Mid-40s. Had buried-suture double eyelid surgery 20 years ago After entering my 40s, my eyelids started drooping badly, and even when I drew eyeliner it didn’t show; by evening my eyes felt heavy The drooping on the outer corners of my eyes was severe, so my eyes looked triangular Because my eyelid drooping was so bad, I barely have any recent photos The attached pre-op photo is also from 3 years ago
I went to the clinic thinking of lifting my droopy eyes with a brow lift, but they recommended upper blepharoplasty and revision double eyelid surgery
Currently 23 days after surgery There is still some residual swelling My eyes look more intense, so it feels a bit overwhelming, but I’m trying to stay positive, thinking it’ll be okay once all the swelling goes down
For middle-aged people with severe eyelid drooping, if you’re going to have surgery, do it as soon as possible
This is a surgical review of a procedure pursuing reconstruction.
