I was born with very droopy eyes. My entire life I always had people asking me " whats wrong? " Why are you sad?" when I put eyeliner on it would smudge all over and the fat packets above my eyelids even FELT heavy. The droopy eyelids caused shadowing around my eyes and i had to use TONS of concealer all of the time. I would get done up and after all my clothes and make up and hair , my eyes still made me look sad and tired. I was so frustrated.
I finally made the decision to get surgery at age 35. Enough is enough I thought. I booked with Dr. Weiss , whom I was referred to by a family friend and everything went so smooth and perfect I have ZERO complaints about anything. The procedure itself felt like there was alot of pressure on my eyes (I was awake under a local) absolutely no pain , just a super weird and kinda scary pressure. I did alot of deep breathing and made it through with out any pain. My mom picked me up , and lead me to the car as I could not see very well , everything was fuzzy, and my face felt heavy and strange. I had ice packs on my eyes and went home to moms house and laid down with the ice packs .
I took the prescribed pain meds and vitamin c and slept and chilled out for about 3 days. There was never any pain. I looked like I was beat up and had blue and yellow bruising on my face . It took a good week or so for the bruising to get lighter. I stayed at moms for 5 days and then went home and kept sunglasses on in front of the boyfriend. We went out to dinner once with sunglasses and i was able to do my normal house work. Every day I looked better and better.
Now my eyes do not droop , there is no fat pads hanging down ontop of my eyelid and when I look in the mirror I have no complaints about my eyes. Friends and family say they hardly notice , which to me is a sign of a GREAT surgeon. As no one wants to look different or pulled back in any way. I notice the difference BIGTIME , I think my boyfriend does to but is polite and doesn’t want to say so. lol.
I would recommend DR Weiss for this procedure, eyes are delicate and seem to be tricky so I would only go for an EXPERIENCED Dr on this one. No fancy young surgeons out of school with a hip trendy office. I would only trust someone with 20 years experience
