Always have had bags, in fact, if you took a photo of my sisters and I together, we would look like the \ bag ladies. I guess that’s genetic. Still makes it miserable for makeup, and as I age, I tend to look tired all the time. But the insult to injury is that now I am double bagging. Yep, there’s bags _under_ the bags. Not large, but saggy, baggy stuff. And not only do I look tired now, I look positively at death’s door exhausted. So considering this surgery is 100% out of pocket, unlike the upper eyelids if I were to qualify, I am asking for anyone who’s done this to weigh in. Any noticeable improvement? Any complications? ---

You may be able to get a medically necessary upper lift and negotiate with the surgeon for the lowers. My mom had her upper lids done and the improvement was amazing and long lasting as well
