Eyelid Surgery Made a Huge Difference - New Haven, CT

I had my lower and upper lids done about 10 years...

I had my lower and upper lids done about 10 years ago...I was 53. It was the first thing I ever had done and made a huge improvement in my appearance. Pretty intense pain for one day, then just uncomfortable. Took one week off from work and looked a little bruised when I went back, but everyone knew what I had done, so it really didn't matter.

Rather than spend a fortune on creams, etc. that really don't correct the problem, I think it's better to have it surgically corrected. Glad I did it...No cons....


Great review?

Dr. Goodkind operated on my daughter and a friend after a snowmobile accident, so I knew his work was excellent before I consulted him for myself. He is very easy to talk to and will explain exactly what he will do and how long before you're back to 100%. I highly recommend him.

I'm considering having both upper and lower lids done...10 years ago and your eyes still look great?!? I've heard that the procedure lasts 20-25 years....?? Does that sound right? I'm both nervous and excited to do this. I'm happy to hear you had such a positive experience. Thanks for sharing.
