Had Upper Blepharoplasty Today - San Francisco, CA
I just had my upper eyelids done today. I did it...
I just had my upper eyelids done today. I did it because I felt I looked tired and didn't like the crepey skin on my eyelids. I just turned 47 I take very good care of myself I exercise everyday, but cant stop the aging process to the face.
I was so excited to finally have the procedure done. It was not painful, going to the dentist is worse in my opinion. I had the surgery done under local anesthesia and was very comfortable. I was given some pain medication for the weekend and my doctor told me to take it as needed. I did take one when the anesthesia wore off because my right eye was sore.
I do have some bruising and swelling, but that is to be expected. I will update my experience and post pictures.
Welcome to RealSelf, tlh18. How has your first week of recovery been? Hope you're doing okay. :)
Hi Sharon, I am doing fantastic! I get my stitches removed today. I still have some bruising, but this is fading. I was out and about the day after the surgery, with sunglasses on of course. :)
