My Successful Eyelid Surgery Story

Hi everybody, I am 34 years old and I live in New York. I was depressed from my twenties about bags under eyes. It is hereditary running from paternal side. At last after lot of research I have opted blepharoplasty because I don't want to look tired and I don't want to go to parties.My recovery:Had stitches on both of my eye lids for about 10 days. Bruising and swelling used to occur for almost two weeks. There are many other complications , I can say I lived single day at a time.Now everything is alright.I love my results . I am very happy with the outcome. My dad is considering eyelid surgery after seeing my results.I will be ready to help anybody opting eyelid surgery.

I had my eyelid surgery done with Dr.Prasad. You can get more information at his site puffyeyes.com. Where are you from?

Do you know of places that perform eyelid surgery, pro-bono, by interns?  My heavy eyelids make it difficult for me to see, but I am on disability. Of course I could also use cheek implants...but that's dreaming.  If you don't provide these services, do you know a hospital that does?  My SSDI insurance, AARP Secure Horizons (see their website) will provide insurance in certain cases.
many thanks,
