I did it! I finally did it!
I had my eyelids done.
And I do not have that look of perpetual surprise. I do not look weirdly alert.
The bruising is almost gone. The swelling is almost gone. I always heal fast so I am.
I am still doing the frozen peas routine, just not as often. Longer than the instructions said though. And although I guess I do not have to sleep propped up now that the week is over, I probably still will for a few more days. (I think I must be trying to be one of those over-achiever types.)
By the weekend, I might be ready to nonchalantly appear in public. Wearing sunglasses to social things indoors though might just look suspicious.
I think I am supposed to wait a month before I am allowed to put on mascara and eyeliner. I will know for sure next week at the post-op visit. Anybody reading this want to volunteer how long they had to wait to put on a little eye makeup?
It looks like my only regret will be that I did not do this sooner.
I did not do this in TV. I am in my hometown right now where I know the territory and could ask at least 5 people who to go to.
But I thought maybe others here might want to share their blepharoplasty experiences and recommendations. Nobody can see us here so nobody can scrutinize the work. I love being anonymous on TOTV.

I had mine done about 5 years ago, and I'm very pleased. Hooded eyes run in my family, and because I use makeup every day, it was getting increasingly difficult for my eyes to look "normal."
As I remember, I was able to use eye makeup as soon as the incisions healed. I had them done in NJ, before we moved here permanently. It was done in the doctor's office, took about a half an hour, and I was on my way home. Easy peasy. I'm still pleased with the way they look.
Good for you! It took me a while to work up the courage.
