Before undergoing eyelid surgery or any cosmetic procedure, ask yourself if you are trying to please yourself or somebody else. It is ill-advised to have surgery if your primary goal is to attract a mate, please your husband, or land a new job. It is likewise unrealistic to expect an eyelid lift to make you look like your 20-year-old daughter or give you an entirely new face.
The most appropriate reason to have an eyelid-lift is to feel better about your appearance and perhaps to boost your self-esteem. Keep your expectations realistic, and you probably will not be disappointed.
To better anticipate how you will look after the healing process is complete, you may want to ask your surgeon:
- Will the shape of my eyes look different after surgery?
- Will my eyes be symmetrical after the surgery?
- What are the chances that I'll need touch-up surgery after my blepharoplasty?
- How long can I expect the results of my procedure to last?
