We start with questions from the followers.

To the first question “Are you happy you did it and are the results as you expected?”, Clio replies that yes, in particular she is happy about having corrected the drooping eyelid effect. “Obviously, to fully appreciate the result we will have to wait a little longer,” he specified. «But I really like what I see. I don't see myself as upset, but I see a more relaxed look, also because before when I was down in the dumps or particularly tired, I noticed the drooping eyelid even more.” A follower asks how long the surgery lasted: «Approximately 40 minutes”, replies Clio. “I did the day hospital: I entered the clinic at 7 in the morning, the doctor operated on me at 8 and I was already out at 1pm.” Third question: “Do you feel pain?” «Zero!», confirms Clio Zammatteo. «Neither during the operation, because I was asleep, nor after, once the operation was over. Of course, I was swollen and I felt my eyelid pulling, but I didn't feel any pain.” So followers ask how the post-op was. «As I told you, I spent a few hours in the clinic, they only placed latex gloves filled with water and ice over my eyes and even in the following days I had to cover them with plasters and always put lots of ice to deflate them.” Referring to a small dot on the side of her eye, followers ask her what it is and if it will go away. «I was already panicking, but yes, it will go away. This is the final part of the points”, specifies Clio. Following this, the influencer and make-up artist explained that she had done the operation under local anesthesia, «but I didn't notice anything, because before doing it they had given me a drug to help me sleep and I collapsed like a cooked pear. I therefore took an antibiotic treatment for 7 days, starting from the day of discharge from the clinic.” Followers therefore ask if blepharoplasty is an operation that can be repeated. “Yes. I also asked how long before the eyelid could droop again, but there is talk of a possibility in 20 years, so there is no need to worry in the short term.” Cost side: «paying for everything, operation, day hospital, nurse, anesthetist, day hospital I spent a total of 4,600 euros». To the question “After how long are you presentable?”, Clio replies that after 10 days you are presentable, although obviously you can still see the scars. To see the final effect, however, you need to wait approximately 6 months. “Do you see yourself different?”. Clio's response: «I don't look or feel different, I see myself more rested and I can finally see my eyelid, it's as if every day I woke up after 8 hours of sleep.”
