Procedure:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Upper Blepharoplasty March 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

My decision to have cosmetic surgery was motivated by a combination of wellbeing and health issues.<\/p>\n

My droopy eyelids not only affected by self-confidence but also, when my sinuses would flair up with seasonal allergies, my eyes would almost close. This has been an issue for a long time, but in the last few years I just knew I should have cosmetic surgery.<\/p>\n

I felt more confident about having the procedure when a close friend had a breast op. and I could see how well that had gone. My friend appeared much happier afterwards; her self-confidence and self-esteem were so much better.<\/p>\n

I wanted to feel that way too.<\/p>\n

The droopy, loose skin over my eyes made me feel very uncomfortable, so I refused to be in photos. When I had sinusitis I almost couldn\u2019t go out.<\/p>\n

I had also given up on putting on eye make-up; there was just no point.<\/p>\n

I used to start looking at other people\u2019s faces, at their eyes and would just wish I had eyes like theirs!<\/p>\n

So, I decided to go ahead with booking a consultation, and having the cosmetic surgery.<\/p>\n

It was a private decision. I only shared it with one member of my family and with a close friend. I wanted to be discreet about it and Aria Medial Group understood that \u2013 they were great.<\/p>\n

Gibraltar is a small community and I had heard about Dr. Marco Vricella and Aria Medical Group. He has a good reputation in Gib which is important, so I felt confident to go ahead and have a consultation.<\/p>\n

Consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although I could have had a consultation here in Gibraltar, for discretion, I chose to go to Aria\u2019s private Marbella hospital in the autumn of 2016. I met first with Louise Truelove the chief Patient Care Coordinator and then with Dr. Marco Vricella for the private consultation.<\/p>\n

I was accompanied to the consultation by a friend, who works in nursing, so she could ask extra questions, like details of the anaesthetist etc. My friend felt confident with Aria Medical Group and Dr. Vricella and so did I \u2013 I felt ready to move forward.<\/p>\n

The pre-op tests were conducted in a swift, friendly and professional way. I have worked in the medical sector myself so I recognise that Aria was well organised, and things were being done correctly. This made me confident for the op.<\/p>\n

The Procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until this spring, in March 2017 that I had the Upper Blepharoplasty procedure to remove the excess skin above my eyes. I had a general anaesthetic, so I stayed overnight in the private hospital, in a very comfortable room.<\/p>\n

I must say that from the moment I arrived at the hospital, the service was brilliant. The procedure went smoothly and afterwards I was taken to my private room to recuperate.<\/p>\n

When I came round from the operation a nurse was putting cool gauzes on my eyes to help with the pain and swelling but I could still see.<\/p>\n

Dr. Vricella told me the op. had gone very well.<\/p>\n

I have had medical procedures before, for the likes of broken bones, but for me this Blepharoplasty procedure was much easier. It felt as if it was almost over as a soon as it was started.<\/p>\n

Aftercare<\/strong><\/p>\n

After my recovering the following day at the hospital I went home. In my experience the recovery was much easier and more comfortable than I could have imagined.<\/p>\n

By day 3 after the procedure I wasn\u2019t in any discomfort, although of course my eyes were still swollen. I didn\u2019t need pain killers but I took the prescribed anti-inflammatory tablets as recommended, helping accelerate the healing.<\/p>\n

During my aftercare follow-up meeting with Dr. Vricella, he commented just how impressed he was with my results and my recovery. Now, after two weeks I don\u2019t have any bruising at all. I must admit I did follow the medical team\u2019s advice \u2018to the letter\u2019. So, for example I followed the suggestion of Tanya, Aria\u2019s Chief Nurse, to regularly apply gauzes with chamomile.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong><\/p>\n

By day 4 I could see the results! It was a fantastic feeling! I was overwhelmed by how good the results already were! I felt emotional, seeing how my face had changed, after all these years thinking about and waiting for a procedure.<\/p>\n

Now, just few weeks after the op. I am enjoying putting on eye make-up again for the first time in years!<\/p>\n

I feel great \u2013 so much more confident.<\/p>\n

My advice to anyone thinking about a procedure like this, is to go for it. It\u2019s remarkable how a change like this can make you feel so different.<\/p>\n

The few friends who I have told about the op. are so happy for me!! They tell me I look much younger!<\/p>\n

The funny thing is that although I am in the 50s, I didn\u2019t want to have the procedure because I wanted to turn back the clock; I simply wanted to get rid of my droopy eye lids to allow me to have open eyes; to feel good about myself when I went out; to enjoy wearing eye make-up; and not be affected so much when I suffered allergies or sinus issues.<\/p>\n

I see this positive reaction from other Aria clients. For example I was in the waiting room for an aftercare follow-up consultation and another client who had recently had a tummy tuck couldn\u2019t help but show me their result and say just how happy they were to have had cosmetic surgery!<\/p>\n

Like the other clients, my upper eye lid surgery has been a real success.<\/p>\n

I am happy to recommend Dr. Marco Vricella and Aria Medical Group.<\/p>\n
