It has taken me about 2 years to pluck up courage to have my hooded eyelids reduced, and I have done some considerable research into which surgeon should carry out the procedure!
I finally chose Mr. Sultan Hassan, and have already had a consultation with him at The Dermaskin Clinic, Cardiff. He was absolutely fabulous and very down to earth.
I now have a date for my surgery and it is Monday 19th May 2014............just 6 more sleeps!!!!!
Petrified..... Yep, but also excited, as I have been very conscious of my 'tired look' for a number of years! Since my consultation with Mr Hassan, I have read online that there is a procedure which can be carried out the same time as the eyelid surgery to inhibit the frown lines between the eyebrows ie 11's!! This is where the corrugator muscle, which is one of the muscles that you use when frowning, is cut through, and so inhibits the ability to frown!!! Similar to Botox but a more permanent solution!
I am still considering the corrugator resection, and would love to hear from anyone that may have had this surgery whilst undergoing upper eyelid surgery!

With only three days to my upper eyelid surgery.........

With only three days left to go until I have my upper eyelid surgery, I have now decided to have my lower lids done at the same time!!
A crazy and maybe impulsive decision to make at this late stage, but I feel that an upper blepheraplasty alone would not relieve me of my 'tired' look!!
As I do not have a lot of fat below my eyes, I am unable to undergo the procedure that I was hoping for..... ie performed inside of the lower lid, hence no scarring!
Instead, there will be an incision just below the lower eyelashes which will result in a small scar, which hopefully will be unnoticeable when I'm able to apply mascara!!!!!!
Scary, but I thought well if I'm going to do it then just as well have both done the same time and get it over with!!!

Surgery Postponed until mid June......

I have now decided to have both upper and lower eyelid surgery instead of just upper as originally planned!
This means that my original surgery date ie Monday 19th May has now been postponed, and I am waiting to arrange a date for mid June due to the fact that I will be having intravenous sedation instead of local!!
Disappointed but I quite understand!

lola22, Hi can I ask what made you decide on Sultan Hassan. I'm only asking as I'm in same situation, have been contemplating blepharoplasty for ages, I've been for one consultation in Birmingham but pulled out a couple of weeks before surgery as I got really scared about scarring risks:(

Hi Lola,
The main reason for choosing Sultan Hussan is that I have not seen any negative reviews regarding his work, on the contrary, if you read any reviews from patients, they all state how impressed they are with the outcome of their surgery, and the brilliance of Mr. Hussan as a cosmetic surgeon. I remember seeing him on TV a couple of years ago carrying out surgery on a patient that had lost an enormous amount of weight. The surgical procedures included breast reduction, tummy tuck, and surgery to remove loose and sagging skin. The results were amazing, and he always stuck in my mind as a brilliant cosmetic surgeon.
It has taken me two years to pluck up courage to undergo eyelid surgery, and when I suddenly decided to go ahead, I had no hesitation but to contact Sultan via Elite Surgical! I had an initial consultation with him at Dermaskin Cardiff a few weeks ago, when we discussed upper eyelid surgery, and having decided just a week ago that I was considering lower eyelid surgery also, I was offered a second consult free of charge with Sultan at the Cardiff clinic where he discussed and explained the procedure to me simply and sympathetically!
I have now decided to go ahead with both upper and lower blepheraplasty, and I think the date for surgery is the 16th June!!!!
Did you have a consultation with Sultan yourself?
Be sure to drink lots of water these next few days! Can't wait to hear how it goes :)
