On this episode of The Dr. Tyna Show, I'm opening up about a very personal experience: my voluntary upper blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery. After years of dealing with hooded eyelids that were affecting both my vision and self-image, I decided to take action. This decision was both emotional and physical. I'll share the ups and downs of my journey, including how I could have better prepared for a smoother recovery. If you're struggling with similar insecurities or considering a procedure like this, this episode is for you. Going into this or ANY procedure prepared is the best way to optimize outcomes.
