Flawless Results, Pain Free Quick Recovery

Flawless, natural results, pain free and quick recovery
I am 49 years old, Eastern European background. I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty and a ptosis ( drooping eye) repair. This was my first eye surgery. I would like to share some highlights of my amazing experience with Dr. Taban and his office team.
Dr. Taban is so thorough. I had 2 zoom consultations and he did another thorough consult during my pre-op appointment, the day before surgery. He personally went over all the meds and ointments and how to take care of my eyes after the surgery. Something I really appreciated.
Dr. Taban and his office is very responsive. Dr. Taban answers all of his own emails and is thorough in answering questions. I feel that Dr. Taban is down-to-earth and approachable.
Dr. Taban personally took out my sutures one week after surgery. His hands are weightless- I didn’t feel anything. He also did a filler injection on my left brow and I didn’t feel anything.
I came from Atlanta and had a lot of questions. Zaira was very helpful and responsive. Overall, office team is very responsive, helpful and down-to-earth. I felt supported during my procedure despite traveling alone to LA.
The office recommends Visiting Angels of LA for nursing care. I worked with them for 3 days, for about 4 hours each day and they picked me up from the office after surgery. Very nice service and so much more affordable than some other places I called. I had a nurse’s aid and that’s really the highest skill they need to have to help with driving, ice packs etc.
Surprisingly easy recovery. I didn’t need any pain meds. Just the ice on my eyes ( I used ziplock bags( I purchased 3 packs of the gallon ziplock ) and crushed ice from the hotel where I stayed (Pendry West Hollywood) and applied to my eyes using a dry sterile gauze as a barrier). I slept on my back using a bunch of pillows to support my head and neck. I used the systane lubricant eye drops that are individually packaged and single use. These are a lifesaver since you cannot wet your eyes for a week. I used these a few times a day to keep my eyes clean and the drops were especially helpful in cleaning out the ointment in the morning after placing it in my eyes at night. I also would suggest purchasing large sterile gauze pads that are individually wrapped. They really helped me when I needed to clean my eyes and I used them as a barrier under the bags of ice.
When my eyes itched, I used sterile Q-tips that I brought with me to gently tap on the area- that was also really helpful.
With the dropping eye repair (ptosis), a very soft lens is placed in the eye for one week. It was not a nuisance at all and I barely noticed it. My vision was decent for the week of recovery. I would not have driven that week despite not having pain or too much swelling.
I was able to shower with my back to the water so no water got into my eyes and I spot cleansed my face with the sterile gauze to avoid water reaching my eyes.
Overall, I didn’t feel sick or tired during the one week recovery. I walked around the hotel every day and sat outside on the deck. I was not bedridden.
Overall, my experience was very positive and my results are flawless. There is no part of my eyes that I don’t LOVE. My eyes look very young, natural, and they are fully functional. I didn’t have a single issue after my surgery with Dr. Taban and I have gotten so many compliments. Dr. Taban is a world-class specialist and it was worth the trip and extra expenses to get my results. Thank you for taking such great care of me.
