Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): What You Need to Know from a Johns Hopkins Expert

[@Setheskivias]

Your video is very informative. Your delivery is very nice and pleasant. Thank you!

I had my upper and lower 11 days ago!

[@chedbenacha2774]

I used to have a problem with my sight due to the excess skin on my upper eyes. This was a need to be done, not just for aesthetics. That's why I kept searching on the internet for the best doctors and hospital to do these kinds of operations and finally, I went from my country to Turkey, Istanbul directly to Natural Hair Turkey where their doctor ensured outstanding results. It was painless and the nurse put eye pads on my eyes to reduce swelling. After removing them, a blurred vision made me scared but they said it was normal. Fortunately, it was over in one day. The staff had a calming manner. All I can say is that the surgery changed the quality of my life. I see clearly. I recommend Natural Hair Turkey for these kinds of operations.

How much was the procedure please

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I told my sister that I also have puffy bags under my eyes and droopy upper eye lids but it is not interfering with my eye sight. At 78 I am fine with my eye lids the way they are. I don’t need to look younger.

[@JaneRobin34]

well guys I did the under eye surgery in Morocco and came back here after 2 days I took of the stitches in MGH Boston the doctor who took them was amazed, but I stayed 2 weeks out of work no one noticed it intel I tell them. It is a real success I'm going to do my lower next vacation. I wish I can do it here but the difference on cost is uge from 2000$ over to to 5000$ in here.

Thanks nice.

[@evelynbaron2004]

This was an excellent authoritative presentation. I watched, however, elsewhere the actual long-term true healing process which, in the case of a healthy young man whose appearance was part of his career, actually took 6 months. Also sleep propped up on myriad pillows to reduce bruising; stay out of the sun; it is not as simple a procedure as it may appear. As a woman in her 60s who wants to age gracefully I am thinking about this procedure -- costs vary depending where you live and RESEARCH your plastic surgeon; if you can have it done in hospital, all the better, but there have been some horror stories. My conclusion still sitting on the vanity fence; does anyone want to look like Jane Fonda at 80? That was truly spooky. Excellent work and a life of remaining fit, professional makeup and the voice of … an 80 yr old woman in Book Club. Made me rethink my options. Once again, excellent video.

The test is a field test. You look into an egg shaped machine with 1 eye closed at a time. You press a button each time you see a light. The examination they do eye test like when your going for glasses.

I want this soooo much and mine is genetic 🥺

[@june2420111]

I have to share for all the people watching this, if you have puffy under eye circles and discoloration, don't get plastic surgery. It leaves a hollow area underneath your eyes that looks darker and the creasing gets worse over time because without fat, guess what, there's loose skin and you get wrinkles fast! Looking back 5 years ago before my surgery, I looked so much better than I do now. When I tell my friends about the surgery they say, "I didn't even notice you had puffy eyes before" Sometimes you are your own worst critic. Now there's no solution and concealer can't cover wrinkles. Moral of the story: Just love yourself with what you have. Once you have plastic surgery you can't really go back to what it was before, you hate it, you have to live with it forever knowing you did that to yourself.

[@riti05100]

I agree completely. How was your experience

[@lovly2cu725]

NOT GENETIC IN MY CASE

[@setme4ree]

Botox (dysport) deformed my eye and now i need eyelid surgery in my 20’s. Its fucked. My eyes are deformed and upper lids. Dont choose it to treat anything it deforms you.

[@iarshintasudjana4382]

You re still beautiful Dr. May I ask the difference between upper blepharoplasty n double eyelid surgery?

[@JohnsHopkinsMedicine]

Hi, Thank you for reaching out. Upper blepharoplasty is performed through a cosmetic lid crease incision, upper eyelid blepharoplasty allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat to reshape the profile of the upper eyelid. The skin of the upper eyelid is very thin, which means the incision (hidden in the upper eyelid crease) heals with no visible scarring. The double eyelid surgery is another type of blepharoplasty.

Hi, I recently did an upper and lower blepharoplasty in Florida and the doctor made my eyes smaller by stitching the corners closed. I had it on May 9th and today is the 17th. I just got the stitches out. I liked my eye size and don't want small eyes. Is there anything I can do? You can see my pics on my Jeannie Jones Spagirl KZbin Blepharoplasty journal. I am scared. Please advise me.

Is it possible to loose your eye sight with blepharoplasty surgery????

I heard it is possible to go blind from having it done. I would LOVE to have it done, but just hearing there are some cases where someone can go blind has stopped me from having it done.

It's not worth the high risk! Exercise, get sleep and get optimal nutrition often. The odds that you can end up maimed for life are high. For real! Especially with lower bleph.

There's nothing crazy about a simple eyelid procedure. Crazy is when you continue with procedure after procedure in an attempt for perfection. Every single human being can choose couple small things they'd change to enhance their look.
