I went in for a consultation in March 2011 and finally decided to book an appointment in February 2012. When I messaged the clinic, they told me that the prices for this procedure had increased since my first consultation, but they were kind enough to honor the price they had last quoted me ($3136 after taxes). I had my procedure done today at 2:30pm, and everything went well. I had some minor bruising on my left eye, no major swelling, and I was surprised to see how much the areas under my eyes had flattened. I only experienced some minor discomfort during the surgery (ie, needles for anesthesia, having to reapply anesthesia when the incisions were beginning to hurt a bit), but that was the extent of the discomfort I had. I could not feel any pain at all, even when the surgeon was cutting the fat out. I was given some oral sedatives to calm my body, but other than that, I was awake for the entire procedure and I could see him pulling the fat out of the pockets. Overall, I had a pretty good experience. I think the doctor I went to was very skilled and professional. I can't really tell how my recovery will go since this is the 1st post-op day, but hopefully the swelling won't increase.

I'm on my second day of healing and I barely feel any discomfort. I can probably go out with my glasses on and nobody would noticed any changes around my eyes.

My doctor prescribed some Tylenol 3 in case I need them, but I haven't touched any of the tablets yet. I am currently taking bromelain and Tian Qi (a chinese herb) capsules to help with the bruising and swelling. I think they are helping because I barely have any bruising and swelling, but it could be too early to judge since this is only the 2nd day. I will be going back to the clinic for my 1 week follow up on the 6th.

Dr. Buonassisi is professional, but also very friendly and approachable. He will answer any questions you may have to the best of his abilities. It was very easy to book an appointment with him and his director, Angie, is very friendly too. I chose Dr. Buonassisi because of his expertise in facial plastic surgery. He showed me photos of his previous patients who had gone through the procedure he recommended me and they were astonishing.
