The time has flown and it's already been one year since my upper blepharoplasty. I'm happy to report that things are looking very good, and the sagging I was worried about has pretty much gone. It's a bit noticeable when I've just woken up but soon settles. It looks so natural, I couldn't have asked for a better result.
The scarring isn't visible at all on the outer edges of both eyes, but towards the centre, they're very white and obvious to me. They're flat, so I'm not worried that they'll end up keloid, but I do put a tiny bit of foundation on them for work. I'd been using bio oil to flatten the scars but I don't know anything that will diminish the visibility of these so I might have a quick chat with my surgeon. Even if this is as good as it gets, I'm still happy. The hardness on the outer edges has also gone away and there are no bumps.
Think that's about all!

Not much more to report, except the bump on my outer left eye has gone down and is no longer visible. I occasionally get little bumps here and there but they go down quickly. The scars are barely visible now, the outer bit is still a bit pink when I've just woken up and there's a bit of silvery white scar on the inner corners but can only be seen in a certain light. So happy. I've recently had some photos taken on a night out and I look so much more refreshed. My eyes used to look squinty in natural photos but they look so different now.

Thank you! My body tends to heal pretty well from incisions. Bruises are a different story. They stay forever!
All the best for your op and I'm sure you'll get the results you want.

Thank you for such an honest review. How are you feeling about the right eye which you said looked a bit uneven and saggy? Also has the "rock hard" scarring on the right side soften up completely now. Our eyes are such an important part of our face, that its important you feel happy with you results. But honestly your eyes are looking beautiful now, and all the minor bumps you see are not at all noticeable to anyone else. We are always our own worst critics, and you look amazing!!

I'm two months post op and everything is going really well. The scars are disappearing nicely and the small bump I had on the outer left side is going down as well, just as the surgeon said it would. The other small white lumps I had are also going away, so I'm very happy. The scarring on the outer right side felt rock hard early on but I've been putting quite a lot of pressure on these areas when massaging with vitamin A cream. Not dragging the skin, but more just pushing down on the bony bit and making the tiniest circles with a big blob of cream so it's not dry. This has helped immensely and the skin there is now much softer. I use hardly any pressure on the rest of the scar though. Don't want to undo all that work and have saggy lids again! Not really much else to report apart from this. :0)
