“Blepharoplasty / Brow Lift / Fat...”

Last year I had lost about 35 lbs, and coupled with being 56, my face had started to sag. I dreaded looking in the mirror, seeing the tired face looking back at me. I consulted Dr. DeVita, and was sure he could help me look better. I feel confidence in his skill and professionalism. I know I won't look like I did 10 years ago, but I just want to look better than I do now. more

“Long Recuperation After Eyelid...”

I had both upper and lower lids done on July 20th. The uppers had been covered by insurance ($5000) and I paid $3900 for the lowers. The instructions I had been given told me to use ice for 15-20 minutes per hour and sleep sitting up for the first 48 hours. I was also instructed not to read, watch tv, use a computer or drive for 48 hours. I told my doctor, afterwards, that his instructions... more

“Eyelid Surgery Got Rid of Dark...”

One day, I looked more closely in the mirror and noticed puffy bags under my eyes. This was a... more

“Eyelid Surgery Results for my Left...”

I had an eye lid surgery done two years ago for my left droopy eyelid. My insurance covered it, since it blocked a portion of my vision.Even after the procedure it was not a hundred percent even, but looked better than before. I still feel it being lowered than usual and can feel the blocked vision. I feel confident with my doctor, but I wonder i more

“Eyelid Surgery Made a Huge...”

I had my lower and upper lids done about 10 years ago...I was 53. It was the first thing I ever had done and made a huge improvement in my appearance. Pretty intense pain for one day, then just uncomfortable. Took one week off from work and looked a little bruised when I went back, but everyone knew what I had done, so it really didn't matter. Rather than spend a fortune on creams, etc.... more

“Blepharoplasty Not Worth It; Beware”

I had lower blepharoplasty performed because I had what I thought were "fat bags" under my eyes.   I went to a well-known NY plastic surgeon.  After the surgery, I still had the "bags" and also had newly developed wrinkles and apparent asymmetry.  I now realize that the "bags" were probably not "fat bags," but malar mounds or... more
