My Eyelid Surgery Adventure Part 2

Swelling gone--bruising remains

I can see why others postpone their blepharoplasty until after the holidays. Although I’m in no pain, my follow-up appointment with Dr. Ramey went well, and the swelling is gone—I still look like a raccoon.

This is not the season for camouflage. I’ve got client meetings, holiday parties, and Thanksgiving with many of my family members, all while looking like I stepped into the ring with Jake Paul and didn’t last two rounds. Honestly, I probably would’ve looked worse and not lasted two rounds after facing Jake, but you get the picture.

If anyone asks, I’ll just say I’m committed to an immersive holiday experience—transforming into Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer’s goth cousin or experimenting with bold new contouring techniques. Either way, I’ll make sure the turkey’s the only thing getting roasted this Thanksgiving.

If you’re considering blepharoplasty for medical reasons like I did—or for cosmetic reasons like many others—don’t hesitate. It’s truly a breeze. Go for it!
