34 Years and Need to Look More Awake These Days - Roseville, CA

About 3 years ago a doctor pointed out that my eyelids have started to droop and ever since then, that is all I notice! My eyelids became hooded as the years went by, especially when I smiled. This is something that is in my genes. My poor mother's eyelids come out past her eyelashes! So, we both decided to go in for a consultation together (this way I could show where I was headed). I took some time to research good facial doctors in the Sacramento area, and found Dr. Toft. He and his staff are amazing! He spoke with both of us about what he could do (free of cost!). Well, to make a long story shorter, I scheduled my eyelid surgery and mom scheduled her eyelid/face lift!!
PreOp: I was sent a booklet of information to go over. When I can in to the office for my pre op, they went over all this information with me. I felt comfortable and had all my questions answered. Jen, makes this process so much fun and easy!
Day of Surgery: I show up for my surgery already in a happy mood (they make you take a Valium 30 min. prior to your appt). The staff brought me back to the surgery room and got me into a gown. They placed an IV in and prepared me for my "happy juice". And let me tell you, this stuff made me so comfortable and loopy! From there, Dr. Toft came in, snip snip, sew me up, and I was good to go! Literally! The whole procedure took maybe a total of 20 mins!!! I rested for about 15 more mins after that, and was sent home. It was by far the easiest surgery I have ever encountered!
PostOp: Once home, I was religious about my frozen peas (20 mins on/20 mins off) for the first three days. This kept the swelling down and gave me no bruising. Nothing hurt so I didnt take any of my pain meds. I think the hardest part was sleeping propped up. On the 4th day I started to noticed that I was becoming very itchy. And by the 6th day, the itching had become unbearable and was keeping me up all night. Thank goodness my Post Op appt was the following day, because I found out I was have an allergic reaction to the ointment I was applying to the lids ;-/ Dr. Toft removed my sutures and said to discontinue the ointment. From that day forward, I have itched, hurt, bruised....basically, this is an easy process.
Results: I am so excited to see the end result, but so far I am very happy. Now, most people I talk to have said they don't see any different. But I have included photos that show differently. I will keep you all updated as I continue to heal!

Finally with some makeup! Still haven't applied eye shadow yet.
