I had my upper eyelid surgery done on 01/22/2015. I’m not going to lie, I was terrified. But in the end, the whole thing was so easy. I had my procedure done under local anesthesia in Dr. Patel’s office. At first I was a little nervous about being awake, but it was no big deal. I used my pain medication for the first couple of days, but after that, there was no need. There was minor discomfort, but they mostly itched quite a bit. I would suggest using ice as much as possible. Not going to lie.. I looked like I had been beat up by a heavy weigh boxer, but that was gone in one week. Now almost 9 months later, I’m beyond happy with my results. I would do the whole thing over again.

Wow! Your results look amazing! I also live in Utah and consulted with Dr. Patel regarding an upper bleph. He seems like a really great guy and surgeon. Do you mind me asking which other surgeons you consulted with?

Hi! Thank you. I visited with Dr. Saltz and he wanted to give me a brow lift. ummm. No! And I also met with Dr. Mark Taylor at the Gateway. Dr Patel was so honest and really took a lot of time explaining the look he wanted to achieve. A friend actually suggested him and I'm so happy!

Dr. Patel recommended a brow lift for me, as I have ptosis, and it would eventually cause my lids to droop again. I have visited with a few other surgeons: Richard Anderson, John McCann and Randal Swenson. They all say different things. It's hard to know what to do!! I'm glad you're happy with your results! You look so much more refreshed and you look younger :)

What was the worst part of the procedure? How long did it take? How long did you need to rest before going back to your normal routine?

The worst part for me was not being able to wash my face. I think the procedure may have been just over an hour long. I took a week of work but that was just because I wanted to keep it on the down low from my coworkers. And I worked out on the 4th day of recovery. It was really easy for me. Good luck!

Sorry to bother you with so many questions, but how long did it take for you to see the final result? Was there ever a time during the healing process when you were worried about what the outcome would be? Thanks!
