Key takeaways 4
Surgical details: The procedure involves a single incision for lower eyelid and cheek lift (midface suspension) to support the eyelid, with fat reduction rather than total removal to avoid an aged look. The operation lasts approximately 3.5 hours.
Recovery timeline: The first 72 hours are described as the most difficult, characterized by swollen-shut eyes, inability to see clearly, and emotional isolation. Vision begins to improve slightly after day 3.
Emotional impact: Recovering alone without family or friends present creates an 'emotional roller coaster' and feelings of being lost or intoxicated, highlighting the psychological difficulty of cosmetic surgery recovery.
Cost transparency: The dental crowns cost approximately $6,000-$7,000 CAD ($4,000-$5,000 USD), with additional costs for packages like limousine service or suites. The clinic provides free quotes based on submitted photos.
