Revitalized eyes - I got my high self-esteem back

I am delighted to share my opinion of Dr. Taban performing corrective eye surgery for me 13 months ago. Prior to finding him online, I experienced severe lower eyelid retraction due to a botched lower blepharoplasty surgery. Additionally, the first surgeon I chose to fix the retraction oversold his skill set and failed to resolve the issue. The third time was the charm, however.

In my initial consultation with Dr. Taban, he evaluated my dilemma, and I instantly knew he was highly qualified as an oculoplastic surgeon. He pointed out the fact that I had slightly bulging eyeballs. It wasn’t extreme, but I never would have been a candidate for transcutaneous blepharoplasty. That is the type performed on me that botched my eyes, but instead he would have performed the transconjunctival technique on me. Then he shared with me different options on how he would correct my eyes. Factoring in costs and the percentages he gave me of the level that my lower eyelids would be restored to, I chose to have skin grafts taken and put underneath each eye.

I wasn’t mentally prepared for how my eyes would look post-surgery because of the super redness underneath them. For the first 2 months, I didn’t want to be seen in public. I also suffer from perfectionism and proposed to Dr. Taban my desire to have even more surgery to bring my lower eyelids higher up. Some doctors may have seen dollar signs at the opportunity to earn more money performing another surgery. However, Dr. Taban told me that he wouldn’t want to do anything else as it pertained to further trying to adjust the height of my lower eyelids. I was disappointed with his response, but that’s precisely why you should choose Dr. Taban as your oculoplastic surgeon. Not only is he one of the top doctors in the world, but he also has integrity. He knew what was in my best interest. Any more poking and prodding to achieve that “perfect height”, would have had negative effects and ruin the quality surgery he performed on me.

It took me about 11 months to fully comprehend the magnitude of Dr. Taban’s expertise in making me look normal again. The redness underneath my eyes slowly faded away and the color of my skin grafts is continuing to blend in with the existing skin around my eyes. More importantly, I got my high self-esteem back and am consistently proud to look in the mirror again. I recently got in a relationship, and I never felt compelled to share with my girlfriend about my surgery. That’s a testament to Dr. Taban’s expertise because the results of him performing the corrective surgery on my eyes looks natural and convincing.

I strongly recommend that anyone considering cosmetic or reconstructive eye surgery, to choose Dr. Taban as your oculoplastic surgeon. Additionally, he has a friendly and caring staff. I endorse his talents, and I am 100% confident you will be satisfied with your results.
