Eyelids Look Stunning - Nashville, TN

I felt at my age, 51, it was time to start the beauty maintenance with more than just Botox. I asked Dr. Retief what the most aging feature on my face was and she told me my eyes. So, I went for it and did it and i am so happy.

I have seen Dr. Retief over the years for skin exams and Botox.  But, recently I had a blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery) by Dr. Retief. She did it in the office without any type of anesthesia other than numbing it with lidocaine.  it did not hurt at all.  I had no bruising and looked great in 5 days!  Everyone complements me but cant tell what I had done.

Great review?

Wow, I am in Nashville and haven't found anyone who could/would do this only under lidocane numbing!!! Have you posted any before and after pics? I really want to have my eyes done, as they are very hooded and make me look tired, but I'm so scared with all the stories of things going wrong. Would you be willing to put up some pics??? Thanks for posting!! I'm glad you love your outcome!!
