You are right about the numbness, Dotsie. I have several scars myself.
Well, maybe I can just use toothpicks to lift my lids!!!

The Opthalmic Sergeon who operated on me to remove the tumor behind my eye also does eye lifts and botox. He's one of the most reputable doctors at Mass Eye and Ear in Boston, so I would guess that both are surgically sound procedures. I know I'll never find out. I have a droopy eyelid from the surgery 4 years ago, but he won't fix it because I could lose what little vision I have left in that eye.
Sometimes I feel self-conscious about the way I look. More times I'm greatful to be alive and able to see out of that eye at all.
If you want to look into this surgery to please yourself, go for it. If it's just to please your husband, I would think about it long and hard.

Update: my friend gave DH the lowdown on this. He says he agrees if I want to get this done.
It's not a "cosmetic" thing, it's more because I feel my eyes have drooped and find myself lifting my eye lids to see. I always had one lazy eye, but now with age, it's a pain!
We'll see.

I have lazy eye, too. Perhaps fortunately, it's the one that I lost partial sight in after surgery. I can't really lift that eyelid to see better. It hurts too much. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it. If I could, I know I would. I say, go for it!

Go for it Di! I have a feeling you're going to be very pleased when you look in the mirror. I know others who have had it done and were very pleased with their appearance.
The end result is that it will make you feel better and that's what counts.

I had a face, eye (upper and lower) and neck lift 2 years ago, and am so very glad I did. I really admire those women who can accept themselves as they are as they age, but I am not one of them. I wanted the surgeries and my husband gave them to me for my 49th birthday. The recovery was not bad at all. I was out and about in 10 days (with makeup covering the bruises) The face lift does not fix everything, mostly the sagging muscles. I get botox and restylane injections. I have a friend who is a Family Nurse Practicioner and is getting into the cosmetic injections. You can visit her wesite at www.about-faceaesthetics.com if you would like.
