I am almost 55 years old and had upper and lower eye surgery. My eyes were getting very tired looking with sagging skin over the eye and a hollow look under my eye. I have lost a lot of weight in the past 10 years and its taken a toll on my face. I am hoping for a more refreshed look and not to look so tired. I am just 3 days out of surgery and looking very scary with my eyes barely open and my whole face swollen . My doctor tells me this is normal.
The surgery its self was more painful then it should have been with the last 10 minuets the nova cane was waring off and felt a lot of it. instead of the doctor stopping and making things more comfortable for me he decided to let me tough it threw , stating we are all most done but almost was more then it should have been. not a good experience at all.

Thanks for writing a review on RealSelf, I hope you continue to provide updates so we can follow your healing journey. I wouldn't worry about how you look right now- the first week is the worst. You won't see your real results for six months (I didn't see mine for eight!). Be patient, I know it is hard.

6 months? Really? why does it take so long, wow. is it just the eyes that take so long or is this also true with a partial face lift. really thinking twice about that. maybe I should just do the boe tox injections, any one with any advice ? I would love to hear it.

Six months for eyelid surgery, I'm not sure about a facelift. It seems like a simple surgery but your body takes a while to heal. You will look "normal" after a couple weeks, but you will notice inconsistent swelling day to day for the six month period. It will be subtle though.
