Would getting eyelid aesthetics work for me?

In our family, we tend to have droopy eyelids due to genetics. I'm 47 years old now and starting to notice some signs of aging. When I check myself in the mirror, I can't see half of my pupils, and it seems like my eyes are closing prematurely. I've been thinking about eyelid surgery, but I have concerns. About 8 years ago, I had my heart valve and main aortic valve replaced, so I need to take coumadin daily. This raises the risk of bleeding. How could you assist me with this? What would you suggest?

Blood thinners should be discontinued a week in advance. It is enough to cut it for a total of 10 days.

It is necessary to replace the drug with clexane at least 7 days before. Still, you will have a lot of edema and bruising. But this adjustment, the dose determination should be made by the dr friend who follows you. We do your procedure with local anesthesia, there is no need for general anesthesia.

What is the cost of a deep plane facelift combined with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty? I’m curious about the pricing for both procedures together and whether combining them affects the overall cost. Could you provide an idea of the typical price range for these surgeries

Please help, I'm really stressed out about this. It’s been two months since I had upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Now, I feel like my eyes are uneven. Is this even possible, or am I just imagining things? No one has mentioned it because I always wear eyeliner, so it’s not very noticeable.

Hello, do you feel any pain during blepharoplasty? I heard it's done under local anesthesia without general anesthesia, and I want to know if you don't feel any pain at all?

Good day,I have a question. I'm interested in getting blepharoplasty but am wondering if it requires general anesthesia? I really want to undergo the procedure, but I'm scared of being put under.

I had blepharoplasty 6 days ago, but I can still see the stitch marks. How long does it usually take for these stitch marks from blepharoplasty to heal?

Hello. I have a young child and I'm planning to undergo blepharoplasty. Can I manage my daily tasks by myself afterward, or will I definitely need someone by my side?
