YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!

Just today, after looking at myself getting dressed, I was thinking of the exact same thing! Best of luck in your future endeavors.

It's worth asking your doc for a referral to a surgeon! My insurance is covering my surgery. Good luck and thank you!

Your eyes look absolutely beautiful!

Thank you! It's been two years and two months, I'm coming up on my 53rd birthday, and now I need a brow lift. Gravity is such a B*T*H! Hahaha.

Healing days 3-5
My eyes were super sensitive to light, irritated, and itchy so the doc suggested an antihistamine eye-drop in addition to warm compresses 4x a day. That and wearing sunglasses, even while indoors, helped quite a bit. I took a full body shower on day 3 and leaning my head back to rinse off the shampoo was painful. Too much tension on the incisions is my best guess. Suture lines are healing nicely, the black eyes are by far the worst looking part of my recovery.

I go in for my upper blepharoplasty today. Nervous and excited. Mine is under local as well. I see that you bruised on your lower lids too.I did not realize that happens.
Good luck in your continued healing! The photos are very helpful.

It doesn’t happen to everyone! Hope your surgery went well. The worst part of the first few post up days for me was the itchy eyes! Antihistamine eyedrops helped a lot.

First of all even in our before pictures you don’t look anywhere near 50! 40 max and I can tell you don’t even wear makeup! even with all the bruising I can already tell your eyes will look amazing when they heal. please please please keep posting pix - I am almost 47 and have been thinking about eyelid surgery a lot.

Awww, thank you so much! I inherited pretty good genes but I also have some masterfully applied facial fillers. (Dr. David Mabrie is wonderful if you’re ever in SF!) I’ll try to add a few chronological updates with photos this weekend. My bruises haven’t faded 100% yet but Im feeling really good about my results.

Agree... I thought you were in 30s!

Haha! Why, thank you! The blepharoplasty definitely took 10-15 years off my eyes.
