WORTH IT
Finally have the courage and savings to get my upper and lower eyelids done.
I have lost over 4 stone in weight and promised myself I would get my eyes sorted this year and a lower facelift next year, as a reward for my efforts :)
Upper eyelids have a lot of extra skin and make me feel and look tired. Lower eyelids have a lot of loose skin due to age and weight loss.
Going for my final consultation on the 20th October with my procedure scheduled for the 2nd November, so watch this space!

Well done on the weight loss. There is lots of info out here ...best to follow your surgeons instructions. it's clever that you have equipped yourself with items and products that will comfort you in the first week, which is very hard. I'm your age and found that it's harder to heal that it would have been at 35 or 45. Arnica, bromelian , good food and lots of rest if you can manage it. I will be following your experience and may offer advice as time goes by. Wishing you the best of luck ..... It shouldn't hurt. It's just uncomfortable but worth it.

Hope you have chosen an occulaplastic surgeon rather than just a plastic surgeon. I made that mistake - didn't do my research properly and had to have a reconstruction. It's a lot better than it was but will never be as good as if it was done fist and as VERY stressful. Good luck !

I had my upper and lower blepharoplasty done by jan Stanek a couple of years ago in London. Be prepared to sleep as upright as possible and to look horrendous for a week. Well, I did anyway! I had bad bruising, greasy hair...scary looking! Also I found my eyes became tired very quickly afterwards ( just from watching TV for instance) so don't be concerned if you have the same. I was quite worried about it but that achy tiredness improved over three weeks or so. You're ready for a blepharoplasty I think. It's going to make one heck of a difference for you and you'll look sparkly and so youthful after! x

Thank you so much for your encouragement. It's always a bit of a scary decision to make. I think I am well prepared and I am hoping I will be reasonably back to feeling ok after 3 or 4 weeks :) if you think of any other recovery tips, please ,let me know x

I am sure you will be more than happy with your results.
I am due for a revision next Friday can't wait to get it over with, but I also can't wait to see Andrea again he is a lovely, very professional caring person.
Best of luck for upcoming operation .

Good luck with everything! I can't wait to hear how everything goes. I hope you post some before pics while you wait for your surgery.
This is still a work in progress, but if you are wondering what you need to buy for your recovery I've started a shopping guide post:
