- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Day 20
I feel as though the swelling has gone down, although I'm told it can take months for it to completely resolve.
My eyes do seem to change and at times look better than others. My left eye I'm happirr with and have more visible eyelid but more overhang of loose skin. My right eye has dropped and I have very little eyelid to show. My right eyelid is also smaller than my left, so feeling a little unhappy. I'm also unhappy with the lateral scar that the surgeon promised I wouldn't have.
I specifically asked if my eyelids would drop and he said no. However, when I sent a photo of my asymmetrical eyes he left a message saying it looked like my brow position had changed and I'd probably had Botox, which I hadn't. He said he'd reply to my email but never did. However, I have an appointment with him next week.
In the photos my eyes definitely look better. Although in the mirror my eyelids look full and heavy.

Feeling very anxious
Today is day 10. In terms of healing, it's going well. I've no pain, swelling gas gone down and so has the bruising. Unfortunately, I have a very long maternal scar on my right eye (I was told all scars would be I'm my crease). So it'll always be evident I've had surgery and that's the last thing I wanted.
I haven't posted a picture, because to be honest I'm depressed and can't bear to look at myself. I've been taking about 50 photos a day but all I see is the asymmetry and one droopy eye. I feel worse than before surgery and don't want to leave the house.
I emailed my surgeon some photos. He called me back but I missed his call. He basically left a voicemail saying that from the photo it looks like my brow position has changed and he assumes it's because I've had Botox. I have not had Botox! I asked before surgery could the bleph cause my brows to drop, he said no. I'm also pretty sure I didn't do compensatory brow lifting, as my eyelids never obstructing my vision. However, he now seems to think I've somehow had one brow drop lower, which is why my eyelid is smaller. I think my smaller eyelid is because of the incisions. I have a lower incision on the right, so surely this is why the eyelid is smaller.
Anyway, he aid he'd reply to my email but he hasn't yet I'm dreading it. He will fob me off and say I need my brows doing. Despite reassuring me my brow position wouldn't change (I specifically asked this).
There is no hope for me. I can't afford thousands more pounds on more surgery. I'll be paying off this one for months to come and I can't leave the house because I hate how I look.

Day 6. Stitches are out!
Today is day 6 and I have had my stitches removed.
In terms of recovery, I feel lucky that I've had no dry eyes or sensitivity to light. My incisions are slightly sore when touched but have healed very well. I still have some swelling and bruising but it's early days.
Aesthetically, overall I'm pleased. Looking at the bigger picture, my eyes are much better than before surgery and for that I am grateful. I do worry because I've been told the final result may not be evident for 3 months. My right eye is still smaller than the left and I think I'll always look asymmetrical. I'm hoping with time and make up, it will be less noticeable. I do appreciate I do have a height difference in my eyebrows but at the moment all I can see are two different sized eyelids. I also worry that if the right side drops anymore then I'll have little eyelid to show. In addition, I have what looks like a bit of a bulge/excess skin around my incisions but I'm still swollen in this area. I will do another update in a few day.
