I am in my mid 30's and underwent an ill advised upper and lower blepharoplasty. I almost felt talked into the upper. I regret the decision every day. i had beautiful almond shaped eyes, yes some minor bags, but it was much better than what I was transformed into. Once the swelling went away, I had a week or so of looking good, then as time went by I looked much older and hollow. My face just isn't the same. I discovered and expert in restylane injections and there has definitely been an improvement in the hollow, old eye appearance. I wish I had tried restylane prior to surgery. My eyes are not perfect, I think the result would have been better without having had a surgery first that had created asymmetry. But the doctor has been very patient and sees me on a regular basis for follow ups and touch ups to gradually build up a natural look.

To be clear another surgeon performed the blepharoplasty. Dr Yang was able to improve my appearance with restylane.

I went in for one more touch up of my restylane. I am getting married this summer. Dr. Yang used the tiniest amount of hyaluronidase to dissolve a minor uneven area of restylane (probably barely perceptible to most people but I want to look perfect for my pictures.) I have to say over the course of 3 or 4 visits and gradually filling in my eyes with restylane the results are getting better and better. I finally look like my old self again before the bleph. The last visit I also asked for a bit of botox to keep my eyebrows in a better position. The combined results from the filler and restylane have me looking better than ever. I wish I had done this first (instead of an extremely expensive surgery with another surgeon that left me looking older and more tired). I definitely look more youthful and alert again after the treatments with Dr. Yang.

Wow I'm sorry you regret your upper bleph. I had a lower only bleph and when I went in for the consult I asked about an upper because I thought my eyelids were droopy and puffy but my PS told me not to do it and that I didn't need it- I wish yours had done the same for your own sake. Nice to hear that you found a way to get your uppers to look normal again. And congrats on the upcoming wedding! Thanks for sharing your story on RealSelf, please keep us posted!
