My ophthalmologist suggested for me today. Sounds painful and perhaps unnecessary. Anyone go through this?

I didn't block out the word. It starts with an N, ends in a P and has an i in the middle. The people who run this board blotted it out with stars.

If your doctor thinks your eyelids are interfering with your vision, surgery wouldn't be unnecessary.  Not sure what you're blankIng out.

A blepharoplasty? I've never had it done but for some people it helps them see better by lifting up their droopy lids.

My brother in law had one done for medical reasons and it helped his vision a lot.  He was pleased with his results.  He doesn't have the same look as a cosmetic prodcedure.

My husband had to have that done and he would get infections in his eyes from droopy lids.  He said it was a little painful but he made it through.

@geegerbee I think it would be  painful but if I could get my opthamologist to recommend it so that insurance would cover it I would get it!

I would love to have that space back for eye shadow!

Two friends had it done in the last 6 months and neither one mentioned pain.

Quick healing time and they both were happy with the results.
