Also known as eyelid surgery. For as long as I can remember, I've had droopy skin that covers my upper eyelids. If you look closely at my avatar you can sort of see what I'm talking about. Sometimes the skin over one eye will droop more than the other, making things even more not-so-attractive. I talked to my eye doctor but she said that my case isn't severe enough to get it covered by health care.
I don't really mind too much until I try to put eye makeup on. Shadows smudge off (and I use expensive top-of-the line-stuff which shouldn't do that), and the shadow, mascara, and liners usually all smear together under that extra skin.
I went for a consult with a surgeon in my area, who can also make my eyes 'look' more feminine, for a pretty reasonable price. However, everyone else that I talk to about it says I'm crazy and that I don't need anything like that done. It worries me though, and makes me feel self conscious. But I also hate any kind of surgery and recovery and all that stuff.
Has anyone had upper blepharoplasty? If so, did it help with keeping eye makeup on and nice looking? Is it worth getting something like this done for the sake of makeup, since I do love the stuff? Does it really result in a more feminine look?
Thank you!
Chrissi
