many comments about how ‘well’ I look! 100% recommend
