The most reassuring doctor I ever had. He addressed all my concerns . He said i think you will also benefit with a little cheek injections as well. I expressed to Dr.. Karimi that I am very concerned about bruising. (Due to the last doctor in 2007 had me looking like a monster for years) He stated the procedure I used want cause and bruising maybe just a little swelling if any and that will go down in a few days. He showed me several pictures of his works which made me feel comfortable and that he is very experienced in undereyes injections. His work looked very natural. I was sold

Fast forward to the day of my surgery. Nerves ,nerves , nerves. His RN said, "don't worry everyone who leaves here is very happy." So, now I am in the hot chair and Dr Karimi gives me these stress balls to hold and put on some relaxing music and started injecting and sculpting. He was like a Michael Angelo.... as he injects my cheeks and eyes, he was just sculpting away. As he finished one eye he showed me the results . He completed my injections and wow what a nice natural results.
He had me ice a bit and he said, I will see you in 2 weeks and if there is any adjustments that need to be done, we will do at that time.

I will update you in about 2 weeks. But so far I like it

I don't know about the cheek surgery, but I do know from working for a plastic surgeon for several years that the only way to remove the bags is through a blepharoplasty. I also know from my own experience. I have been getting restylene injections and other injections for 30 years and they are great for about six months if I am lucky. I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty in 1980 and I looked great until about two years ago.I hope this will not happen to you and look forward to hearing your success in one or two years.

Thanks for the comment. That is in my future plan but wanted to set how this went first. You said, you had blepharoplsty in the 1980 and it looked great for so long. That's very impressive. What will you do now to your undereyes?

I had another lower blepharoplasty and canthopexy. It was a failed surgery with the left eye and the canthopexy. I now have an appointment for December 22nd, with a different plastic surgeon (never go back to someone who has given you a bad result)to have a revision of both lower eyelids and a canthopexy by a ocular plastic surgery. I was fortunate with my first surgery as the surgeon was my employer and is still my good friend. Unfortunately, he retired this year. Please read the reviews carefully because after the fact, I reread the reviews of the surgeon who did my surgery in January and found that although he had top marks in over 300 plus surgeries, I would say 99% of them were breast augmentations. Only use an ocular plastic surgeon. Also if the surgeon charges more than $50 for a consultation, find someone else. Don't get too excited if the doctor and the personnel are so kind because if your surgery is a failure you will find they are not so kind. I know from being a consultant for many years in both the medical and dental field that some of the surgeons who do not have the best personality are really the best ones. I really get turned off when I read some reviews when future patients have been to a plastic surgeon and report how wonderful the visit was and how kind everyone was at their visit. The bottom line is how are you going to look and how happy you are going to be after the surgery is performed!
