Upper Eyelift Surgery - had it done a year ago

I had one done about three years ago. What happened is that when doing cataracts they had somehow stretched it down. The op was fine and they “matched”- eyes that is. Made me feel so much better. I expect you did as well. Well done.

My goodness what a difference. I am like your before picture and have considered it, but will probably settle for the status quo.

I too have had upper and low lid surgery, must be over twenty years ago now, one of the best things I ever spent money on.

It’s the only cosmetic surgery I would consider. It was very successful for you. You look much younger even though we can only see a bit of you

What a fantastic result, bcl.

I was actually offered this at the glaucoma clinic, to improve peripheral vision.

I had this done many years ago, it was the best thing i ever did
I had bells palsy a few years later and one eye ended up looking smaller than the other,which i hated
Two years ago my optician did a peripheral eye test on that eye and referred me to the Dr suggesting an eyelid lift
My Dr referred me to the hospital, and i had to have the test
9 months later i had what they classed as a browlify, as the did it from under the brow,
I know it wasn't done for a cosmetic reason, but it is so good now,i was thrilled, and not even a scar , the stitches were dissolving ones
I had spoken to the Dr i see for glaucoma tests and he asked why my eye was smaller and seemed half closed.it was him who suggested seeing the optician in the first place
I told him jokingly and said i would like to have it corrected but would have to save up,
He said oh don't pay for it we will do it, couldn't believe a Dr would ever say that
The surgeon who did the op was a lady,and she said sometimes they drop again, if it does come back and we will do it again
So anyone having problems with peripheral vision, ask your optician to refer you

My husband had this done just over 12 months ago. His eyes were like little slits and the improvement is great. He also has far less irritation from his eyelashes. His was done as a day surgery and within a couple of weeks all was healed.

Fantastic before and after photos. My aunt and my cousin had it done and I think I need it too.

Excellent result - you must be very pleased.

It's something I've considered.

I would like a neck lift. I used to have a very full face, which slimmed down as I got older. Unfortunately leaving me with bad turkey neck. I hate it and at times it is even uncomfortable.

I wouldn’t even know where to begin with my aged face. Sometimes it really upsets me how wrinkly/lined am but then I do the count your blessings thing as I am pretty fit and healthy bar a bit of arthritis!

My eyelids are extremely drippy & in photos I look as if my eyes are closed. I hate it. My optician said as long as I can see ok I wouldn’t get it done on the nhs. But would have to go privately. I assumed it would be too expensive. About what sort of price are we talking about?

Droopy not drippy! Flipping predictive text.

It costs about £4,000 in a private hospital and was done by a leading surgeon - that includes an overnight stay and it was done under general anesthetic. I had a cooling eyemask all through that first night, which was attached to circulating water set at a certain temperature and had no bruising whatsoever as a consequence. The surgeon said it's the one thing surgically a woman can do that makes the most difference aesthetically.

Gosh, I'd love to have it done. My eyelids are do droopy I have to open them with my fingers when I wake up ?

AND apparently I can't see my keyboard either.

so not do

I had mine done, top lid and under eye nearly 20 years ago. Cost about £5000 with an overnight. Eyelids were very heavy but didn’t think I might get help on the nhs. The Surgeon said he had never taken so much excess skin. It healed very quickly and still looks ok even after all this time. For me very worth while with no regrets. For the first time in years I could actually wear eye shadow. I still can.

It's the one thing I could be tempted by.

Deedaa having met you I would never have thought you needed to have it done. But for the same reason I’m following this thread, my eye consultant (glaucoma) suggested it once but I tarried too long.

I would love to have it done. All the females on my fathers side of the family had very droopy eyelids and I have inherited it. My opticians never mentioned it and I’ve had eye surgery for something else but that was with a local anaesthetic . I’m terrified of having a general.

I was so glad I had it done with an expert in eye surgery as it turned out I had a prolapsed tear gland, which I never even knew I had! He sewed that back in place at the same time. It has really improved my pheriphial vision too. The healing can take longer than you think and a proper end result takes about a year.

Burmesecatlover I am considering having this done and like you have found it difficult to get good advice.
Can I ask you where you had yours done, and the name of the specialist.
You look fabulous ?

I’m rather sceptical about cosmetic procedures, but must admit yours looks very successful. Excellent result you look good ?
