I am 43, lost a lot of weight recently and noticed the loss of fat in my face caused my eyelids to sag, orbital area to look gaunt and the act of applying makeup a nightmare while lifting up loose skin folds. I just had these procedures done a few days ago by a well- known surgeon in Cape Town South Africa. I live in another country so I guess this could be seen as medical tourism. I have been surprised at how painless this has been and have been impressed with the professionalism and artistry of the Surgeon. He is known for a conservative approach with natural looking results. I will update with photos as recovery progresses so let's see how it goes. If the results are what I expect I will very likely be using this surgeon to correct loose skin issues from my weight loss in the future.

He has a great reputation, professional but warm manner and his staff are lovely. I had heaps of tricky issues trying to organize things long distance and they were extremely helpful. His after care instructions were right on the money and his discussions of aesthetics and medical concepts in lay man's terms very easy to follow. I have yet to see the fruit of his labours ( 6 months to really see all results was his comment so will update) but so far I am confident he is an artist of the highest calibre.

Stitches out!

My stitches are out, wasn't that painful- having my eyebrows threaded was worse! Doc is happy with my healing, however one eye is more swollen than the other so I'm a bit lopsided. Bruising yellow but almost gone.

Day 7

A week has gone by, and today things are MUCH more healed up, less pink, less bruised or swollen. Still got the one more swollen eye and it feels a bit scratchy.

Wow, you look great! I can definitely see an improvement already. Your doctor did a wonderful job and you seem to be healing nicely, with very little swelling or bruising.

Thanks TerriKB - I researched a lot before choosing this surgeon and have seen his work on other people. I also think icing a lot the first couple of days really helped.
