Eye Ptosis Repair (Very Happy)

I had many nicknames for my droopy eyelid, Wonky, lazy, sleepy, Jeff Bezos eye. It used to be cute in photos, like a little winking lid dancing to the beat of it’s own drum. As I’ve aged it completely lost it’s charm! I would find myself squinting my other eye so the two would somehow resemble each other. I researched the procedure for months and researched finding a doctor even longer. I knew 100% I wanted a specialist. I wanted somebody who knew every thing about the eye ball, lid, muscles and everything in between! I cringed at the thought of a Dr. inserting implants and plumping butts all day and then squeezing in a quick droopy eye at the end of the afternoon. Dr. Amadi came highly recommended from somebody in the aesthetic industry, from there I researched him thoroughly and studied his gallery photos multiple times. Once I had my consultation I knew he would be the “chosen one” he was very knowledgeable and honest about the procedure. He doesn’t come across as stuffy or conceited and he has a great bedside manner. He also has a very slight New York accent which makes listening to him enjoyable. The office staff are all very kind and accommodating, the office itself feels like a beautiful cozy little home that gives you a nice little hug upon entering. Dr. Amadi suggested a conservative upper eyelid lift to eliminate the extra skin that would develop from lifting the lid to it’s correct position. I also ended up having both eyes repaired after discovering the right eye was slightly droopy as well. My whole procedure consisted of ptosis repair and blepharoplasty on both eyelids. I felt no pain during the procedure and was actually very relaxed (kept dozing off). My recovery was very easy and I was up and about the next day. I did have bruising and swelling of course but it really was much milder than I had excepted. I had the procedure done in June, upon going back for my 3 month evaluation, Dr. Amadi felt the left eye could be brought up slightly to make the result perfect. I really barely noticed the difference but I trusted his vision and I agreed to a revision. I mean how fabulous is that?? most doctors wouldn’t even mention it and they’d shuffle you out the door! He’s a perfectionist though, thank goodness! The biggest piece of advice I will give is, wear the ugly black ski goggles he gives you!! You will hate them but they make a huge difference! On my initial surgery I wore them right after surgery and didn’t take them off for 24 hours. On the revision I didn’t wear them and it was a huge difference! My eye was very swollen and bruised! I’m including photos of my eye before surgery and the whole healing process, including the revision. I’m only 2 weeks out from the revision and it looks amazing!!! So happy with the surgery and I highly recommended it. Beyond happy with my choice of Dr. Amadi and I highly recommend him as well!!
