Is 44 too young for a lower bleph?

[Anonymous]

I have eye bags and dark circles, and hooded lids. Is 44 too young for eye surgery to fix this? If I do it now will I need to do it again later?

No way. I had an upper bleph at 36, no regrets.

I did upper eyelids at the same age and I wish I had done it earlier. I had droopy eyelids and insurance covered it.

Question- I have lots of wrinkles in my lower eye area, that botox doesn't help because of the position (e.g. they're not crows feet). Does the lower bleph help with wrinkles?

Get it done now while you’re still young and you’re able to enjoy it.

How long did it take for you to recover? I need it done but also going to work in person full time....sigh.

I had a little bit of swelling and some bruising for 3-4 days. I used face ice pack on and off around the clock. I could have easily gone to work with makeup on day 5. I went to work on day 8 and no one really noticed.

My mother did this and had amazing results. She's never looked back. She did this in her 60's but I would imagine that the healing would have been quicker in her 40's.

Thanks for responding!

Who was your doctor? Would you recommend for upper blepharoplasty?

I had no idea what bleph now I am convinced I need upper bleph. What kind of doctor? Plastic surgeon? Price?

Who does fat transposition for the eye bags? I have tear troughs that will show up more if I get the bags removed, so I've been told by one doc. He recommends the fat pad be moved lower to fill in the trough/darker hollows, but he does not do that procedure.

I went to Dr Rostami in Reston. She did a great job on surgery but I wasn't super impressed with her office or her personality.

A friend just had surgery with Dr. Dunbar with Eye Specialist and Surgeons of Northern Virginia and highly recommended her.

No, since they don’t remove any skin. You can do laser to tighten the skin in the area. I was told that by a plastic surgeon, I didn’t do laser so not sure if it works.
