Title: NEED HELP FINDING EXTERNAL LID WEIGHT~
Post by: CROOKEDSMILE on March 08, 2008, 03:53:51 pm
I AM GETTING MY PLATINUM EYELID WEIGHT TAKEN OUT BECAUSE IT IS A 1.4GM AND TOO HEAVY. IT COMES OUT IN APRIL. I THINK I WANT TO TRY THE EXTERNAL LID WEIGHT BUT DON'T KNOW WHO TO CALL OR HOW MUCH THEY COST. DO YOU ORDER JUST ONE OR CAN YOU ORDER BUNCHES? I SAW ONE SITE WHERE THEY CAME IN SETS OF 100 AND THEY LOOKED LIKE WEIGHTED TAPE. I AM CONFUSED. NO PRICES ARE LISTED ANYWHERE AND I'VE HEARD YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL SHOPPING THE INTERNET. I'M AFRAID TO MENTION IT TO MY DOCTOR BECAUSE HE IS A SURGEON AND I'M SURE WILL WANT TO PUT ANOTHER WEIGHT IN INSTEAD. CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL OR WEBSITE? THANK YOU. THIS WEIGHT IN MY EYE IS KILLING ME AND CAUSING SEVERE PTOSIS OF THE EYELID. PLUS MY EYE WATERS NONSTOP. HELP!

Wasn't it 4 cm that had such success with the external weights?

It is one weight that comes with 100 pieces of double sided sticky tape… you order the tape in packages of 100. So far I have bought 2 packages…. And still have lots of little pieces left.

P.S. I finally was reimbursed by the insurance company … 6 months later….  ::)

This may be a little late to help you, but I have an external eyelid weight. It is called a BLINKEZE. I ordered it from a company called MedDev. My facial therapist had a kit and I (along with her help) chose the weight. My weight only weighs .8 grams. You can also pick a skin tone. I needed a prescription, but my insurance didn't pay. It only cost about $70.
