“Better Result Than I Expected - Palo...”

I went to Dr. Hessler for eyelid surgery.The result was better than I expected. I barely had any bruising, very little swelling, you can barely see the incisions, and the recovery time was very fast. (couple days, few Tylenols) I plan on having a facelift in the near future, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face! more

“So Happy I Did This - Palo Alto, CA”

After debating for years whether or not to have this surgery, I decided to go for it. I wish I had done it years ago! I've always had uneven eyelids, which didn't really bother me until one in particular became more saggy. I'm in my early 30s, and I felt like if it weren't for my saggy eyelids, I'd look much younger. I looked tired all the time, and my eyes and eyelashes didn't "pop" anymore... more

Initially it was difficult for me to look... more

“Eylid Surgery Can Cause Serious...”

I had eylid surgery 6 years ago and was recently diagnosed with Lagophthalmos which is a condition of the eylids not completely closing. This is a very serious condition and can lead to loss of vision. Unless you have loss of vision due to overhanging lids don't do it. more

“Lower Pinch Blepharoplasty - So Far...”

37 years old, have always had very slight puffiness under my eyes that made me look tired. After trying all the eye creams on the planet as well as at home lasers, and salon eye treatments, I decided the blepharoplasty was the way to go. I checked out two doctors that seemed good; the first suggested a laser transconjunctival incision in addition to Fraxel to tighten up the loose skin at the... more

“My Cheek Implants and Upper and...”

I did a lot of research before deciding on the doctor to do my surgery. He turned out to be the one my regular doctor recommended. The whole experience from start to finish was a positive one. My eyes are no longer half closed and the fat underneath my eyes is gone. They no longer look tired. The cheek implants look so natural I can't believe it. After surgery I was given some pills for... more

“Neck Lift, Upper & Lower Eye Lift...”

I am turning 60 and am quite youthful - but was not looking as young as I felt. Bags under my eyes, upper eyelids disappearing and a neck that looked quite old.

“My Upper Bleph Experience”

My heavy upper eyelids are hereditary, and I always knew I'd have surgery someday. At age 50 they were beginning to sag so much that my eyelashes were getting caught in the creases. So, in early December 2008 I had an upper blepharoplasty. I had only local anesthesia (combined with a shot of Demerol and a Valium). The most pain I experienced was the Demerol shot! The rest was a breeze. It was... more
