Concerning eyelid surgery?

I have puffiness under my eyes and somewhat loose skin above. I have reasearched eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), but the examples they show are not giving me that good of an idea what to expect. I am only 35, and many if not most of the pictures are of 60+ year olds. Also, I want to go to a good surgeon who will offer reasonable prices. Does anybody have experience with this? What is your recommendation?

Answers:

The first thing to do when considering cosmetic surgery is to find a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon who is board certified in plastic surgery. he will have pictures of his previous patients and those pictures can give you an idea of what he can do for you. if you don't feel confident that he can do a good job, find another surgeon. some plastic surgeons prefer not to post their patient's pictures on their website since they want to preserve their patient's privacy. you may get them to send you some pictures by email though. if you are on a budget, you may also consider medical travel to other countries, but always check on the credentials of the surgeon and make sure he is board certified in plastic surgery. in asia, plastic surgeons often do blepharoplasty on younger patients who want to have double eyelids.

The reason most of the pics are of older people is because loose eyelids is a complication of cataract surgery. i know this cuz my mom had both surgeries. her insurance paid for it because it wasn't considered cosmetic but medical because it was interfering with her vision. i know she always looked tired but after the procedure she looked 100% better.

India is the leading provider of healthcare to foreign nationals; be they from neighboring countries, lacking in facilities and standards, or from the West, circumventing waiting times, high cost private healthcare or private health insurance premiums. The Indian medical industry is now poised to move into a new area of "medical outsourcing," where it serves as an extension to provide services to the overburdened medical care systems in western countries.

There are numerous foreigners that are flying to India and desperate to do so. It is not to see the backwaters of Kerala or the beautiful beaches of Goa but to get much cheaper surgery in Indian Metros. It’s not just the cost that you should consider. You should look into the surgeons and the anesthetist’s credentials as well.

Important Points to Ask about the Surgeon and The Anesthetist who would be operating you-

What professional memberships, training and qualifications do they hold?
Have the surgeon and anesthetist worked together before?
Will the anesthetist perform a pre operative evaluation?
And a postoperative evaluation?
How much recovery time will the procedure entail?
How long will you be hospitalized?
How soon after the operation you can fly home?
Ask to see credentials and ‘before and after’ pictures.
