Three winters ago, I had a consultation for lower blepharoplasty at a clinic, but I didn’t have the courage, so I put it off. I had forgotten about it, but recently I looked in the mirror and really hated how aged I looked. So I gathered my courage again and had the surgery. Will it hurt? What if my impression changes? I had a mountain of worries like that, but surprisingly... they were all unnecessary. Dual lower blepharoplasty felt about as light as a minor procedure? The swelling and bruising weren’t severe, so I wore a mask and went to work right away, had the stitches removed after 1 week, and by 2 weeks, people around me could hardly tell. After the stitches were removed and the swelling went down, the tight pulling sensation inside my face was quite strong. I kept slathering on eye cream frequently, worked hard on home care, and applied under-eye patches every single day. Now that it has been two months, my face feels firmer overall, the tightness has almost disappeared, and I’m satisfied. If middle-aged people are considering it, I think it’s okay to gather courage for the sake of restoring your self-esteem.
