WORTH IT$3,900
I found Dr. Taban on Real Self, and upon meeting him in person I realized that the was knowledgeable enough to know how to operate on my eyes.
I chose to have the procedure done under local sedation with injections directly in the lower eyelid, under my eyelashes. He gave me some anti anxiety medicine as I was waiting to get the procedure done and also numbing eye drops right before we started.
Once the injections kicked in, my eyes were totally number and he began to extract the fat under my eyes. The whole time I was awake, eyes open, super calm, and didnt feel a thing. He used the cauterizing tool ( i assume) to burn some space into my eyes to reposition the fat to get rid of the hollowness I also had on top of the puffy eyes.
THe whole thing lasted about an hour and as soon as I was done my friend drove me home and In bed I stayed for 2 days. He gave me mild pain medicine, but as the numbing went away the pain and swolleness began. The first night and half day were rather bad, I also had some headaches but I just pushed thought with ice on my face and tylenol with codeine which the Dr. prescribed.

I think you looked great before and even better now! From what you wrote, did you have the procedure with a laser?

The swelling went down considerably and I can almost move my eyes 360 degrees without any pain. In 4 days I am going for my post op visit and get the tap from under my eyes removed.

How did your post visit tape removal go? Is it painful when they take it off? I wonder why
they put it on? Is it because it's better for you not to see the bruising?! Thanks for sharing.

No, I had zero bruising, maybe because I had taken lots of arnica pills the Dr. provided me before the operation.

No I had fat removal from bags under my eyes. I chose the wrong procedure at first when I made this review.

I am having the operation next week in Barcelona, with a well known oculoplastic surgeon. In my case I have lowere eyelid retraction due to genetic causes, I have also undereye hollowness, which will be filled in with dermal fat tissue

SO it has been 2 months since my surgery and I am extremely happy and grateful I found Dr. Taban. I should have done this surgery 10+ years ago. My eyes looks again and I have zero bags or wrinkles or anything. Its such a big difference I cant even begin to explain.
you were in pain afterwards. Most of the reviews I have read for this procedure say they have very little pain during & afterwards. Was it painful to move your eyes & were they dry too?
