“Upper/Lower Bleph with Chemical Peel...”

Well, I had my upper and lower Bleph along with a chemical peel under my eyes done on March 13 (two days ago at this writing) and so far I look horrible. The swelling on the upper lid is pretty severe and painful. I did the low salt diet and cut out all the foods and drugs that could possibly cause bleeding (berries, garlic, fish oil, vil E, aspirin, Motrin, etc) and started taking bromelain... more

“Upper/Lower Blepharoplasty - Reston, VA”

I am a 49 year old male and was bothered by my baggy upper eyelids and bags under my eyes. Surgery was totally easy, in and out in a little over an hour. The first few days are a little ugly (some bruising, stitches and tape), but not painful at all. After the first week, I stopped even remembering that I had the surgery. I notice a huge difference in my self image, even though no one (even my... more

“Younger Eyes - Fairfax, VA”

My eyes look young again! Before the surgery, they looked tired and uninteresting. It has been one month since my lower eyelid surgery and my eyes, though still a bit swollen in the outer corners, already look about 20 years younger (I will post photos once the swelling subsides completely). Dr. Bitar is a skilled surgeon with a keen eye for proportion and aesthetic. In addition to the... more

“It Was a Successful Eyelid Lift and...”

It was a surgery that was needed since my eyelid prevented me from having a normal visual life. The changes were dramatic, I was able to drive at night, and read with out any problems. Doctor Centeno also did a mini forehead lift witch took years from my face. And the best part is that he keep my facial expression to look natural. No one knew exactly what I did but everyone said I looked amazing.. more

“Absolutely Satisfying Eye Surgery -...”

My eyebrows and eyelids were drooping so badly. Could not even tell I had eyelashes they were so bad., I saw absolutely no reason not to proceed with the surgical procedure.

“Blepharoplasty - Washington, DC”

It was time to get rid of the historical bags under my eyes and make myself feel good again. Had a bit of a lift of the upper eyes at the same time. Love the results - they look natural and I feel refreshed. more

“Great Blepharoplasty - Washington, DC”

Wanted to get rid of bags on eyelids and loose skin. My ex husband met me and said I look like I did when I got married to him (20 years ago). Revenge is sweet! more

“Devastated After Lower Eyelid...”

I went to PS for a consult on upper eyelids that were slightly drooping onto eyelashes. PS pointed out my tired look and showed me how he could also correct my bags under my eyes with a simple procedure to remove a little excess skin. I did not have a problem with the way I looked but he made me feel like I did have a problem. He made the correction seem so simple and convinced me to do it,... more

“Happy with Results - McLean, VA”

I have always had excess eyelid skin and bags under the eyes for many years. My optician recommended I look into surgery. I also wanted the excess skin under my chin removed, as I hated it more than the eyes. I interviewed four Plastic Surgeons (make sure they are board certified PS) - highly recommend everyone does this. Also, call the references they provide – very helpful in... more

“Under Eye Circles Removed, Look Like...”

At first I freaked out because of all the swelling. Additionally, my left eye healed rapidly fast with virtually no scarring. The right eye, however, got infected and needed antibiotic treatment. I truly believed I was going to be disfigured for life. But the right eye eventually caught up and now my eyes look absolutely beautiful and natural. Seriously, he removed the perfect amount of fat.... more

“How Much Swelling Should I Have...”

Had an upper bleph done two weeks ago, and although the recovery was rapid, I still feel as though there is some extra puffy skin where fat/tissue may have been removed. How much of this puffiness should I expect to go away over the next few months? It looks almost as if there should have been a little more skin removed, but it could just be minor swelling. Any input is appreciated. more

“Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Finally...”

I had frequently been told (and noticed myself) that I had bags under my eyes from high school onward. What started out as not getting enough rest for years, was compounded by heredity. I was always tilting my head slightly upward in social settings, trying to work minimize my eyes heavy appearance. Besides probably looking a total snob, it was exhausting, physically and mentally. Flash... more

“I Had Eyelid Surgery 5 Months Ago...”

I had bags under my eyes.I always looked tired and I hated it. Five months ago, I finally had them removed. I absolutely love the result!Very little pain, some bruising and swelling under my eyes for about a week. I still see a little swelling under my left eye especially when I have a cold. But over all, I look much better than before I had the surgery. more

“Lower Bleph Done and I Am Not Sure...”

I need your help. I got a lower transconjunctival bleph done about 3 1/2 weeks ago. My dr. said that this is what he thought was best for me. That he would only take out a very small amount of fat that was causing the bags. I beleive he did, however, my eyes look extrememly hollow now and the circles are even worse than before. Mind you, my eyes were hollow before all of this, but nearly as... more

“Droopy Eyelids Repaired with Surgery...”

Both eyelids were droopy, the left one much more than the right one. After several years of trying diets, eye creams, magical potions and prayers, I received a recommendation for an opthamoligist who specializes in reconstructive surgery. He was the best, completely understood what was needed and did a superb job. Even a day after surgery, with red, swollen eyes, I looked better. Not like... more

“Asian Eyelid Surgery - Prolonged...”

I had a suture procedure for asian eyelids about two weeks ago. I thought the recovery would only take 7-10 days, but has taken much longer. After two weeks, both eyes are still swollen and one eye looks as swollen as the day of the surgery.I iced the eye every 15 min for the first 3 days (excluding a few hours at night) and have applied a heat pack to my eyes for a couple of hours each day... more

“Absolutely Yes to Eyelid Surgery!...”

I went to a well-regarded surgical opthamologist, known for reconstructive surgery. I wouldn't have let any "general" plastic surgeon work near my eyes. My surgeon was recommended to me by a friend who is a Chanel rep. People were always telling me how tired I looked, even when I was wide awake, and I was pretty tired of that! In photos, I looked awful. I was too thin to have... more
