I had this surgery about a month ago because my eyebrows have always been droopy and it caused my eyes and especially upper eyelids to look stuffy. The primary goal for me was to create more eyelid space and make my eyes look more open.

I’m still not completely healed yet but as you can see in the before and after comparisons (I tried to find pics taken from same angles), my eyes definitely look more open and also appear more even after the surgery.

As for the recovery, I have to say it was pretty gnarly in my case. My face got sooo swollen, especially the area around my eyes and a few days later I developed bruising under my eyes that only noticeably dissipated about 3 weeks after the surgery. Prior to my surgery I looked at recovery progress of others online but it took much longer in my case, which is why I would really advise you to take at least 2 weeks off work or major events for the immediate recovery, just to be safe.

Even now after about a month I still feel like there is some residual swelling around the incisions and my forehead still feels pretty numb to the touch, which they told me could last several months.

Overall though, I feel like my facial expression has become much softer and friendlier and I feel like I don’t have to constantly raise my eyebrows just to make my eyes appear like they are fully open, so I’m very happy with my results so far!
For some, maybe the results are pretty subtle but people around me definitely noticed and told me I look prettier recently lol.

I think it’s a big plus that the scars are so inconspicuous as well. My hair is definitely on the thinner side but you can’t tell where the incisions were at all even now so I think the scars will become practically invisible with time.

If you’re thinking about this surgery to address similar concerns I would definitely recommend to go for a consultation with DM and see from there ;)
