i'm having my upper bleps (eyelids ) done next week. Im worried they will make my eyes look odd, also that they wont take enough skin off and it wont look any different.
Will i get any pain soreness or bruising afterwards ? Would like some advise, thanks

Hi. Hasn't your PS given you some information about what to expect after? It can vary based on technique used and things like your age. Anyway, you will be bruised and swollen and may have trouble closing eyes all the way for a while. If that happens the doc will probably give you eye exercises to do (pulling down lid or squinting and stuff like that). Your uppers can turn very red along the edges too. They'll probably be puffy for 2-3 weeks or longer but uppers seem to heal quicker than lower. You'll have scar lines around the crease area which can get red and bumpy and take 4-5 months to smooth out--mine are just fine flat white lines now after 5 months. You can certainly go out for walks in 2-3 days wearing sunglasses. Just be sure to follow all instructions he/she gives you

Hi I had my eyes done last year. I was scared too but excited. You will look like a boxer who lost the match and you won't want to leave the house for almost a week and then with dark glasses. I was given drops for the eyes and ointment for the stitches. I had no problem closing the eyes, no puckering, and some discomfort but certainly tolerable. It actually was pretty exciting as I could already see what a great job my doctor did. She really did and I am thrilled. It's so fun to put eyeliner on and not have it be a jagged line because of the wrinkles. I look so much better rested and younger. Anyway, the first two days, it just felt better to sit on the couch with my eyes closed and listen to the tv or music. Good luck.

I would check into actipatch. I know it is available in the UK through the consulting room.

Hi,
I had them done. oh wow I looked like i been fighting in the boxing ring for about 5 days. But im almost a wekk in now and the swelling is almost gone, its a little sore on one eye where they had to remove a little more skin.
My surgeon has put me on antibiotics for 5 days as she felt one side was a little lumpy and red and sore looking. I have stopped wearing sunglasses now as the public were thinking im nuts going out with glasses on in dark gloomy December.
But im delighted with how my eyes look, i look more awake and i have a crease so that i can now wear eye shadow nicely, for the first time in years.
It was well worth doing, and i would advise anyone to have it done, just be prepared to be a bit swollen and sore for a few days after. But really it is nothing. :)
