WORTH IT$1,650
I'm a returning patient of Dr. Clariday, now 72 hours post Upper Blepharoplasty with Lower Lid CO2 touch up. Yick, sharp stinging, weeping and greasy after care for laser, however, I'm happy so far with being able to see my eyelids again! Wonderful nice staff, conscious sedation, and so far so good.

Ahhh, the swelling has improved, but oh that nasty laser touch up under my eyes is driving me batty. The vinegar soaks do WONDERS for the redness. My sutures still feel tight, and I've got some bruising showing up on the rims of upper lids. Key words-upper lids! So glad to have them back! Taking photos each morning to show daily progress.

PS on Cost of Upper Blepharoplasty
My cost was 1650.00 because I requested conscious sedation. The cost of the Blepharoplasty was only 1400.00. The reason I chose the sedation was for the touch up laser resurfacing under my eyes. However, by the time we got to that part, I was awake, alert and talking about the stock market with staff and Dr. Clariday. The zaps of the laser mostly just felt like short pin pricks.

Thank you! I will post daily until sutures are removed, and then post a pic with first time back in make up. After that, ill do weekly pics/updates with and without make up. I think it's important to understand that the complete results aren't fully appreciated until at least 6 months. I hope to include close ups of scars, and anything else that might be helpful to others trying to decide, or concerned with their own healing process. Besides all of that, I'm a nurse, and insist on details haha!

I agree, most people don't realize how long it takes to really see your results. Mine took more than 6 months. Thanks again- your review will be so helpful!
