I carry out more than a hundred of these treatments - or blepharoplasties, as they are known - a year, and more than half are for medical reasons, including reduced vision, inflammation and ingrowing eyelashes.Īge is a major factor in heavy or sagging eyelids. He says: Eyelid surgery isn't just a cosmetic procedure. Raj DAS-BHAUMIK is a consultant oculoplastic surgeon at the London Eye Hospital and Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust In addition to age, smoking, not using sunscreen and drinking too much contribute towards baggy eyelids You wouldn't know I'd had it done - there's virtually no scar and I have no irritation. I was back at school a few days after the surgery. I had slight bruising for a few days, then two weeks after the operation the stitches were removed. That evening, I was allowed to remove them and, although my eyes were tender, I was surprised at just how comfortable I felt. My husband Richard dropped me off at 7pm, and by 9pm I was on my way home with two gauze bandages over my eyes. Throughout the procedure I felt a slight tugging sensation, but nothing too unpleasant.

I had the surgery last October with just a local anaesthetic in my eyelid (I had a patch covering my other eye so I could not see what was going on). The NHS doesn't routinely fund heavy eyelid removal, but luckily I had private medical insurance.

Mr Das-Bhaumik said he could remove the excess skin with a special laser instead of a scalpel, which meant a faster recovery time. This meant that some lashes were rubbing against the eye's surface, causing the painful scratching sensation. It was worse in the left eye and the skin was drooping downwards so my eyelashes were pointing inwards. He told me the problem was that my eyelids were too heavy. It became difficult to read and my eyes were sore because I kept rubbing them.īy this time I'd had enough, and I returned to my GP who referred me to consultant eye surgeon Mr Raj Das-Bhaumik. However, over the next few weeks the irritation returned. She removed it with tweezers and, after a few days, it was bliss not to feel the scratching sensation. I have incredibly fair eyelashes which is possibly why no one had spotted it. So I went back to my optician and, after examining my eye close-up, she found an ingrowing eyelash. My optician then referred me to an NHS eye clinic which also couldn't find anything wrong. My GP couldn't see anything that might be causing it and prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs. Then my eyes started to get really painful: I couldn't sleep because my left one was sore and inflamedĮventually both my eyes were bloodshot, swollen and watering constantly. In February last year, I visited my optician, but she couldn't find anything and gave me antibiotic eye drops to soothe the irritation. At first, I blamed the heat, but then it started happening at home. The problem would always occur abroad on our annual holiday.

Debuting July 24, 2007, on FX, Damages was also briefly carried by MyNetwork TV beginning August 1 of that year.Fiona Selby, 56, had laser surgery to correct her droopy eyelidsĪ couple of years ago, I noticed a scratchy sensation in my left eye, as though something was trapped under the upper eyelid. In addition to Glenn Close and Rose Byrne, the regular cast included Tate Donovan as Patty's much-maligned subordinate Tom Shayes and Zeljko Ivanek as sly defense attorney Ray Fiske. (It was planned for Patty Hewes to handle a different case in each successive season, each introduced with a similarly tantalizing 'teaser.') Throughout the drama, the thin line between 'hero' and 'villain' grew progressively thinner, in the tradition of The Shield.

The first-season storyline literally began at the end, as Patty's idealistic protégée Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne), half-naked and caked with blood, ran through the streets of New York (were the show was filmed) and made a beeline for her office, where her first words were 'I need a lawyer!' The rest of the season built up to this crucial moment, with what series creator Todd Kessler described as the inevitability of a Greek tragedy. It was clear from the get-go that Frobisher was willing to do anything to stop Patty in her tracks, possibly even including ordering a few murders.

As ruthless and calculating as the high-profile criminals that she went after in court, Patty spent most of the series' first season pursuing a class-action suit against billionaire Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson), a shady Ken Lay-style corporate CEO. Glenn Close, who'd been asked to star in this series on the strength of her work as police captain Monica Rawling on another FX offering, The Shield, was cast as barracuda-like Manhattan power attorney Patty Hewes. Several of the production people responsible for The Sopranos were also behind the equally quirky FX network series Damages.
