Starting small with plastics doing upper eyelids



Recommended Posts

So I will be a year out from surgery in July and as of today I am 34lbs from goal weight- hoping to be there in July. I can see my face has sagged quite a lot already especially with a "wattle" under the chin and my upper eyelids have become more droopy than they were before becoming more hooded and making me look very tired. I will likely need a TT and armlift and maybe even a thigh lift eventually but I have decided to start with my eyes and have an upper eyelid lift.

I am going to South Africa to visit friends and family in July and have decided on a very reputable surgeon there, I know his sister and I remember her coming clean about some work she had done by him, and she looked amazing. The price is pretty good and I believe he is fairly sought after there. I figure I start small with this surgery (he has also recommended under-eye laser) and if I like his work I will plan to do the rest with him.

The question is- am I making a mistake in not waiting another year to see if further weight-loss makes my lids droop further or am I right in thinking my eyelids are probably least likely affected by weight loss and it's probably a good place to start?

Any advice/thoughts appreciated!
