My hooded eyelids had been an issue for me for a good 10 years. For the past few years in particular, my right eyelid drooped more than my left, making that eye look quite a bit smaller. I really wanted to have the procedure done before it got to the point that doing so would make a drastic change in my appearance. I still wanted to look like me, just not so tired! In December 2014, I decided to go for it! I did a ton of research, and considered going as far as NYC for the right doctor. Ultimately I decided to go with Dr. Charles Gaudet right here on the NH seacoast.

On 3/11/15 I had upper eyelid surgery in Dr. Gsudet's office under local anesthesia. I experienced very little discomfort during the procedure, and everything went smoothly. My recovery was pretty straight forward--little to no pain after the second day. Because of the bruising, I looked a thousand times worse than I felt! Honestly, the hardest part of the recovery process was having to sleep with my head propped up for the first week or two (no recliner).

I couldn't be happier with my results! I look like me, just well rested; my eyes almost 100% symmetrical now, and there's no visible scar at all! I'm so happy I did this for me!

Hi
You look so amazing. What a difference :) you have eyes.lol
I am also considering upper eyelid surgery but I am in the UK so for me its between Julian De Silva or Dominic Bray. I hope to have my consultation in December with surgery perhaps January. I have exactly the same problem, horrible hooded upper eyelids. I am 53 and have really noticed the skin drop in the last two years, its sitting on my eyelashes. You look so much younger and one can really see your eyes now.
Thank you for posting your review as it has helped me decide on having this op. I will post my review nearer the time. Wish me luck. :)
