My Eye Experience
-Where? The Signature clinic in London
-What? Upper Blepharoplasty
-Surgeon? Dr Carlo Debbas
-Cost? £1900
-Why did I have this done?
Both my dad & grandmother had/have suffer from droopy eyelids & I was going the same way.
-How did I choose the surgeon/clinic?
I did a lot of research & took my time
-How was the surgery?
Pain free, however as it was under local anaesthetic I found it very uncomfortable & found deep breathing really helped. That night I was in pain but slept well and the next day the pain was gone.
-Recovery?
The incisions & then scabs were very itchy. The stitches took 2 weeks to dissolve. I was out and about a few days after wearing dark glasses but did not drive for a week. I worked out 3 days after but very light ( was advised not to though but I had to work) The pictures are 3 weeks apart.
-Positive
I am very happy so far with my results. The surgeon was clearly experienced and skilled. The price was competitive, however I had chosen the surgeon before I knew the price. The nurses on the day were lovely. I have had pre surgery calls and also a post surgery call.
-Negative
I was left waiting for an extremely long time on my own in a room before the surgery and then again left on the surgery bed ready for a very long time. The surgeon only spent maximum 3 minutes talking to me before the surgery. I was a number and did not feel like a priority as he was on his phone when I came into the surgery and only briefly looked up to greet me. Then left the room to take a call. Something else was clearly going on and I was ready to be told the surgery would not go ahead as I was left waiting for so long. Once the surgery was completed I was off the bed and ushered out the door within 5 minutes. Very shaky and no question if anyone was there to help me home.
-Summary
I am happy with the surgery but not with the bed side manner of the surgeon. This was a big deal to me, something I had built up in my head for years to be done. However, my husband would also like the same surgery at some point and I would say to use the same surgeon but I would go with him and he will know not to expect special treatment.
I guess that is what you get for a competitive price!
Hope this helps, if you have any further questions please just ask!

I have a whole new mindset since finding Cara Metz the menopausal fitness master, motivator who leaves you wanting more with her realness and amazing 15 min workouts !!!!!

What can I say. Cara Metz truly understands her tribe and approaches us all as individuals at the same time. This makes a huge difference when you feel so understood and supported, gives you a lift.
The group of women here, worldwide, are incredible. We all have our own ups and downs and the reward of being here is feeling genuinely cared for.
I lost my way about 18 months ago and briefly left the group feeling quite lost. It soon became apparent that I was menopausal and that Cara Metz was exactly what I needed! I rejoined and am a very happy woman for it, thank you to every single member.

Cara fitness has taught me how to understand the changes due to menopause and learn to love my body again through realistic fitness classes that have made an incredible difference. Meditation, that has helped me not to feel like I'm losing my mind . Cara has given you a sense of normality which is definitely needed at this time in our lives and she's created a community of women who are all going through these daily challenges and are incredibly supportive on the good days and the bad. In a nutshell, Cara fitness is just simply addictive.

Cara is encouraging, empathetic and kind. So happy to have found her app. It’s like having my own little personal trainer in my iPad. I actually look forward to working out now as the 15 minute workouts are manageable and worthwhile. There is so much content available and the programs are well structured. I feel committed, motivated and strong and I am excited to see my progress!! Thankyou Cara fitness!

A message from me, Cara, to you.
'Surely 15 minutes is not enough, what else do you do?'
This is the question I get all the time. It works because it allows you to stay consistent. All the time you put too much pressure on yourself to workout, you find it difficult to stay consistent because you tend to stop when life throws a curve ball your way!
AND LIFE ALWAYS THROWS CURVE BALLS!
Having the mantra 'it is just 15 minutes' let's you know it will be over before you know it! Therefore allowing a sustainable workout lifestyle to be born. We work on mindset and nutrition for women over 40 too and this will all become clear once you become part of the Cara Fitness family.
