At 57 Years Old, Looking to Fix a Couple of Flaws!

The two things that have bothered me the most are the lines above my upper lip and my droopy eyelids. When I recently had an appointment with my dermatologist about my lips, he recommended that I see Dr. Leon Goldstein for laser treatments for my lips.
So I made an appointment with Dr. Goldstein concerning my lip. While there, I asked him what he could do about my droopy eyelids. He recommended we operate around my eyes to remove my droopy eyelids and eliminate the puffiness under my eyes. Once the eyelid surgery was over and the healing process well underway, he said he would work on my upper lip as a complimentary service.
Dr. Goldstein explained exactly what would take place in both procedures and showed me before and after results of other patients. After talking with him and listening to what he had to say, I felt confident that this was the right thing to do.
We booked the procedure at Westerly Hospital in Rhode Island for a Thursday morning. After being prepped for surgery, Dr. Goldstein visited me to see how I was doing and drew markers around my eyes in preparation for surgery.
The surgery went well. In recovery, I was given cold compresses for my eyes to prevent swelling, antibiotics to prevent infection and an ointment to aid in healing. Yes, instructions were provided and a prescription for pain medication was made available. There was little pain, so these were not needed after the first day or two.
On my way home from the hospital, my husband noticed some bleeding from the sutures around my left eye. When Dr. Goldstein called me that night, he assured me that this was normal and there was nothing to worry about.
The most bruising and swelling occurred during the first four days of recovery. I looked scary! I applied cold compresses and took it easy as told and in a week, I looked much better. During this time, I found the swelling around my eyes to be the most uncomfortable part of the healing, but Dr. Goldstein explained that the skin around the eyes is very thin and sensitive and some swelling is to be expected. Keep using cold compresses!
Eight days after surgery, D. Goldstein removed the stiches and I was back to work that day. Now I must remember to massage the area around my eyes to reduce a small amount of residual swelling.
It has been eight weeks after surgery and Dr. Goldstein has begun laser treatment on my upper lip. I am pleased.
I have to say, just felt confident from the first visit with Dr. Goldstein. This is the best investment I've made for myself. You want to feel good about yourself go see Dr. Goldstein, he can fix it for you! Totally satisfied!!!
