Hated Eye Bags for 10 Years - Silkwood, AU

I under went a lower blepharoplasty for my eye bags. I was considering a transcutaneous lower bleph but due to the risks of scar tissue healing, lid issues I decided my risk tolerance was not that high. I went for a transconjunctival lower bleph with skin pinch and mid face fat transfer. My concern was that I was not taking the most rejuvenative approach but i wanted to er on the side of caution and I was very nervous as I don't really like change. But this bothered me for long enough. The process, for me was difficult I kept seeing issues and then felt very down wondering if I would look like myself again. Now I think I do but a new and refreshed version. I an posting my whole experience as I have found this site very comforting during the tough times and hope to help someone else out and thank you to the doctors who answered my questions in the early phase of recovery it gave me a lot of comfort along with the amazing staff at my surgeons office.

These are the surgery day pictures. I really didn't have any pain a little discomfort but I took the pain meds and sleeping tablets to keep myself rested.

Sorry my dates are all wrong I'm posting all my experience all at once. I had surgery 13th September 2016. These pictures are my first week bruising wasn't too bad but my swelling was quite a lot. I think for me I was not expecting my eyes to look so weird and towards the end of the first week I was getting very anxious about regretting surgery. However apparently this can happen. At this stage I was freaking out that my lids were away from my eye and thick - but of course I only had surgery 1 week ago but it's hard to believe it will be ok.
