Hi all!
I had my consult with Dr.Gaudette today. I'm happy I found someone local with experience. All the staff was super helpful. They truly made me feel welcome. I explained I could only do certain dates and they rearranged the schedule for me!! I will need to go for my pre op. Any advice for this upper bleph. I am beyond nervous because all you take is ativan. I'm not sure how I feel about being awake...

Ask about fat removal in the upper lid and near inner eye. Also, make it very clear to your surgeon the look you are trying to achieve. Ask about eyebrow position and whether this can affect asymmetry of the lid. You will be fine with just a local. Good luck.

Fat removal, I thought that was what the upper bleph was? I'm confused. Lol I told him I wanted that saggy skin gone!!

Really wondering if I jumped the gun. I'm so paranoid to go through thid and charge it... I'm such a picky person that I fear I won't be happy. I'm really worried about a bad visible scar. That was something I hadn't thought of prior..

Did you see his before and after pictures? Make sure you are in the same page with expectations. Many drs have different approaches and that makes it confusing.

I totally understand all the emotions that get triggered with this decision. I think it is very wise to take your time and keep looking at this and other sites about this procedure. I also will be getting an upper and lower bleph at some time in the near future. I search and read the entries and questions and answers about this.
One thing that stands out is having as little fat/fullness removed from the upper eye in order to avoid a 'hollow ' look that is the opposite of youthful....
I feel I have to keep checking my anxiety when it pushes me to make a decision until I feel comfortable in my choice...and know clearly what I am asking for...Good Luck Sweetheart!

Go in and take pictures of what you are looking for. I had an upper bleph 10 years ago, and the surgeon didn't care to look at younger pictures of myself (big red flag), and he really changed the shape of my eye. Make sure you know exactly what you want. If you want a younger you, take in pictures from when you were younger. Ask about the crease shape. I always had a flat crease, but now my crease is arched. Many surgeons do a one size fits all, but everyone has different shaped eyes, so the cut should mirror your original crease. Sometimes it's not a matter of cutting the skin, but revolumizing the upper lid. I'm going in to have fat transfer to the upper lids soon, to try to flatten or straighten my upper crease. Good Luck!

Scarring is not the only thing to worry about. Make sure you see pictures of work he's done. My surgeon used ancient practice of removing fat and skin. So when I requested conservative and showed a picture it still was not clear. I have two different shape eyes now, one eye without crease and hollow. The shape of your eyes can change. I'm so depressed depressed. You pay $ to look better not look worse and older. Just please please be careful. I really don't think you need the surgery. Your eyes are not bad at all. Best wishes
