Super happy with upper blepharoplasty for mild sagging atop hooded eyes

Perfect Upper Lids!

Super happy w/my upper blepharoplasty! … I was not an easy case. Namely, I had a very mild amount of sagging skin that had developed (40’s age related) atop my already hooded eyes. The thing is, I liked my eye hooding. I just wanted that excess skin gone. So, I was quite picky about how much skin I wanted removed: enough to curb the aging look, not too much to change my eyes shape. I spent days & months scouring reviews of all the doctors from Texas to California… and I found my perfect surgeon with Dr Nakra. I consulted with a total of 4 FACS surgeons, 2 of which specialized in eyes and I met with Dr Nakra twice. The defining moment for me was in my second office visit when I saw the women in the waiting room. They were all post-surgery. One fully healed, another with a bandage on her head, and all looked so naturally beautiful. They raved about Dr Nakra. They had all told all their friends about him. And one seemed to have the inside scoop that he’s where the doctors went to get their face worked on. Well, I’m not old enough for a face lift… and I didn’t need the whole endoscopic forehead eye fat transfer combo pack some of them had undergone... I just needed a natural snip of the lids to maintain my natural look while nipping the saggy eyes in the bud. (with his glorious C02 fractional on the full orbital area which I highly recommend!) But surely if they were all happy, gorgeous, and not overdone, then I would be too. Right? Right.
Dr Nakra nailed it. The surgery was a sinch. Super easy. I did local anesthesia, so I was awake. Everyone was lovley. No bruising. No pain. Just puffy and red eyes. I needed a full 2 weeks of time off. And I took the first week off from the mirror (which I would encourage you to do). I went back in public week 3, though my eyes didn’t really look what I would consider to be normal until roughly 6 weeks, though only from residual though minor swelling. At 2 months, I was likely the only one noticing anything off, and at 3 months, I LOVE the results! Dr Nakra is an artist at heart, and he won’t approach cookie cutter style… he will work closely with your goals and craft an approach according to your unique face as well as your unique goals. A heart full of gratitude to Dr Narka! A huge recommend!
