Since I was young I bad genetic dark circles and bags under my eyes that were the bane of my existence. It was getting worse over time and I knew what was coming by looking at my relatives. After unsuccessfully trying to accept them, I finally decided to investigate a different solution. I looked at all of the top plastic surgeons around the Boston area and came across Dr. Seckel. His somewhat counter-intuitive and unconventional approach intrigued me because it made perfect sense. Instead of removing the fat and altering the shape of the eyelids, add fat and release the arcus. He was the only person around doing this, and also used a laser which reduced healing time. After meeting with him and asking a lot of questions, I gained complete confidence in him and Dr. Doherty. Everything went very smoothly. I had no pain and no bleeding. Just swelling and very minor bruising. The bruising was completely gone within two weeks. The swelling remained slightly, into the third week, but wasn't very noticeable. Only one person commented. Overall, no one has ever recognized that I had the surgery (which is what I wanted), but I've gotten many comments that I look "refreshed." And most importantly, I notice a tremendous difference. The bags and dark circles are gone and it looks completely natural. I don't even think about my under-eyes anymore. It's an amazing feeling. This was the best money I have ever spent and would recommend it to anyone with the same problem that I had and only with Dr. Seckel. The earlier the better too. What's also great, is that I don't have to worry about the bags forming over time, due to the arcus release.

Hi, thank you for your review. Great that everything went well for you! Do you have any photos that you could share? I am also thinking to get this surgery and I am in your age bracket also. Would love to see before and after photos.
