My name is Ralph and appearance is very important to me since I appear on numerous television shows . I was a regular on the Maury show for 22 years . I get botox injections twice a year i am 59 years old . Dr. Beharastani is a great doctor and makes me look and feel 20 years younger.He has an amazing staff , they are all so friendly , courteous and professional . Never a long wait . I also got an eyelid lift from Dr. Beharastani 3 years ago and it still looks great in the eye area .Its a pleasure going for botox to Dr. Samuel Beharestani 's office .
I have been a patient of Dr Baharastani for several years. He performed an upper Bleph approx 4 years ago. I continue to see him for botox around my eyes and forehead. I have also had filler for my lip lines I am extremely happy with all of my results. I always feel very natural and wake up not ever looking tired! I would recommend him highly.
Best Botox Experience! The middle of my eyebrows/forehead are so smooth, you would never know I ever had the 11 lines! Definitely will be going back for more in the future, Quick and painless experience.
I just had an upper eyelid surgery, botox for my forehead and crows feet, and restylane for my bags and dark circles, as doctor recommended. Probably it is too early to tell the results, I am still recovering from the swollen and bruises, I am still waiting for the botox and restylane result, so far i see no change or very minimal change, I don't know when I will see the results, probably I am a little bit anxious since this is my first time. Doctor Baharestani was very gently at sugery, and very honest when I asked what procedure I needed, he took his time to explained everything. I have to follow up this week with him, I really hope I can get the results I was looking for. Just gave 3 stars for now but I will follow up and i really want to give the 5 stars to Dr Baharestani Updated on 18 Mar 2021: It has been two weeks since the surgery, saw the doctor today, I’m very content with the upper lid surgery, dr did a great job, Botox and the filler doctor is following up and checking very carefully, even though I did not get the results I was looking for, dr Baharastani is being very understanding and he’s trying to get me y he results I was looking for, I will follow up in the next two weeks, thanks doctor B for being very patient and understanding Updated on 5 Apr 2021: It has been a month today, and I am kind of dissapointed, as I mentioned before I had upper eyelid surgery, botox and fillers. The eyelid surgery is good, botox is OK, but the filler (restalyne) not good at all, my dark circles are darker now and my bags are more pronounced (I will post before and after pictures next time) I can see and feel the lump on my righ side, doctor put a dissolving injection to make it less noticeable, I never got rid of what was bothering me (dark circles, bags and wrinkles), I am very self-conscious about it that is the reason why I decided to get the botox and fillers, this was my very first time, never did anything to my face before. Maybe I had high expectations. Botox I think it worked, even though I still see some of my frown lines and my crows feet wrinkles, probably is normal to still see some wrinkles, I still do not know what the filler did to my tear trough, this was a very big decision for me to take this step, financial and emotional. I just feel the filler was a waste of money. I had done the surgery, botox and filler at the same time, probably it is not a good idea, my advise will be not to do all at once since you dont really see the results right away. In my case not what I expected, I did not get rid of my tired look and there is not much difference from before and after. Any advise?
I wish I could give 10 stars! Dr.B is so gentle and thorough. He went through the entire process and had amazing bedside manner. I got versa fillers to my lips and have always been self conscious of my upper lip being so thin, he made sure to make them look so natural and I couldn’t be more happy!
I would like to thank Dr. Samuel Baharestani and his staff for the wonderful experience I had . Dr Baharestani is an excellent Oculoplastic Surgeon. He is compassionate and took the time to explain my surgery to me. His office staff is excellent. Special thanks to Anne Marie and Samantha for assisting in my surgery and for their kindness. I am a RN and highly recommend Dr. Baharestani and his office.
Dr. Baharestani had been taking care of me for three years! I attended the night of beauty held at the smithtown location and it was a fun informative event! I have received nothing but the best service from Dr. Baharestani and I would highly recommend his services.
I have always had dark, sunken under eye bags, I’m 31 years old and I started noticing they were looking worse, more sunk in and darker. I came to see Dr. Baharestani and decided the same day to receive fillers in my tear trough, best decision ever! I have minamal bruising and my eyes look so much brighter already. It’s only been 4 days and I’m so happy with the results! Thank you!!
Wish I could give Dr. Baharestani more than 5 stars!!! I was very apprehensive about getting Botox for the first time but he explained every step of my procedure thoroughly and patiently and made me feel very comfortable. The procedure itself went very smoothly as well, with amazingly natural results. Dr. Baharestani's professionalism and expertise provided for a very pleasant and successful experience. Thank you!
Dr. Sam Baharestani is truly great. He is thorough and really generous with his time. A very different experience from what I had when I saw someone else. I can tell that he is an expert in his field.
Thank you for sharing your case with the Realself community. You should have an open and frank discussion with your surgeon to determine your goals and how best to achieve them. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your case with the Realself community. Your vision will continue to improve over the next few days. Make sure that your surgeon is aware of your condition. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your case. Are you able to share a photo of your condition? How far out from surgery are you? Sometimes this can be related to bruising under the skin that needs to be cleared by your body. It is important to wear sunglasses to help to prevent permanent discoloring of your skin. Make sure that your surgeon is aware of your condition and consider a consultation with a board certified oculoplastic surgeon to help. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your case. These are better questions for your surgeon who can make sure that your incisions are fully healed so that there is no risk of infection. In general, 1 month after your surgery would be an appropriate time, but I would clear this with your surgeon. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your case. I’m glad to hear that you have had a good cosmetic result. Temporary dry eyes are common after eyelid surgery since it takes some time for your muscle function to return to allow you to blink normally. Artificial tears, ointment, restasis, and punctual plugs are all temporary measures that your surgeon may recommend. Good luck!
