So for the past 4 years I have been struggling with lower eye bags. In this social media day in age photos are a daily part of our life, but not mine. I hate photos merely for the fact that they remind me of how bad my eye bags have become. I dread hearing that comment " you look so tired". I eat well, exercise and get the required amount of rest but no matter what eye creams or home remedies I try ---the bags are still there. Don't get me wrong I have managed with some eye creams and under eye concealers to mask them enough but I just want to wake up looking refreshed, like when I was in my early 30's. I realized it was time to do it when my sister snapped my profile picture and used a photoshop app to reduce or practically eliminate the under eye bags, POOF, like magic I looked refreshed and 5 years younger. Compare my profile picture with this everyday picture and see for yourself. For the past 4 years I researched several methods and doctors. I considered fillers after one Beverly Hills doctor said it could improve my situation but I wasn't convinced, I want permanent results. As you can imagine you get all sort of different feedback from each doctor you see. I finally decided to go with a doctor that immediately told me that fillers were a bad option and transconjunctival blepharoplasty (incision inside the eye) would be my best option. He also said he could do it under Local anesthesia which is a safer and can provide improved healing time, according to articles I have read online. I was ultimately convinced when I read lovetobefitnaturalandsexy review. She has been so satisfied and looks beautiful, just the results I was looking for and she had the same type of procedure. Can't wait to see my new self in just a few days.

6 days Pre-Op
I went online to the vitamin shop and ordered my supplements/vitamins to help with bruising and swelling. I will start taking them 3 days prior and continue post-op. These were the one's recommended by other patients :Arnica Montana 30X , Bromelain and Vitamin C. I posted another picture of me pre-op, this is early morning in direct sunlight.

3 days Pre-Op Typical Nervous thoughts setting in
3 days to go and still trying to read every review I can find. Nerves starting to set in after reading a few disaster stories. I eill remain positive for now and move forward knowing these are typical last minute jitters. I am reminded tonight of just how bad the bags can be after a long days work staring at my computer for 8 hours. I have attached up to the moment pics
