Tired Eyes Needed a Lift

After living with eye bags from being a teenager I finally plucked up the courage to do something about it. I read up as much as I could about the process and more importantly the surgeons. I was looking for professional reviews on surgeon success rates but instead had to rely on patient reviews. I chose to have a free consultation at the Spire, Elland. I discussed my wishes and hopes with a surgeon who advised that my lower eye bags could be reduced but intimated this was not easy. He recommended I have a further consultation with Mr Mahajan. I read as many internet reviews on Mr Mahajan as I could find and all were good. I met Mr Mahajan for an initial consultation when he advised of the procedure and confirmed that I should see good results. Importantly he recommended that I should consider having my upper eyelids lifted as this was much easier and would give a better outcome. The consultation was charged but deducted from the operation fee if I went ahead. Mr Mahajan was very calm and everything he said gave me confidence in his ability and I agreed to go ahead. I fixed a date and the hospital kept in touch. The operation was performed as booked and was painless. I had to wait a week to remove the stitches and strips to see that the upper eyelids looked better already but the lower eye bags were swollen and slightly bruised under my left eye. Mr Mahajan seemed disappointed to see the bruising; I guess that was professional pride. He advised to massage the lower eyes but I developed a blood blister on the sclera of the left eye, which was irritated with the massaging. The blister slowly disappeared and the eyes settled. Four months on and I am delighted with the results. The bags are not gone but they are much less pronounced and several friends have commented very favourably. You quickly get used to how you look but I only need to look at old photos to see the big improvement. I am very happy with the entire process start to finish and can recommend Mr Mahajan.
