$2,400
I'm going in this Friday for a lower eye lift. The fat bags have doubled in the last 6 months.
I was hoping for a full lower and upper but the Dr. Advised against it for now. I'll post a before and sometime next week an after :)
I was pleasantly shocked at the price. After 6 consultations around town here in Tulsa, the average cost is only 2,400. I had the mommy makeover 3 years ago which was 15,000. Middle America seems to be a less expensive place for surgery. I have priced CA and FL doctors as well which were close to double for the eye surgery and about 30% more for the mommy makeover.

Before and post one day surgery
This was far more painful than I thought. The swelling really is bad regardless of the ice packs every twenty minutes. My eyeballs itch terribly as well but I, of course, can not touch.

How are you feeling today? Is the swelling/pain worse or any better?

The pain is nearly gone. The swelling has doubled. I'm continuing to ice and not lay down. Very swollen!

How are you feeling now? Has the bruising and swelling gone down? Looking forward to your final pics!

I think you look really good. I am getting this done before the years end. I will be put under
as well. You said it was painful, do mean following the surgery? I assume you didn't feel anything during? I would think the first few days would be uncomfortable. I have read some peoples comments & they say it wasn't bad. Kinda thought they were just lucky!
No doubt you must be completely better by now!?

It was sensitive to touch right after and it wasn't an unbearable pain.... But it wasn't comfortable by any means. Lasted a week or so. Now the pain is only if I run my eyes.... Like an "I'm exhausted" run with my finger. Or if I take off my sunglasses and rub my eyes. It's a dull pain. He said it would be there for a year. Nerves are rewiring so to speak :)
Good luck to you!
Good luck to you!

Thanks so much for your reply! Glad everything is working out for you. I can live
with the pain if it turns out as good as yours did! Take care...

The swelling has doubled. The pain is nearly gone. The stitches are starting to itch and bother me.

Did you take arnica pills 3 days prior to surgery to reduce bruising plus bromelain pills which are supposed to reduce the swelling? Arnica cream is also supposed to help also when applied to the skin to speed up bruising. I just learned that recently but have never tried it myself but will try when I get a dental implant which does tend to swell up the face with possible bruising. I must say you do look good for just 4 days post op and in another week you will be delighted with the outcome and will look seriously gorgeous.

And my stitches were along the bottom eye lid and two in the corner. Easy to take out after about a week. I look so much better and no scars!
Very pretty btw, and mine are worse than yours.
