The Plastic Surgeon That Other Surgeons Recommend!
WORTH IT
I highly recommend Dr. Pautler! I'm 60 and she performed upper eyelid and "gliding brow" lift surgery on me. This was my first plastic surgery experience, and notwithstanding some nerves, I had utmost trust in Dr. Pautler and am delighted with the results. Others describe her as an "artist", and I agree.
Dr. Pautler was recommended to me by my daughter who is a surgical physician assistant at St. Clair Hospital. If she trusted Dr. Pautler, then so did I, so I traveled to Pittsburgh from my home in Maryland for my surgery. At our initial consultation I expressed unhappiness about my sagging eyelids, and she advised that the upper eyelid and a brow lift was how I would achieve my desired result. She listened patiently and understood my goals. She explained to me in thorough detail both the eyelid and brow procedures, do's and don'ts before and after, and what to expect in recovery. My trust in Dr. Pautler was furthered when I flipped through the notebooks with hundreds of Before & After photos of her patients; they all looked completely natural and refreshed, which was imperative to me.
For the first 24 hours post-surgery, my eyelids felt "raw" and teary, but ice-cold cotton rounds felt very good. (Tip: since it felt better to keep my eyes closed, I recommend listening to an audiobook to help pass the time.) Other than a very mild headache (which I think was more from the compression bandage than from the actual surgery), I had no issues with the brow lift part of the surgery. The hemostatic net sutures from the gliding brow lift did look a bit scary for the 48 hours they were in, and for 24 hours after removal, but I promise that after another 24-48 hours, all the forehead marks disappear! Everything that I experienced had been explained to me in advance and was expected. I got by with taking just extra-strength Tylenol because heavier narcotics make me queasy, and it was fine.
From start to finish, it was an easy and pleasant experience, and one I would willingly repeat. I felt well-informed during the entire process, both from Dr. Pautler's office and St. Clair's Dunlap Outpatient center. Dr. Pautler is so wonderful and skilled, and her office staff is so kind - Darlene at the front desk, nurse Nicole, office manager Cara. I felt like family when I was there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
