I am a mid 20's Asian girl with EXTREME monolids...
I had my double eyelid surgery a year ago using the suture method. I heard great things about Dr. B, and that he specialized in asian facial surgeries. When I did my research, I didn't know why they called it "Asian" eyelid surgery before, but apparently it is because 50% of asians have monolids - and 100% of Caucasians don't. Through my consultation with Dr. B, him and his staff, especially Angie, Mandy, and Katie made me really feel like I was being taken care of. I had a bunch of questions that were answered - and Dr. B was very honest about what could and could not be done. I chose the suture method because I work 4 jobs, so I can't really get much time off work, if I had more time - I would probably choose the incisional method (although I am very happy with my results, the incisional method just seems like a more permanent approach down 15-20 years).
The surgery itself was very quick and not as scary as I thought it would be. I was nervous, but it just felt like I was going to the dentist. During the first week after my surgery, my eyelids were a bit bruised and the swelling made my double eyelids look quite good. The bruising wasn't very noticeable - unless I was blinking, but I wore glasses to cover it anyways. After the first week, I looked great. The bruising was gone, and I already felt so much more confident, I don't even wear makeup when I go out sometimes now. (Not wearing makeup really saves me a lot of time and money on all of that expensive fake lashes and lash glue!! Double bonus!)
It's been almost a year after my surgery, and I can say I am very happy with 8 West and Dr. Buonassisi is THE GUY to go to for asian eyelid surgeries. I've even recommended him to all of my friends considering asian nose surgeries too!
Provider Review
Dr. B is the best doc ever!! After looking up his credentials, I found out he actually specializes in facial plastics. Before learning about him, I looked at alot of other doctors, but they were all general plastic surgery docs - I wanted a SPECIALIST who knew what he was doing. Someone who knew the face inside out. I didn't want someone who was doing a boob job surgery one day, and doing something to my face the next. Dr. B is very honest, approachable, and attentive. He is the type of guy that will give you a clear explanation about what is achievable and what is honest. Major props to honesty! And I can tell he spends a lot of time training his staff because everyone knows exactly what they are talking about.
