Am I Crazy? Booked for Eyelid/Brow Surgery

Droopy eyelids can interfere with eyesight as we get older. I know a lot of people who have had that done and it was covered by insurance. I plan on having it done when I am older.

If you want to do it, you should do it. Happy healing!!

I have a high deductible on my insurance so the uppers with my discount are actually going to be less than the deductible.

I thought you looked fabulous at the OH conference with your current lids and brow, but as someone who also thinks about getting my drooping upper lids done someday, I don't think you're crazy. A friend of mine had hers done and while she looked like a crime victim for a few weeks, the results long term have been great. Very subtle, but refreshed (which I think should be the goal of any facial plastic surgery).

Thanks! I agree that I just want to look refreshed (I don't want anyone to be able to know for sure). When I had my lower facelift everyone attributed the improvement to changes after weight loss. I figured the timing of this would make people think that retirement providing reduced stress and more sleep made me look better. I do trust my PS, as he has proved to me that he does great work without making people look "overdone".

I have not had this, but I know there is one in my future. Right now I'm doing the botox thing and Wednesday am scheduled for filler under my eyes.

I can't speak to the healing time, but just chiming in. I will be very interested in your progress.

I will post the good, the bad and the ugly!

go for it.

I'll have to second some of the responses on here; I had your procedures too and while Dermablend did hide the bruises my swelling was BAD. I lied and told my co-workers I'd had my deviated septum fixed (how original right??), but I'll tell ya - one colleague just kept staring at me - "I'll never get surgery if this is what happens" - tact obviously not being his number one quality.

So if you can figure out a way to either a) lie convincingly, b) avoid everyone entirely, or c) tell the truth, I'd say go for it!

eta: typo

Well you look great! Yes, I'm going to do it. I'll just have to hope that I don't look too scary at Christmas (11 days Post-op).

Good for you!

(and thanks).
