I've had hollow under eyes for several years. Also lately my upper lids have sagged down pretty bad too. I tried tightening things up with a Co2 laser, which was great while it was swollen but everything dropped down again once swelling was gone. My surgery is one month from tomorrow. Reading the reviews and experiences of others on this site has been so helpful to me, so I'm going to document my surgery experience on here. Starting the countdown today!!! Here are some pics of my eyes without makeup and also with makeup. Looking at these makes me even more sure that I want this done and I pray that I will have good and wonderful results!!!

Pre-Op and Pay in Full Scheduled for Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty in Huntsville on June 6
I go Monday June 6 for my pre-op appt and to pay in full!! I'm nervous and scared but also hopeful that I will have good results. I trust Dr. Durst and saw his book of facial and eye work and it's really good and natural looking. I actually hope that he is aggressive enough cuz I don't want to have to do this again anytime soon!! I took these in the car this morning and I'm so sure about having this done and I'm ready!!! These pics are with full makeup, although I don't try too hard these days cuz I know my eyes look droopy and old :(
I hope and pray for great results :)

I'm on day 21 post op today and I was feeling the same way you are : READY. and scared but mostly READY. I wish I would have taken more before pics focusing on just my eyes. Good Luck to you

I've been following your Bleph review and you look fabulous!! Thank you so much for the reassurance. I have been on so many consults and I really feel comfortable with Dr. Durst!! But it's still letting a stranger cut on your eyes and is so very unnerving!! I just need to breathe... I'm ready to try!! I'll post updates on here!! Thanks for your comment :)

You don't want a doctor to be aggressive. There is a high probability that your lower eyelid will retract and you will be horrified at what you see when the swelling goes away.
You want a doctor who has a gentile touch and precision. Especially lower eyelid.

He was not aggressive at all. That's one of the first things I liked about him. All his before and after pics, the people look way better, but it's very subtle and if you didn't know they had surgery it might take you a minute to figure out, oh their eyes look better and brighter but not obvious plastic surgery eyes. His website has some good before and afters. His facelifts look amazing I think.

Not talking about him specifically. I meant in general, aggressive blephroplasty is almost gauranteed a bad result. I say this from my own experiance and because you used the word aggressive(enough). Like I said, delicate touch, precision, and artistry is what you want applied not aggression.I hope you get a good result.

I found a pic of me in my 20s
I took this to my consult with Dr. Durst and this is why he said he doesn't recommend a Browlift. I've always had a low brow.
