Eyelid Surgery Changed My Life Tina’s Story Age 45, Surrey Upper Eyelid Surgery “I would highly recommend having surgery with Amir at Bella Vou!” People say that when you turn 40 everything goes downwards. Well, in my case, that was very true. My mother and sisters all had the same eyelids and hated them. It wasn’t until I watched a wedding video of myself and caught a close-up side view of my eyes, I was so upset. I knew I had to do something about it. During the consultation I was shown many before and after pictures, which made me feel completely at ease. I even saw two ladies coming out of a consultation, who were having the same procedure, and were extremely pleased with their potential results. The only option for me was surgery. After years of Botox and expensive creams, I searched the internet and went on a mission to find a surgeon. It’s not as easy as you think, especially when you call a clinic who are not very helpful. That was until I called Bella Vou and spoke to Lisa. Before... Lisa went through the whole procedure on the phone, answered all my questions and concerns, and told me the cost which many other clinics refused to do before a consultation. On the day of my surgery I was so excited but nervous. As soon as I came into theatre Katherine, the theatre nurse, was very friendly and held my hand throughout. I can honestly say it didn’t hurt and I remember chatting the whole way through. ... and after just 7 days I was swollen and had a small amount of bruising but went into work the following day. This small procedure has changed my life! I not only look younger, but it has given me so much more confidence.
