My eyes were very droopy and I looked very tired. I had thought about upper lid surgery for a few years but was reluctant. I am so pleased with the results. The pain was minimal and the healing process was quicker than I ever expected. My eyes look 20 years younger. I should have done this sooner. Even at 9 days post surgery I still had some swelling but it was obvious the results would be magnificent. It's been 6 months since surgery and I am thrilled with the overall results.

Sounds like you had an upper blepharoplasty, is that correct?
January 22, 2014
Yes, and so happy I chose Dr. Kopelman.

My lids look very much like yours pre surgery. Is there any chance you would post results. So glad you are happy with outcome.

I just posted a photo that was taken 9 days after surgery. Of course I was still healing in this photo but the difference is so visible. I'll take a more recent photo and post it in a few days. It's now been 7 months since my surgery and I couldn't be happier with my results and the Doctor I chose.

wow, what a result, thanks for posting!
January 23, 2014
Every time I look in the mirror... I think WOW too! :) If you're thinking of this surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. K. He is superior. I'll be sure to post a more recent photo in a few days.

They DO look great....what kind of anesthesia was used and is the cost stated including the total cost or just surgeon's fee? How long did the procedure take? thanks for your response....grace
January 24, 2014
That was the cost for the surgeon's fee. Anesthesia was separate and if I remember correctly, it might have been about $800.00. I really don't remember how long the surgery took, I don't remember it being very long. Hope this was helpful.

Does he remove the bags under the too?
January 27, 2014
I live in New Orelans, I would consider flying up and have Dr. Kopelman remove the BAGS under my eyes. What was the total cost and was it done in the doctor's office.
January 31, 2014
Yes, Dr. Kopelman specializes in upper and lower lids, this would include the under eye bags. I myself didn't have surgery on my lower lids but if I ever do need it, no doubt, I would choose Dr. Kopelman to perform this surgery. I just post photos I took this morning, 7 months post surgery.
