Eye lift - blepharoplasty
I'm looking for advice on blepharoplasty. Has anyone had it? Can anyone
recommend a plastic surgeon? Did you suffer ill side-effects?
I understand that it is a fairly simple surgery, but I'm torn on whether
to go through with it. The only aging that bothers me is around my top eyelids, saggy and tired looking. I'm in my mid-40s.

Dr. Michael Cedars is excellent. My OBGyn highly recommends him as well. One of my friends had a blepharoplasty done by Dr. Glen Lau and was very happy, too. I wouldn't hesitate to have either of them "work" on me.
I had this procedure and would recommend it to anyone that has the issues that you mention. I am basically happy with my results, 10 years later.
Be very careful afterwards. You don't want to bend over or do anything to increase pressure in the area. Nothing strenuous. No heavy lifting.
I had a slight ptosis of one eye that really should have been treated at the same time, but the doctor didn't mention it. It would now be considered corrective surgery due
to scar tissue in the area. My one eye is starting to look wonky. Ask your doctor if ptosis is present in your situation.
I had this done a couple of years ago and am very happy. My eye lids were very droopy and began to inhibit my vision somewhat so insurance paid. I used Dr Silkist in Oakland. She did a great job though she is a bit brusk.
I had no problems. I took internal Arnica and used vitamin E oil on my lids. There are no visible scars and healing was short.
