Incredible Doctor - Scottsdale, AZ

Creases did settle (took a good 2 weeks for it to go down to a normal looking crease) some but still a little high on left eye that has been the problem area. Not likely to go down much unfortunately bc of the angle of the incision. Depending on how much the right settles I may have to get the left revised in the future. I have found that if I wear a lot of makeup and these annoying fake eye lashes I can mask most of the asymmetry. Right eye is looking much better as far as the middle crease I had running across my lid since I had some skin removed. At least I am able to wear makeup now since the multiple creases have seemed to be dramatically reduced (for now-we'll see, if they "settle too much" that's when the multiples show up). I think my progress is ok...miss having my doctor to consult with....

So unfortunately, Dr. Holden is not currently practicing due to some personal issues. I am very sad to lose a relationship with a doctor that I trusted and was comfortable with. It is also untimely as I just had a minor crease revision 2 weeks ago and now have no one to go to for any follow up care. My left eye had started creasing off downward from the incision crease so I wanted it tucked up a little but it seems a little high still as far as the position of the crease so still needing some revision as of now. Also, my right eye had a very dominant crease mid lid that he improved by removing a little more skin. I will try to post updated pics soon. Most of the major bruising went away at about day 10 I think. I am not sure what I am going to do now that I am left w/out a doctor. I am doing research but it is a challenge as Asian blephs are a specialty. May have to travel (CA maybe). Also am needing a new "regular maintenance(botox, filler)" doctor so the search begins for a good, caring, skilled doctor that has reasonable prices...it's Scottsdale so it may take a while lol....

One year post op and I am happy with my decision to go through with this surgery. My right eye is still a little resistant because it had the most change to it without cutting the epicanthal fold and continues to want to crease below my new crease which is something I hope to get "tucked" in hopefully soon. It is bothersome to me but likely only because I am a perfectionist and I have to look at it all the time. Although my doctor doesn't think it is necessary, I believe I may need a little tightening further in toward my right epicanthal. My new crease is just a tiny bit too high for the angle of my right eye's inner corner. I did notice that the skin around my eyes seems persistly dry and slightly flaky so I always need nightly eye creams/moisturizer. Love not having to wear eye makeup though which I never was confident enough to do before my blepharoplasties. I would've done this before my breast aug 10 years ago if I had known how much it could change my life! Dr. Holden's expertise and skills played a major role in my transformation and I will continue to seek graceful aging procedures from him in the future.
