52 Years Old, First Facial Surgery: Upper Lid Lift (Bleph) Concurrent with Breast Augmentation -Cincinnati, OH
ORIGINAL POST
Hi y'all. I'm not sure what I think about this...
$1,900
Hi y'all. I'm not sure what I think about this procedure yet. Today is only day 3 post op, and my right eye looks perfect, although more bruised, while my left eye looks like it might have some bumps that weren't there before. However, I suspect appearance will change considerably over the next few days and weeks. This surgery was NOT necessary for me, purely cosmetic, and my decision was off and on anyway. I changed my mind twice since my initial consultation. Between this and the augmentation, the lid lift has been much more difficult -- more pain and annoyance, and I do question whether I did the right thing by choosing it.

one week post op
I apologize for not adding pictures immediately post op, y'all. I completely forgot. And I'm not sure I have any good pre-op photos. I will look for some, though. The eyes are coming along quite well. I find it difficult to spend any amount of time over 30 minutes outside because they are so sensitive. I am amazed how much sun and wind affects them now. At this point the left looks great, and the right continues to be swollen and bruised, but I feel hopeful.

10 days out AVOID THE SALT
I don't have pics today y'all, but
I wanted to let you guys know immediately that my doctor's suggestions were right on: NO SALT for two weeks. I thought surely 9 days was long enough, right? So I just had some Chinese food, no big deal. OMGOODNESS when I woke up my eyes were swollen back like they were day 4 or 5! I know none of you are as stubborn as me, but just in case, I'm JUST SAYIN' STAY OFF THE SALT.
