Upper and Lower Bleph - Fantastic Outcome - Roseville, CA

  • Before
  • Immediately after - notice he spared my permanent eyeliner - yay
  • Two days after
  • 5 days after right eye - bruising is from fat removal
  • 5 days after left eye
  • Three full weeks right eye - bruising is gone
  • Three full weeks left eye - in my opinion looks better than the right, but time will tell
  • Three full weeks -

Was tired of looking tired - and although my Mom is beautiful at 70, not quite ready to look like her just yet at 48. I did Botox for a whil to keep my brows from making me look angry, but I needed more. My primary complaint was the sad puppy dog upper eyes, but went for the lowers at the same time because I figure it was just a matter of time before I wanted to do that too.

The procedure was quick and relatively painless, despite looking like I was in a boxing match - and lost

Great review?

I have had my "eye" on Dr. Toft for a few years after seeing him in the area. I had many to choose from and he stood out. Since I am a perfectionist, I wanted somebody who only worked on the face, was conservative as far as acheiving a natural look and that had the board certficiations which is important to me.

you look great! did you do an inside or outside incision on the lowers?
  • Reply
Thanks. It was outside. If you look really closely at the closeup of the lower lash line, you can barely see the external incision, right below the permanent eyeliner.

I am scheduled to do both upper and lowers in April. I am 45 years old. Thanks for the step by step photos - The difference is subtle yet profound. How was the pain factor? Ia m having my breasts done at the same time so I think the eyes will be relatively insignificant!

Thanks for your note - yes, subtle yet profound is a good description. Nobody really noticed, but I sure do. I was not in any pain at all, just perhaps the first day a little sore. I used a lot of ice. I am sure you will not notice at all and will be distracted by your aching chi-chi's... :o)
