Almost at the 6 month mark on upper blepharospasm

It's been almost 6 months, there is a tiny bit of excess skin and a little puffiness in the corner of my left eye. I was hoping that puffy corner would resolve by this time but it's probably my final outcome. I'll be okay with that. :)
The scars have faded some (but still visible). With makeup on, they can barely be seen. Since the scar is in the crease, they are not a problem. I know they will eventually fade completely.
Overall, I see an improvement and they look better in person than in photographs. Mission accomplished, I will move on to my other flaws now lol.....

Are you able to post the cost and were you able to view patient pics during your consult.
You eyes look great, btw!

Thank you Grace60. Dr. Blair had a large portfolio of pics for me to review. I was able to take my time and look through them. He even drew a line on my lids at my request so I could see how much skin he would remove. I felt completely confident after seeing the results of 2 of his assistants that had their upper blephs done in his office. They looked amazing, so I decided to go for it.
I combined the bleph with another procedure so I didn't include the cost.

But you didn't have additional procedures that are contributing to your eye result?
No brow lift or botox or fillers?

No, my eyes were uppers only, no fillers, no Botox (I am allergic). The only filler I have ever used was for my upper lip.

My eyes are doing great, bruising is almost non-existent. If you look closely there is a tiny bit of swelling mostly in the corners. Not bad for 2 weeks later, I'm thrilled. I'm wearing eye make-up in these pics.
I believe my surgery was easier because it was skin only. The first 12 days my lids were very bruised and I stayed in and iced them. I slept sitting up about 5 nights to reduce swelling. My doctor lasered my bruises around day 12 and the next day I could barely see any bruises.
It's 2 weeks today and there is no swelling. The scars will be pink for awhile but aren't really noticeable to others. All in all I had hardly any swelling after the first week.
