I would change my rating to "Worth It," but I can't figure out how! To my doctor, I'm sorry about that! To readers, it was worth it :) My best to you.

A few thoughts...

Final analysis (unless something else happens) ... I am pleased with the results of my blethroplasty. Funny, since I didn't set out to have an eye lift at all! It just turned out that I needed one to help fix my eye unevenness, caused by my congenital eyelid ptosis and eyebrow ptosis. Nonetheless, I now have a crease and lovely shape to work with. This makes makeup fun! Also, I am pleased with my one-sided brow lift. I don't hurt anymore! Before the surgery, I always had tension in my forehead, and my muscles between my eyes felt like they were in a tight fist. No more of that! Now that the muscles on my sinking side have been "pinned up," they don't seem to need to work so hard to jack up my brow and lid and such. As a result, I have fewer headaches and less pain. This is a definite win. As far as the ptosis repair, my eyes are not entirely symmetrical, but I console myself with the fact that my vision is 100% again, and I still look much, much better than I used to (and due to the aforementioned makeup, I am able to do a pretty good job of disguising the unevenness that remains). This means I'm not afraid anymore that my face will cause me to lose career or personal opportunities, which was definitely on my mind before. In closing, I give this self improvement project an 85%. I do wish it wasn't so expensive and debt inducing, but I wouldn't have selected a lesser doctor, so it is what it is... In short, I'm glad I did it, and I'd do it again. It was with it. My best to you!

That looks nice! They look very symmetrical with makeup on.

Happy new year! Was I right or was I right? Those peepers are gorgeous. Makeup's a world of fun possibilities after bleph, isn't it? Have you been in to Sephora yet to get new techniques to go with your new lids, or is that modified cat eye just something you threw on:-)))? Hope you're having a ball with your hard won progress [RS bleep]

Thank you so much, Toni! Makeup is much more fun when you have an actually defined crease and lid! Unfortunately, I do still have two different size eyes, but it's easier to conceal than it used to be!
