Excellent Doctor, Skilled and Trustworthy
Mrs. MIRApril 16, 2020
After doing weeks of research on various professional websites and doing comparison research I decided on Dr. Forley. He did all the "checks" on paper (years of experience, similar procedures, top doctor, excellent reviews) and after meeting him a couple of times at his office and seeing some real photos in person I decided to follow through. I met with about 3 doctors before making my decision.
My issues were the tear trough and eyebag area. The bags were starting to get puffy back in 2016 and were making me look tired and too serious. Concealer wasn't enough - if anything, it was making them more noticeable. I had tried filler (with another doctor) and it wasn't done correctly (superficial). I decided instead of repeatedly doing fillers (trial and error) I rather invest the money for the long haul and get it done right with an expert so they look natural. I think eyes are worth the investment. That’s when I started to look into Dr. Forley for the procedure.
Dr. Forley is professional, patient, kind, relaxed (not rushing you out to get to the next person), thorough, and understanding. He also provides options for you to think through. Dr. Forley would remind me of what we discussed (its a lot of information to process and one can feel a little anxious and not remember everything). I felt relaxed and decided to proceed. His staff is also professional, thorough and very personable. They are responsive and follow through on emails and phone calls.
I did the procedure one month ago. I followed the specific instructions exactly to ensure the best benefits on my part. He did a wonderful job. I had no issues at all and when I woke up I felt fine. I had some swelling and bruising (which is normal) and it took about 14 days (I would say 10 days but for the final yellow bruising to go away - technically 14 days). My eyes felt fine, no itching, no dry eyes, and as the days progressed my eyes started to look better than normal. I was healing quickly.
I am so happy that I went through with the procedure. I was very nervous in the beginning but with his years of skill and experience with people, it was the best match for me. Also, my eyes look normal but without the bags. I look like i’m in my 20’s and I’m in my late 40’s.
