Dr. Naz is a true gem. I’ve never had any injection done before, and I was obviously nervous when I walked in the door. The man at the front desk assured me I’d be in good hands, and when she walked in the treatment room, her calming presence instantly put me at ease. She explained options and processes to me, and we decided that keeping my natural lip shape, and adding more volume was bes...
My goodness, I could not speak highly enough about my experience with Dr. Naz! From start to finish I felt comfortable, heard, and valued. I had no clue how to explain what I wanted done, but after a few questions - Dr. Naz was able to perfectly execute my vision. I literally haven’t stopped bragging since they’ve healed!
Dr. Naz is the sweetest perfectionist there is. Her staff is amazing as well as her new office space. Her attention to detail makes me always feel comfortable and I look forward to her beautiful energy!
Dr. Naz has just the right touch—she is a true master at what she does. She does just the right amount to enhance natural beauty. I'm always happy with my results. Also, the new office space is awesome!
A: The lower eyelids sitting in a lower position can due to a number of reasons. I recommend seeing an oculoplastic surgeon to ensure that there are no secondary causes for your lower eyelid position. In addition, an oculoplastic surgeon can recommend a possible surgical intervention to raise the position of the lower eyelids.
A: First, ensure that you are not using any products on your eyelids (such as ointment that was prescribed post-operatively). If you are using any products, along your eyelids, this may be secondary to an allergic reaction. However, as you indicated, this may also represent poor scarring. In that event, I would see your doctor in the near future as he/she may want to do injections along the scar (with steroids/Kenalog and/or 5-fluorouracil) to minimize it's appearance. He or she may recommend placement of silicone gel, however I would wait for your doctor's approval prior to starting any products. In the event that the scarring is too extensive, your doctor may want to do a scar revision. Regardless, I would see your doctor earlier than your scheduled appointment in November.
A: If you feel that the darkness is improving, then I would wait as this could represent swelling/bruising. However if the darkness persists, then this may be due to the Restylane being placed too superficially and causing a Tyndall effect. Restylane is a great choice for under eye filler, however if it is placed in an incorrect plane, it may cause discoloration of the overlying skin. You may have the filler melted with hyaluronidase. My suggestion is that you see someone who is experienced in placing fillers under the eyes, specifically an oculoplastic/oculofacial surgeon.
