Now here's a picture 3 weeks after the eyelid surgery:
I think the doctor did a great job. The eyelids are still a little swollen, but I'm very pleased.
Now, the lipo. I don't really have any before pictures. For the longest time, I didn't want to have any pictures taken because I knew how "plump" I looked. Here's one that I found from about 2 years ago. I was wearing a full dress, but almost filled it. Excuse the terrible hair!
Now, 3 weeks after lipo, I can actually wear a shirt tucked in! No comments, please, about the Mom jeans!
And look at this!
I still have quite a bit of swelling that might take another couple of months to completely go away. But so far, I'm very pleased with the results.
It hasn't been the easiest recovery, but not that bad. The first week was tough. My eyes were so swollen and my tummy was bigger than before the surgery. It was tough getting in and out of a chair, and putting on the compression garment was pure torture. But by week 2, things had gotten a lot better. Now, I feel almost back to normal. I still have the swelling and some numbness and still have to wear a compression garment about 12-18 hours a day, but it's so much easier to put on (and it's even tighter than the first one). I can definitely see improvement and so can others.
Would I do it again? You betcha!

Oh, you look wonderful! What a difference the eye lid surgery made! And, I have always heard that lipo is hard to get over. You look fab! Good for you!
Your eyes look great!!!! If you keep going, we won't recognize you at the 50th, or maybe I should say we WILL recognize you because you will look like you are 17 again.
Lookin' good Lynne :)!
