Upper blepharoplasty w skin pinch

WORTH IT$4,300
I have had saggy skin above my eyes and was getting some saggy lower skin as well. I thought about it for years but finally decided o go for it. I saw Dr. Lund for a consult, scheduled, followed the preop instructions, and am now on pot op day 4.
I had mine with local anesthesia that unfortunately by liver eats up quickly, so had to be numbed up a couple more times during the procedure. If I had unlimited funds, I would o general anesthesia next time. The day of surgery was quite painful, but manageable with pain meds. By the next morning there was minor soreness but no pain. I didn't need anything, not even Tylenol, after the day of surgery.

2/9- I am getting my stitches out today, but thought I would update for the first week. I had little to no pain after the first day, swelling has decreased, although I do still have one under my eyes and on my cheeks. I’m updating w pics from the first week.
2/16 - continuing to heal with less bruising. My upper lid scars are a bit raised and bumpy. I’m hoping it flattens out over time.
I am updating w pics from the first two weeks.

I hope this isn't a strange question, but mentally and emotionally, how was the healing, especially in the first day and days after surgery? I would like to have a facelift with upper and power bleph, but Im afraid the healing process would be traumatic. Were you scared/nervous/depressed when your eyes were very swollen. Did you feel like it was hard to see? Was it scary to see your face in the couple of days post-op? I really appreciate any insight you may have. Thank you!
