I had a mole removed from my right eyelid and Dr Johnson and the nurses at Matossian Eye Center were great. The procedure was presented to me step by step and followed as planned. It healed really nicely and Im very happy with it!
I needed to have eyelid surgery recently to remove a suspicious growth on my lower right eyelid. I was referred to Dr. Johnson and I had a great experience. The procedure went well and Dr. Johnson, prior to starting, explained what I could expect before, during and after he completed the procedure, which went smoothly. A follow-up appointment went just as well. I would recommend Dr. Johnson to everyone.
My experience with dr. Paul Johnson was excellent he was kind he answered questions he made me feel safe he told me he was going to take care of me and he did it made me feel comfortable and I'm glad that I pick that doctor
Dr. Johnson was professional and explained every step of the procedure. As a person who was very nervous about the surgery, he put me at ease. I would recommend him to anyone who would need a similar procedure. He answered all my questions and had the time and patience to make me feel comfortable.
My eyelid surgery went extremely well! I had been contemplating having it done for several years. From my initial consultation with Dr. Johnson, I could tell he was very knowledgeable, and experienced. He took time to answer all of my questions. He has a very gentle and reassuring bedside manner. He is a consummate professional and highly skilled. This surgery has changed my entire self-image! I am extremely pleased with the results! I can’t thank or praise Dr. Johnson enough! I highly recommend him for anyone considering surgery. Don’t wait like I did, go for it! You won’t be disappointed!
Dr. Paul B. Johnson was very friendly and identified the bump on my lower left eyelid right away. He said we could even remove it in office the same day. He numbed it, cut the bump out, cauterized it, and put a few stitches in. He answered any questions I had and provided a prescription for me to use on the site for two weeks. I had a follow-up to remove the stitches which was painless, and Dr. Johnson was very impressed out how well the incision healed. I highly recommend him.
I really had no issues. Dr. Johnson explained plainly the need for surgery and the procedure that would be followed. He spent plenty of time in preparation for the proper location for the surgery. I do not look like an owl! Healing was very good with no scarring.
Honestly one of the best doctors I’ve went to. I had to get surgery on both eye lids of my right eye and he was able make me feel more comfortable, less anxious, and calm. Especially since I get extremely nervous when it comes to doctors/surgery let alone on the eye.
The surgery was needed to remove eyelid lesions.Dr Johnson did the procedure in his office under local anesthesia. The procedure was without too much pain or discomfort . It took about an hour from the time I arrived until I left his office. The next day my eye felt very good without those lesions irritating my eye.I think he did a outstanding job
My drooping eye lids were obstructing my vision, but I didn't realize how much until after the surgery. I would like to compliment the staff at both Matossian Eye Assoc, Will's Eye Surgical Center and especially Dr. Paul Johnson for the excellent care I received. Great results from a great Surgeon and supporting staff.
Thank you for your question. In general, non-absorbable sutures tend to cause less of a scar. An in-person consultation with a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon can help provide more information.
Thank you for your question. Xylocaine is the brand name of lidcoaine. This anesthetic is commonly combined with epinephrine. The lidocaine component numbs the area to be worked on, while the epinephrine component constricts the surrounding blood vessels to minimize bleeding and bruising. If the procedure is being done under sedation, a type of anesthesia known as MAC (Monitored Anesthesia Care), also known as "twilight" anesthesia is commonly used. An in-person consultation with a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon and/or anesthesiologist can help provide more information.
Thank you for your question and photos. Because the bag only arises when you are smiling, it is most likely caused by an over-acting muscle. Before considering surgery, it might be worthwhile to consider an injection with a neuromodulator such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. An in-person consultation with a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon can provide more information.
Thank you for your question and photos. A good rule of thumb is to press on the upper eyelids with a cotton-tip or the tip of your finger. If the bags bulge out more, they most likely consist of fat. If they do not move, they most likely consist of fluid. In general, blepharoplasty surgery is more helpful in correcting bags that are due to fat instead of fluid. An in-person consultation with a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon can provide more information.
Thank you for your question and photo. A good rule of thumb is to run your fingers along your eyebrows. If any part of your finger can feel the underlying eyeball, a brow lift might be a good idea. An in-person consultation with a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon would help to provide more information.
