How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

The verdict
I have had a bit of on-off under eye swelling and wanted to wait until it was all settled before giving my final review of the procedure and PS.
Now everything is good and I LOVE it. I am thrilled with the result! Doing this was totally the right decision.

Waiting for the paint to dry
Meanwhile here's some photos taken today. As you can see there's still a bit of swelling left.
Thought I'd also mention what I thought was useful post op:
- I spent a fortune on fancy cool pads. They were way too heavy. Ziplock bags with a handful of frozen fruit placed over wet gauze was much better.
- Buy sanitary gauze packs and lots of, for cleaning and putting under the ice.
- Q tips for cleaning and putting ointment on.
- I liked using saline water like in the hospital under the ice so bought a few small pouches of that.
- A good, squishy travel pillow was fantastic added comfort for those nights sleeping elevated on pillows. It also kept my head central so I didn't fret about rolling and pulling anything.
- It would have been useful to have some over the counter panadiene (panadol and codeine). I needed a bit more than panadol at nights but the prescription pain killers were far too strong after the second night.
- Laxitives - oh-me-oh-my, the troubles all those meds caused!
- Good quality skincare products. The anaesthetic nailed my skin and turned it into a big flaky mess. Any concealer I used to hide the bruises looked terrible over all the dryness.

Looking better every day
I've been quiet for a while because I am still a little bruised and puffy so nothing much new to report. Every day the swelling goes down a bit more and I get a glimpse of the end result, which is very good.
I went shopping today. It was brilliant! Malls were the pits before - all that downward strip lighting, every time I caught my reflection I'd see those great, horrid sausages on my face! Now, even with the bruising, I look 100 times better. Yay!
I'm not putting my official PS rating up until I get to see the end result, but I would absolutely recommend him based on my experience so far.

I really like David Gillett. He is friendly, understanding and not at all pushy. He did a wonderful job of my eyes. His staff are all lovely and really set you at ease.
