  • Plastic surgery can be a hot topic, but today I want to share my experience with Blepharoplasty surgery. A Blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids. After discussing with my doctor how this was affecting my eyesight, we both decided that this surgery would help with my peripheral vision. It was an "easy" surgery with minimal pain that I could handle with some Tylenol. I'm happy and pleased with how it looks as well as how much it helped with my sight!

      @@BethDjalali I had it 2 weeks ago, but strictly for cosmetic reasons (in conjunction with a face/neck lift). Just curious, how long did the lid tightness, lid numbness & residual swelling take to totally clear up? I still have all 3 but know I'm only 2 week post-surgery. Just curious what your experience was...I've heard anything from 3-4 weeks, to 4-6 weeks to 3 months.

    I had the same surgery earlier this year on upper eyelids only. My vision was better the moment he told me to open my eyes. I couldn’t believe it! I was awake during the procedure but never felt a thing. He wanted me awake so he could do his best to ensure I could close my eyes. Recovery was about the same as you described. I just turned 60. It’s wonderful to put on mascara and eye shadow and not have it bleed under my eyes! I would do it again in a heartbeat. My insurance would only pay for upper eyes.

    I had never heard of blepharoplasty until this year and this is the 5th time in as many months. Starting with my friend from high school. Her eyelids were severely droopy. The muscles had weakened so much that blinking was a concerted effort. One day she got into a car accident because she didn’t see the red light due to the heavy lids. Hers was a 2 step process. They had to reattach the muscle of the lower band to the upper lid. Maybe that’s what you did all at once but she had to wait 2 months before they removed the excess skin from the upper lid. The swelling in one eye wouldn’t subside so they had to so it again which thankfully was successful. Since then I have had 2 neighbors do this. Another neighbor, a man, just cancelled his procedure because he would have to be off of his arthritis meds pre op which would be debilitating. His arthritis is a greater concern so he prioritized mobility over his eyes.

    Well, I’m hoping my eye doctor says I need it. I know my upper lids are bad. And I have bags under my eyes. I’m a pro at surgeries. I had five surgeries in five years. But it’s been four years since I’ve had one. And I wouldn’t be thrilled for another one. In fact, one of my doctor’s I went to after my first surgery asked me about the fat above my right eye. He asked me if I had it before the surgery. And I really didn’t know. But I do have very hooded eyes. I remember my husband’s aunt talking about having that kind of surgery years ago. She said they would put staples in. She never had it done. I know my vision is fine. I had a pituitary tumor pressing on my optic nerves, and it affected my vision. I found out the days before I turned 54. And it was a scary surgery. But no pain whatsoever. The other surgeries I had after that were very painful. I think a lot depends on the doctor. The surgeon who did my tumor surgery said you can do anything with drugs. And he was definitely right. He was one of the top surgeons in the area where we lived.

    I have had upper eyelid blepharoplasty twice. Both times were a good experience with no complications. I think the reason I needed it a second time was my surgeon was very conservative in how much skin he removed since I also already have dry eye syndrome. I have noticed that my incision line this time has taken longer to lighten up and thin out. It has been five months. But I definitely noticed a change in my vision both times. As surgery goes, this is not a bad one. My advice would be to make certain that the surgeon is certified in orbital and Oculoplastic surgery. My sutures dissolved

    Beth before you have any type of Plastic Surgery on your face two weeks before you have the surgery start taking large doses of Calcium with Magnesium which comes in liquid form if you prefer and Vitamin C at least 12K of Vitamin C and follow the instructions on the container for the Cal-Mag then add another dose. Most Plastic Or Reconstructive surgeons know about this combo before and after surgery . If you take these I can promise you that you will have little bruising afterward and will heal much faster. My best friend had one of the first Health Food stores here and she had a lot of Plastics done but you would never know it and we both have fair sensitive skin. She was a blonde and i am blonde with a lot of natural red in my hair. We both healed quickly from our Plastics with almost no scaring. Just tuck this away for any future Plastics, Trust me it really works.

    Hi Beth, I wanted to share another type of eye "surgery" that is less invasive. It's called "non-surgical Blepharoplasty". I'm 62 and had it done March 2022. It was done in a clinic by a plastic surgeon. So important to go to a surgeon ONLY. I'm very happy with my results. I wish I could attach before and after pictures but no way to do that here. At age 50, I noticed my eyelids "disappeared." I can wear eyeshadow & mascara again. Recovery time was a week for the scabs to fall away. A few months until normal eyelid color returned. It's very important to avoid the sun when healing and use a non-stinging SPF on eyelids for at least a month. My out of pocket cost was under $1000 including follow up visits. Yes, it wasn't pretty for the first week in recovery - even scary. But worth it! No scarring, no stitches, no pain. I should mention that it took under one hour (+ 45 minutes for numbing cream) and I drove home 90 minutes away immediately afterwards. Although better to have someone else drive!
    I also do microneedling RF at the same clinic. I've had Botox but too late for me for it to make a difference. That's the extent of my procedures. Hope this helps someone considering Blepharoplasty 🤩

I don't wear makeup to cover anything either so I have to take that into consideration. There might be less invasive things I can try...I'll talk with the surgeon again, we'll see!

    I had similar surgery done in August as well. The initial purpose was to repair the muscle on the lower right eyelid, which was shot, resulting in the eyelid turning inward and the lashes irritating the eyeball. That was miserable! When I went to the eye surgeon, I asked about my upper lids, which were impeding my vision dramatically. She lifted both upper lids and repaired the muscle on the lower right lid but left the lower left lid alone. Shortly after the surgery, the lower left lid started to turn in as well, and I now am having that repaired in early December. If I'd have looked as good as you post-op, I'd have been thrilled! I was a mess, but I don't regret that one bit because I can see so much better. My eyes have genetically large bags below them, which I would have to pay to have repaired, so that's not happening because of the expense; however, friends and acquaintances comment on how much more open my eyes appear.Thanks for sharing! I sent photos to my closest friends and kids but could never have shared with others. You look amazing!!!

    Sometimes an upper Blepharoplasty is necessary because the lid becomes so relaxed that it becomes a screen over the eye!!

    I had a lower blepharoplasty for eye bags. These are caused by fat prolapse. They weren't extreme, but I knew from family where they were headed. Didn't make me me look "young" (as young people can have bags), but certainly refreshed.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m having a lower blepharoplasty and an a endoscopic brow lift the first of Jan. My Dr said I needed a brow lift instead of a upper blepharoplasty. I’m a little anxious about the brow lift after making a mistake watching utube videos of the surgery. This is off topic but I am considering ordering Lagos watch band and notice you have one. Is your band the stainless steel or sterling silver? I have a bracelet and love it. Thanks

Mine is vision driven too and I’m also including the lower eyes too. You look so fabulous both before and after that I’m hoping for the best. Did they tell you to eat 1 cup of pineapple for 3 days prior? Everyone here including the doctor told me to do that. Says it helps with healing faster. BTW…I’m 71

I started to have problems w my vision and I will see an ophthalmologist very soon but idk if I will be referring for that type of surgery. I also don’t like the skin drooping in my neck, it started to show more that I’m turning 73. Thank you for giving me courage and enthusiasm to check on this! ❤🙏🏽

Don't expect miracles...just better.

    9 days out here. Eye lids a bit red vs bruised I guess but getting better. Right eye bruising underneath much less. Right is gone. Have some concealer on as I am out and about. First 3 days hardest ( surgery day was fine). I think I reacted to Eruthromycin ointment. Better when I stopped. Dry eyes my biggest complaint. Switched from drops to gel drops or ointment. Hope this gets better. Still have swelling but better every day
