I haven't had it done myself, but I know a few mums who went for the procedure at private clinics here and they said it really did make a difference to how awake they look in photos and on video calls, which was the main thing they wanted. The recovery took a couple of weeks though, so you'd want to plan around that if you go ahead. I'd suggest going for a consultation with a good aesthetic surgeon first to see if it's the right fit for your concerns, because sometimes it's really just the skin sagging that makes you look tired, and sometimes it's a combination of things like undereye bags or hollowness too. The surgeons can tell you what would actually help in your case. Honestly at our age, even small changes can make us feel more like ourselves again, so I think it's worth exploring if it's been on your mind.
Yes, it can make the eyes look more awake, especially when loose upper eyelid skin is the main issue. I had droopy eyelids and always looked tired despite getting enough rest. I was diagnosed with excess upper eyelid skin and had blepharoplasty eyelid surgery in Singapore with Dr Leo Kah Woon. He removed the excess skin during surgery, and my eyes look more refreshed now 😊 Go, Mumma! You can do it, and I hope you find what works best for you! ❤️
