6 days ago I had PRP, I had upper eyelid surgery
and I had twilight sedation.
I found the whole experience very relaxing.
No trouble at all, come in, everyone was very nice,
very calm, made the whole experience very calm.
Woke up, thought I’d been under about 15 minutes
and had a power nap
basically I’d been down for an hour and 50 minutes
I think Dr. De Silva told me.
Within 20 minutes I was sitting up in a chair,
speaking to the nurses,
knew exactly what was going on,
no pain, no discomfort,
walked very happily out, went home, felt very high and alert
and really, really enjoyed the whole experience.
I’ve had worse experience with a dentist
and had to come home and felt very groggy and not nice,
and that’s just been you know checked on teeth for a root canal.
I’d advice anyone to have it done,
not to be scared even though you will be scared
someone like me who’s suffered from serious panic attacks
and anxiety attacks,
and to come in here and have such a pleasant experience.
There’s not much more I can say about it.
A fantastic experience and would do it all again next week
if I had to.
My biggest fear about having surgery
was actually having the twilight sedation,
being that I’d put under a valium sedation before at a dentist,
I found it very, not very pleasant when I come to very groggy,
had to go home and lie down I felt very sick, nauseous.
So, having this sedation was just like I’d say
being put out for a power nap, not at all a problem.
Knew exactly where I was I wasn’t feeling at all disorientated.
Walked out with, could have walked shopping
could have gone out for the day, it was that good.
Also the experience of being able that I had hooded eyes
and I’ve been, had hooded eyes it’s hereditary
as Dr. De Silva told me.
So, all my life I’ve had these eyes and know no different
and to actually wake up in the day and even on the day
and just see everything so clearly,
because of my right eye was a bit more affected with my vision,
and I thought I had to have glasses.
As it goes I did not need glasses.
When I come out of surgery,
I could actually look on my phone without my glasses.
So, yes, it’s not just about cosmetic
it’s also about the fact that it’s for your health your vision.
It helps everything about your whole wellbeing,
and also you wake up feeling very alert
and very refreshed, and wide-eyed.
Oh, so how I feel now, and this is only 6 days after surgery,
absolutely fantastic.
The experience is just amazing, you know just walking around
with a big smile on your face, you know,
your face even as my face is now about 6 days,
I just feel so much healthier and happier and more confident.
You know, all it can do is get better you just feel so grateful
for how long you’ve been walking around feeling heavy-eyed,
and you know not being able to see properly,
it’s like you’ve got constant shutters over your face.
You never see it and you’re always frowning.
You always wear, like I always wore sunglasses
because I so paranoid about the heaviness in my eyes.
And now it’s just like, you know,
you can’t wait to put makeup on,
or you can’t wait to go out for an evening
and flatter my eyelids at people, wear false eyelashes.
So yeah, everything about it is just amazing.
Not one bad experience, not even
the discomfort wasn’t even that bad, I’ve had worse sunburn.
