• 15 Feb 2017

This is my second review of Dr. Taban following an almond eye surgery for lower lid retraction repair on both eyes and ptosis correction on my right eye (a ptosis that was revealed as a result of Herring's law when I had fixed my left eye congenital ptosis). I honestly cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. Taban for the miracle he pulled off with my eyes. You can see in the before and after pictures that my face is just completely changed by the procedure. He is the only one you should ever entrust your eyes to for any procedure involving the eyes. His staff is super easy to work with and very on top of things. On the morning of the surgery, Dr. Taban saw me before I was wheeled off for twilight sedation. He patiently went over the procedures once again and assured me he would do his best to achieve the results I wanted. He is very humble and does not like over promising, but he certainly over delivers! I didn't feel a thing during the surgery and had minimal pain. The swelling was very bad because this was my second surgery on both eyes (I had left eye ptosis and upper bleph and right eye bleph prior) and I am not going to lie, it left me very uneasy. Dr. Taban kept asking me to be patient... and I just wasn't. I would email him questions every day or every other day and I was overall very anxious even though I rationally understood why passage of time was critical before I could judge results. Almost 2 months later, my results are truly extraordinary and the scars on the side are not very visible at all. I am sure they will continue to soften with time. I wanted to post so that everyone who is considering this procedure has a chance to look at my results and ask me any questions they might have. My hope is that everyone who needs help can be helped by Dr. Taban.
