WORTH IT$3,000

My lower eyelids had gotten a crepe-y look. I imagined that if a surgeon could simply get rid of the excess skin, it would be exactly what I needed. CO2 laser three years ago for this problem didn't have much effect. I had been advised by a few PS's against the procedure due to risk of making it look worse. So glad I persisted until I found the right surgeon!

I had a lower eyelid skin pinch done 7 weeks ago. The excess skin bothering me is not there anymore, and I am very pleased. Dr. S is a highly skilled and very honest surgeon. I had consulted with a few others, and either they didn’t want to do any surgery to fix my problem or recommended a more complicated (and expensive) operation. My experience from consultation onward was 100% positive—professional, pleasant staff and beautiful offices on the east side. I would not hesitate to use Dr. S’ services again.

Thanks

Gabrielle, I have now posted the before and after pics.
Crystal, where can I find your photos? Thanks.
Great results!! I have never heard of the skin pinch procedure. Did that just remove excess skin? Did the incision leave a scar? My lower eyes are really starting to bother me, creppy and hollow looking with blue coloring. I wonder if skin pinch would correct these issues?
Thank you. Yes, it just removes excess skin. It's now 8 weeks since the surgery. Without eyeliner, under bright light I can see a little bit of a scar near the lash line, but I don't think anyone would notice it other than a plastic surgeon looking for it. With eyeliner the scar is not visible at all. The "after" pic I posted was at 3 weeks after surgery. Even then, as you can see, with eyeliner the scars were not noticeable. I don't know anything about a blue coloring issue, but to decrease the hollow look under my eyes I get good results from having Restylane injected in the area a few times a year. For the skin pinch operation, I have heard many times how very important it is to get a highly competent surgeon to do this, as there are a few potential ways it could go wrong and give you a worse problem than what you had to start off with.
