One Month Review

Well, I did not expect to be healing still. There are faint bruises under my eyes. Not so easily concealed by makeup since there are two red patches (from the laser) next to the bruises. The corners of the eyes are red (although I will have lasers in a week or so to reduce the redness). I don't like massaging the corners! I easily go to work with foundation and the special concealer they gave me. I'm not ready to use mascara. I don't feel like pulling in that area. I can tell that in a month I will look much better and that's really the time to weigh in on whether the procedure is worth it or not. My doctor has covered all the laser treatments as part of the surgery cost. A friend of mine had this surgery done over ten years ago (in her thirties) with the same doctor and she still looks great.

Thank you for sharing your experience and photos! I am considering upper bleph, but the lower bleph scares me a bit, as I already suffer with extremely dry eyes. Can you describe the sutures and procedures used on upper and lower? Were the incisions on your lower lids on the outside of the lid,and did the surgeon take out any fat or do a skin pinch? Thank you SO much for your help! I truly hope your healing progresses well.

Still Very Tired and Nervous Day 21

I would advise anyone who is contemplating this surgery to plan on a month of recovery time. It's certainly my fault for inadequate research, but I did not realize how tough this would be. My eyes gets so tired that I need to close them by 9 pm. I can tell I need another week of limited activity. I have to go to Miami on a business trip on Thursday and I'm concerned about my energy level and wearing makeup.

I had uppers, lowers bleph with and hard palate skin grafting to my lower lids and I did not have that much fatigue. I wonder if it has to do with the fat grafting?

I don't think so. I think we are wired differently and I have a very intense job and needed a vacation. I wasn't mentally prepared at all.
