I recently underwent lower eyelid surgery with Dr. John Martin and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. After searching for a year and receiving a recommendation from another plastic surgeon, I found Dr. John Martin and was incredibly impressed. The results are amazing, and I highly recommend him! Dr John Martin is an amazing surgeon.
I have had various procedures/skin treatments over many years that have all been awesome. He also successfully removed silicone lumps from my lips and did a beautiful job. Over the years, he has told me that some of my concerns or requests for work were not necessary/premature, and I greatly appreciate that looking back. He is a kind and honest man and his staff is fantastic! Highly recommend.
I had a small fatty deposit on my left upper eyelid that I wanted removed. I had a laser treatment that was very fast. The scab is not so noticeable. It should fall off in a few days and the skin heals without any scarring. I just hope it doesn't come back again. The doctor and staff were friendly and professional. The fee was also very reasonable.As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

Had the facial fat transfer four days ago with Dr. Martin. I am very impressed with his entire office staff. They were very patient and caring. Dr. Martin is an AMAZING doctor! He made me feel very comfortable, never rushes and is willing to explain all details of the procedures and treatments they offer. I’ve been to several doctors for procedures throughout many years. He is simply the BEST !
Dr Martinis a miracle worker. I could not be happier with my results- took 20 years off my face. He is gentle, thorough and great at what he does. Highly recommend Dr Martin and his staff- they are the best- always welcoming and kind.
Dr. John Martin is the real deal. He is highly skilled and reasonably priced. I have been going to him for various facial and neck procedures for over 10 years. I would not even consider going elsewhere. Dr. Martin has never kept me waiting and his staff are remarkably friendly and responsive. Also, he takes the time to attend various conferences and is on the cutting edge of new procedures and laser technology. His office in Coral Gables is equipped with the most effective lasers in the market. I have total trust in Dr. Martin and strongly recommend you consult with him when a facial or neck procedure is being considered. You will be very pleased to be sure.
Dr Martin has been the best physician I could have hoped to work with for my first procedure. Extremely professional and warm beyond belief, him and his team! Made me feel heard and cared for. Amazing results! THANK YOU,
After much deliberation I decided to make an appointment with Dr Martin. I was immediately at ease with the office staff and Dr Martin. I was treated with the utmost professionalism. After the surgery I received excellent care and at the follow up the next day. I am more than happy with my results and would definitely recommend Dr Martin.
I have accompanied 2 friends that have had big procedures done with beautiful results. I decided to give myself a little treat and I am so glad I did. The entire office is so kind and Dr. Martin is so genuine and patient , he will put you right at ease. Do not hesitate to make an appointment.
we often will correct a ptosis from the underside of the lid so that you have no external incisions. In the office we put a drop in your eyes to evaluate the internal Mueller's muscle. The amount of lift you get with the drop then helps us to determine how much correction you will need. The lid is flipped over in the OR and some of this muscle is removed. Quick recovery for most patients.
You do have a lot of excess skin for your age which can be genetic. You would do well with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty to remove some of the excess skin.
You have ptosis of the upper eyelids, so you see more of the lid than you would like. You can do surgery to fix the ptosis, and this will decrease the amount of lid you see. There are also drops that you can use to elevate the lid, but you have to use these twice a day.
You have a deep set eye with prominent full brow. You can see in the before picture that you have some redundant skin, but not a lot of fat behind it. When that skin is removed, you will usually look a little bit more hollow. However it does not look like they took too much skin. You have a nice crease and platform, with some skin still there. Everything will eventually drop again!
You are correct - the fat which is transferred has the stem cells. There is no need to add additional stem cells which may be of little use anyway.
