WORTH IT$6,300
Dr. Geroulis far exceeded my expectations in revision upper eyelid repair surgery, done by an occuloplastic surgeon years ago.
The original surgeon had left me with asymmetry, a lot of scar tissue, extra skin, and fat that should have been removed. It also appeared one eye didn't close all the way while asleep.
I had consulted with 2 other cosmetic surgeons and even 2 "top" occuloplastic surgeons, all who had turned me away and said my case was too risky and inoperable.
Being a Chicago native, I had heard Dr. Geroulis' name before, but when I saw his work pop up on Realself.com, I felt I should consult with him ASAP.
During the consultation, Dr Geroulis will not just tell you what you want to hear. He will be honest about what can be done and is modest in making promises. I respect that! I also had a hunch that I would be very pleasantly surprised, based on his confidence, experience and expertise, along with the before/after a I saw of other patients.
Both the downtown office and Northfield surgical center are pristine and beautiful. The staff and surgical team were all very friendly, professional, and caring. Vanessa is great and will help walk you through preparing for your surgery and aftercare in a clear and concise manner. Wait time was never long for any time I was in the office. A lot of times I was early!
I was kept comfortable, with warm blankets during the couple hour surgery and recovery has been a breeze so far. I am nearly a week post-op and can already see such a major difference in both the aesthetics and functionality of my eyelids. I already have the highly coveted "bedroom eyes" that I wanted and look years younger!
Dr. Geroulis is a kind and compassionate professional with an eye for aesthetic balance and has saved my eyes when even an occuloplastic surgeon (3 of them!) could not. I could not be happier and would recommend him to anyone considering facial cosmetic surgery. Especially when considering your eyes.

He's simply the best in the area. Compassionate, kind and many years of experience. 5 Drs turned me away and he was the only competent dr who saw what needed to be fixed and has the ability to do so.

Day 7.
Can't wait to get the rest of the stitches out! 3 more days! I will post again at that point.
Everything is looking good. My Dr. was very pleased with his results. I know my case was very complex, so seeing the happiness on his face with his own results gave me a great sense of satisfaction, myself. I just KNEW it was a huge success then!

Oooh, can't wait to see it in another week with all the stitches out. Please do post more pics. I'm getting this done in 6 weeks.

I definitely will! I'm excited to get these out. The healing has been easy breezy so far.

The reason the Dr only removed the outer corner stitches and not all of them at the 6-7 day mark is because he had to do such extensive work in the area from mid to inner corners of my eyes and I was still very tight and swollen there.
He didn't want to risk the incision opening up so that's why we are waiting a few more days to heal and swelling to subside.

Thanks for starting a review and for posting pics- definitely keep us posted on the rest of your healing!
