No real pain...discomfort from compression bandage which comes off today.....taking arnica Montana and bromelian along with antibiotic, pain pill and eye ointment. So far so good.

Online and reviews at real self. He is board certified. I am so happy and grateful to have found a great caring doctor. I doubt I would have had a mini and upper eyelid, if I was not so sure of Dr.Thomassen's skill, caring manner and gentle ways. I just knew I was in good hands.

You look marvelous! How is your pain on day 3? I'm having the mini-lift on Wednesday the 20th and am excited and nervous but truly looking forward to having this done.

I have had no pain during or after...mild discomfort that's all. I actually feel better not taking pain pills as they make you feel groggy and ruin appetite. Good luck...you will be fine...just take care of yourself and heal.

I don't like taking pain meds either and have a pretty high tolerance for pain. Actually did really well after rotator cuff surgery a year ago (only 1/2 hydrocodone the evening of surgery) so I am praying that I'll be good for this also. Thank you for the encouragement. I do feel better now :-)

Hi Puma, So glad all has been going well. You do look wonderful just one day after surgery, I had been thinking for the longest time on having this procedure done. I did go see your Dr. (Thomassen) as I live in the area, and did have a great experience. So much so that I have scheduled my surgery however, I am a tad bit (as expected) nervous. Any advise? What is your experience? WAS It painful? Any regrets? Thanks so much for your post and for Socrates.....I don't think I would have made this leap without reading your reviews. I am so excited...but of course nerves....they always rear their ugly head. Don't they? Hope your recovery continues to be a good one.

No pain at all during procedure....dr thomassen is great..his staff too. The recover is midly uncomfortable due to the compression bandage and the fact you cant do much just rest. Eat well...sleep with head elevated drink lots of water. No regrets...i want to get my lower eyes do.e. ypur in great hands with this Dr.
