((( HUG ))) A friend of mine did this and the results are amazing - a true eye-opener. Thanks for posting this, I think it is wonderful for women to get to see this and to dare to do this also!

Your eyes are amazing! I have auto-immune thyroid disease, and about 4 years ago, my eyes began to change both cosmetically and medically. After enduring 3 years of severe dry eyes, a staring appearance, and extreme puffiness in my upper eyelids, my surgeon finally went in and operated. I was never so happy in my life! Not only did the dry eye problems get better, but cosmetically things greatly improved. He has before/after pics of my eyes, and I'd forgotten how bad I looked until he reminded me a month post-op. My point is....sorry, I tend to ramble.....I knew how bad my eyes looked. I totally knew it. And loved ones kept saying that it really wasn't that bad. "Nobody else can tell." I appreciated their words, but I knew in my heart it wasn't true. All my life I'd been told my eyes were my best feature, so it was with great sorrow that I stopped wearing eye makeup of any kind, trying instead to wear nice lip gloss or blush to keep people from looking at my eyes. And what a relief it is to have *my* eyes back again. They're not perfect, the right one is a little droopy in the lid, but I couldn't be more thrilled to once again be wearing mascara and shimmery eye shadow! Bottom line for me is that if someone has a procedure to return them to a fonder version of themselves, go for it! P.S. Rockin' blog! Patty,

It's pretty perfect. Air-brushing is a great thing! :) I like March’s word for it, interventions. It’s pretty perfect.

If you can get by with lipo for the jowls, do that, it's much easier on you, and the two procedures together are short enough they can be done with a local. So no anathesia for these two together. If we had done anything else and gotten to more than like 2.5 hours, then they would have done the general, which I really wanted to avoid. She was great as far as giving me an amazingly relaxing drug cocktail ahead of time, about 30-40 minutes before surger, 3 mgs of Xanax, two Vicodin and some Phenergan to make sure I didn't get nauseous. Once that kicked in, I was awake, just drowsy and really didn't care what they did to me. I don't even remember the local being injected except in a really peripheral way. There was one time that the lipo got into an are that hurt, and I just went, ow, and she immediately injected me there. It didn't really even hurt that much, I just noticed what they were doing. You have to have a ride home, and I remember they let me order some Sushi for delivery, and apparently I ate the whole thing (starving!), but I really don't remember that very much. The next morning I woke up with puffy eyes, but I felt fine, no pain, just some soreness like after-exercise soreness. From what I can tell, the scar is going to fold right into the crease. From my reading, they say it fades a lot over time to a white scare, but some of that depends on your scarring history and if you use the scar creams religiously. I'll know more after the stitches come out Friday. But her skill at putting the stitches almost exactly in the crease are pretty amazing. :) I'll post pics next week so you can see for yourself how well that's going! Oh, thanks!
