I thought I should make a final update. It's been just a little over two weeks since my surgery and things are looking great! I no longer have any puffiness or redness under my eyes and I can confidently say that I wish I had done this a long time ago. If there is anyone in Vancouver who is considering getting eyebag surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. Buonassisi.

Why would not share your pics publicly with those on this thread? You didn't mind providing a good detail account of the post op process.

4th Day Post Op:
I'm beginning to notice a yellow tinge under my eyes. Other than that, everything looks pretty good. My swelling is completely gone, and I am no longer taking bromelain or any other herbal supplements.
Something else I'd like to share:
Prior to my surgery, I've always had puffy eye bags (genetics) and on top of that, I also have very thin skin. Unlike most people, the area under my eyes usually had a reddish/purple hue instead of a bluish or brown colour. My surgeon told me that he noticed alot of red blood vessels while he was operating on me and that he cauterized them all to see if it would improve the redness under my eyes. It has only been 4 days since the operation, but I already notice that the redness I've always had under my eyes is gone. I'm actually really surprised at how everything turned out. I thought the procedure would only address the puffiness under my eyes, but it also improved the redness.

3rd Day Post Op:
My swelling has been improving significantly. I woke up this morning with some residual swelling, but it has gotten smoother since then. Apart from my cold, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm still taking bromelain and Tian Qi to help with the bruising and swelling, and I sleep upright (almost in a sitting position).

I think eye surgery is best done on an awake patient because they can follow simple commands like look up and look to the side. This allows the surgeon to assess symmetry and whether the levitator muscle has been severed. I've had it both ways and prefer the wakefulness.

That makes sense NHaven, like I said I get queasy, so just the thought of it makes me shiver! ;)
So glad to hear you felt it was worth it!! I would love it if you would give us updates in a few months, as its really nice for people considering the treatment to hear how things go in the long run.
