Hi everyone. I am going to have my upper Bleph this Friday. I am soo nervous. Have had hooded eyes my entire life. Finally decided to do it. My surgeon is an Occuloplastic surgeon and hoping it all goes well....I will post pictures as I go along.
Reading the reviews I see that there are many positive but some negative...this will be my first experience with surgery. Love botox and fillers, but this is the big plunge for me!

Oh!! Congratulations on taking this step!!! I'm scheduled for an upper/lower on Sept 5th, and I am scared too!!! But, everyone seems to think the horror stories are the RARE thing and the majority are very happy with their results ! Good luck! I will be following your progress!!!

Thank you...I am not nervous about the actual procedure, but the result. I'm also a bit nervous about the recovery and how bad I will look...good luck to you as well! I hope you'll post some pics?

I am also having my upper bleph this Friday, August 16! Nervous as well but excited.
I have always had heavy eyelids and have always hated them. Now I'm going to do something about it at last. I'll be thinking of you! Have your frozen peas and pineapple juice ready : )

I'm also going to take the herbal supplements that I have researched and are supposed to help with swelling and bruising! Keep me posted on your progress...Where are you having yours done?

Countdown is on. Spoke with my surgeons nurse and feel much better about it all. She says I can resume exercise in one week! I am taking the Bromelain and Arnica with hopes that it helps with the healing process. Will post pics after procedure tomorrow. Cannot wait!

Good luck! I had uppers, lowers and canthopexy in July. Very, very pleased. Take it easy in the recovery and you will be fine. Looking forward to seeing your updates.

All done! Painless procedure. Now I'm sore, almost a burning sensation but managed well with Tylenol and ice. Took under an hour. Love that it was done under local. He offered me an Ativan but I didn't take it. I preferred to be alert post procedure. Here's the pic...

You are so going to love this once you are done healing!! I had mine done about 13 years & it was one of the best things I ever did for just myself! I freaked out on day 3, for some reason it looked totally hideous. Thru support I was told...Hon, you eyes aren't going to heal at the same rate. LOL Yup, she was right! When do you get your stitches out? Happy Healing!

Omg,you look great! Much better than me LOL! Look how big and bright your eyes already look! Fantastic! *raises pineapple juice glass to you for a toast*
Good luck! Keep us posted on your surgery and recovery. Are you all prepped for your post-op?
