“Zapped My Wrinkles and Opened My...”

My eyelids were beginning to droop at the outer corners, and wrinkles were getting deeper around my eyes--especially laugh lines. I read about the Laser Eyelid Lift online and talked to Dr. Banthia and staff at Reviance in San Jose. He performs an intense laser procedure that, in a word, WORKS! Unlike the eyelid lift video I saw, that requires 3 sessions, mine was a single appointment,... more

“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.

“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

37 years old, have always had very slight puffiness under my eyes that made me look tired.

“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
