This is a great surgery to have. Fairly common, not very painful and really improves your looks. I had this surgery about ten years ago in Virginia and am so glad I did. Some bruising and only took over the counter pain meds for a couple of days. I can see so much better and removing all that excess skin has made a real improvement in my appearance. Droopy eyelids run in our family. My mother had this operation in her 70s and wished she’d had it done earlier. My insurance paid for my operation because the degree of droop was so pronounced. Medicare paid for my mother’s operation for the same reason. I say go for it. Just be sure you get a good doctor with a great track record.
