| I'm PP with the water challenge --- I'm trying to drink 1 gallon of water a day for the next 30 days. Its the only change I'm consciously making. Will follow normal habits for exercise and food/coffee/alcohol but I want to see what happens. Pics online look like skin and eye bags improve, maybe a little weight loss. Curious how it impacts my body and habits. So far, I pee a lot! |
| About 12 years ago i was unemployed and watching Dr Oz and he had a guest, maybe a nutritionist who talked about an anti inflammatory diet that if you ate only certain foods for a weekend you would see immediate improvement in your under eye bags. It was a mini challenge and it worked. I cant find a clip online but I remember grilled salmon, chicken and spinach. A lot of water, no dairy, alcohol or added salt. Far fetched but does anyone remember this? I was younger so it wasn't a concern but I remember the guests had positive results. |
| I actually called Dr. Guy Massrey, a famous California oculuplastic surgeon, earlier this spring, and asked him if he had recommendations in this area. He recommended Zatazalo in DC and Swarcz in NY. I’m going to book a consult next year. |
| Most are between 3-4K per area. So if you were doing an upper and lower bleph you’d be looking at 6-8k depending on difficulty. And then more if you throw in a brow lift of course. |
| If you’re in your 40s and developing real eye bags, it’s fat migrating down and skin becoming more lax. No amount of water or eye cream or cucumbers is going to make it go away. When you get a blepheroplasty, they remove the fat or they reposition it. |
Please stop talking sense on this forum. We will not tolerate it. |
but also, here is an image of what i mean: |
| Bumping thread. Any new reviews on Dr. Bair? |
| Dr. Blair did my lower and I will forever be grateful to her. |
He did my upper bleph and I’m very happy with it |
She did my upper bleph and I did not have a good experience. There are visible scars and her bedside manner isn’t good. She was rough, dismissive and harried. Not happy with it at all. |
| ^^ yikes. I was going to include her on my list for a consultation. What reason did she give for the poor outcome? |
I had a consultation with Dr. Zatazalo and loved him. He is easy to talk to, honest about what he thinks and NOT -salesy. But, also not cheap! I think lower was about 6k and upper a little less. So, you'll be in for 12k+ after fees and anesthesia. |

Can you do lower bleph with just local anesthesia? That will lower the price quite a bit.
I did upper bleph about 10 years ago ( in SF) and it was $2500, in office with just a local. Aside from the reduced cost, I like to avoid anesthesia when possible. |
| I did upper bleph at a surgical center withRostami in 2021- it was $4500. If I was to do it again- I would totally have it done it the office and save money. I was sort of awake and it was a breeze. I did not love Rostami but she was a good surgeon. It is the best thing I have done for myself. |
