Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Left Me Looking So Much Younger!

I still remember days when I was young, looked fresh and beautiful. Pity but between then and now due to stresses of life, the difference is huge. I disliked the way I looked so much that I even started to avoid looking in the mirror.
I was never against plastic surgery thinking that people should do what would make them happy enough. And I wasn’t happy at all. I consulted with few surgeons and all of them suggested to get both upper and lower blepharoplasty but the surgeon I ended up with was with much better personality. The price difference wasn’t big, so I didn’t even think about it. I knew the likelihood of possible risks but trusted my surgeon and was confident enough in his professionalism and skills.
The most uncomfortable were the 3 days after my surgery. I didn’t feel any pain but my eyes were very swollen, so I could barely open them. Stitches were removed 7 days after the procedure and that was the worst moment in the whole recovery. Even though I applied ointment everyday as was prescribed, the stitches area was a bit dry which I guess made removing them a little painful for me.
Over the last couple of months my scars began to gradually fade away and by now they are hardly visible. And now I have no eyebags or droopy eyelids. No more sad and tired look. I don’t regret about proceeded surgery and very thankful to my surgeon Dr. Hyun Taek Lee, he did a great job!

You are beautiful. You do look much younger. But it looks like just your lower lids were done. Were the upper lids done?

thank you my dear! but can't you see how saggy the skin on upper eyelid was before the surgery?? I think the difference is quite noticeable.

I can definitely tell your lower lids were done but it still looks like you have a hood covering your eyelid on the upper lids. You do look refreshed and as long as your happy that’s what is most important!
