I am a 55 year old man who is not planning to retire any time soon. It is important for me to look well and be ready to perform like a much younger man. I noticed that wrinkles and circles developed under my eyes making me tired looking and wanted to do something about it that was not a surgery.
I was referred by a co worker to Dr Messina in Commack , which surprised me because I didn't really think about males getting plastic work.
Dr. Messina recommended Restylane for the areas under my eyes , the guy who referred me got Jueverderm but Dr Messina didn't like that under the eyes and thought that the Restylane was better in that area so I trusted him. (Aside , he does have a calmness about him that makes you feel comfortable)
I thought being it was a shot in my face and just under the eye it would hurt but no , it barely hurt at all. He used a special flat point needle( sorry I forgot the real name) but he made a little nick in the skin and put the needle into that.
The results were instant and got better in a few days. Dr. Messina said that this area is full of capillaries and I may see a bruise but that didn't happen. He also said expect it to go for 9-12 months which is good with me.
I am sending my 2 photos one before and one 5 minutes after we were done. Im not yellow like the first picture, I took that one with my cell the other was Dr. Messina's camera.
