My Eye Surgery - Before and After

35 replies

WholiaRoberts · 06/09/2016 11:01

Just had my stitches out. I had surgery last Wednesday so still lots of swelling and bruising and healing to be done. Excuse the unkempt eyebrows lol.

Very happy with the results so far. So weird though, to see myself without the droopy eyelids and huge crack between my eyes; both have been there for around 20 years.

Anyway, a few of you have expressed an interest so here is a pic!

I'm really thinking of having upper eyelid surgery, but my job involves covering people if they're on holiday or off sick. I need to know on average how long I'd need off work. Also deal with the public and can't look like I've been attacked!

I can't believe how fantastic the results are - you still look lovely and natural. Did you tell people around you you were having it done, or are people now wondering where you went on holiday to make you look so great Grin

You look amazing , even with the swelling ! Good for you for having it done .

Was your surgeon Mr S*d ?

Love it, can I ask what surgery removed your "11"? Did the brow lift fix it or did you have muscles cut?

I'm also planning a droopy eyelid lift and a muscle cut for my deep line between my eyes. I have Botox at the moment which has been great but would rather a longer term solution.

That looks like an amazing result OP.
I have inherited my father's drooping eyelids and am contemplating an upper blepharoplasty.
Always reassuring to see an excellent real life example.

You look great! Thank you for sharing the photos. If you don't mind, would you send me the name of your surgeon? Is he in London by any chance?

Hope you keep recovering very fast!

I think it looks fab! I'd love to get mine done but I scar badly so I'm not sure it's worth the risk. Maybe one day!
On the other hand, if they could get rid of dark circles I'd remortgage my house and be first in the queue!
Hope you heal quickly Flowers

The bruising is further down the cheeks, out of shot.

Great result, and only last Wednesday? You can barely see the bruising.

Oh you've all made me feel much better. Thank you april. I feel very fortunate to have been able to have it done. But I also find it a bit odd lol. It's early days though and there is still lots of swelling (under my eye have gone from red to black to green and are now yellow).

My surgeon is very good. He has been President of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, and he teaches and is involved in examining too. And once a year he goes to Africa on a charity mission to operate on babies and children with cleft palate. I knew he would be good, but I really did my research.

Omg! Absolutely amazing, it looks fantastic!!!

So awesome that you posted this too!

I would probably want this in a couple decades myself! In fact I would love a very slight nose job like Blake Lively's right now, but it does worry me how it might turn out in case it went wrong which puts me off 😖

Very pleased for you op, I think people shall be queuing for your surgeon soon!

You look fabulous!

That's good surgery as it isn't about making you look young but making you look better. Worth the money and the pain!
