8 Months Post-Op From Upper Bleph Performed April 2015

My eyes have completely settled. It's been quite the journey with my right eye from not closing after surgery to having a hypertrophic scar that still hasn't flattened. I am still pleased with the results even though I had to do a lot of post-op stretching and pulling to get my eyelid to relax and close on it's on. I'm using Bio-Corneium scar cream which is supposed to be the best medical grade topical silicon on the market to try and flatten the scar. I've had 3 steroid injections which is the limit unless I want the tissue underneath to separate which I don't, and I don't want a scar revision surgery in fear that my eyelid won't close again. All in all, it's been a journey with lots of lessons learned. If I had one piece of advice, it would be "NOT" to go to a regular Plastic Surgeon but to an Eye Surgeon that has special training in Occouplastics (spelling) surgery.

I wanted to post some side by side photos of my results. I'm loving my new look and I absolutely think I look 10yrs younger! A lot of people ask me if I would do it again and the answer is always yes. I'm so happy with my eyes now and my vision is so much better.

I'm feeling wonderful but still have some sensitivity in my left eye if i rub it too hard. All the feeling has came back into my eyes so no more numbing, now I can feel myself putting on mascara. I'm using the Mepitac silicone tape over my scars at night, this is to help keep them flat and keep the scar tissue from thickening. I'll probably be doing this for 6mos. I still thinking about having the Ptosis repair in my right eye. I just don't like the unevenness of them even though people say they can hardly tell.... I think they're just being nice.... okay to be continued.

I was particularly interested in having Ptosis surgery to repair my drooping right eye along with Blepharoplasty to remove the excess skin on the lids. My journey began last year after I was turned down by my Insurance Co for Ptosis repair on the right eyelid. They said my eyelid didn’t meet the drooping standards but I believe they refused me because of my prior eye trauma history. While researching the different types of eyelid procedures offered, I came across Dr. Sadati’s profile on Realself. I liked his reviews but his specialty was in Face & Neck Lifts so I booked-marked his profile for a future procedure I was interested in having. I was particularly searching for doctors that specialized in eye surgeries, particularly Ptosis repair for the best possible outcome. With one rejection letter and one quote in hand, I booked my consultation with Dr. Sadati. Dr. Sadati is a very soft spoken man with an extremely gentle demeanor. His office is very beautiful and welcoming and his staff goes out of their way to make you feel really comfortable. Dr. Sadati listened attentively as I was pouring my heart out about my hooded eyelids and my drooping right eye. As I kept pleading my case, he was busy looking at my overall bone structure and the symmetry of my eyes. He noticed that my bone structure wasn’t symmetrical and that my entire right side was slightly smaller than the left. No one had told me this before ever. I told him about a childhood accident that I had that left me with a retinal detachment and severe trauma to my right Iris. He didn’t think I needed the muscle repaired and said that he would only repair the eyelids…. he actually agreed with my Insurance Co. I figured two Doctors telling me no was a sign to leave it alone so I didn't think twice, I schedule and paid for my procedure before I left the office. On surgery day, his staff and surgical assistant was extremely wonderful with making me feel comfortable. The procedure was about 1.5 hrs because of the challenges with the right eye, everything went well and I was extremely pleased with my overall outcome. I will definitely see Dr. Sadati for any future procedures I’m interested in having and recommend his services to anyone reading this review.
