Lower blepharoplasty w/ laser resurfacing - thrilled with the results

This was my first cosmetic surgical procedure and I was very nervous. I had loss of volume around my eyes combined with excess skin/fatty tissue folds , and I had been wanting to address the issue for several years but was too nervous. I can honestly say my experience with Dr. Perenack and his staff was wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience, from the initial consultation to post-op evaluation, and I felt consistently comfortable, and confident in their care. The staff goes above and beyond in terms of kindness and patience. I chose Dr. Perenack because of his experience, and meeting with him in person helped affirm that he understood my concerns and what I was hoping for . He was clear with me about what he thought he could achieve, and the likely outcome, and I valued the honesty immensely. My greatest fear was an “over done” approach, but I felt certain after walking away from the consult that I was in good hands and his goal was to achieve a improved but natural appearance. And he did…(!) I am thrilled with the results, still look like ‘me’ but my eyes look much more youthful and I ‘feel’ less puffy. I was red for longer than most (from my understanding) after the laser resurfacing (done with the surgery); I was just more sensitive to it I think. Maybe two weeks of pretty bright redness around the eyes, and it took my peeling skin longer to heal again about two weeks) . But make up concealed it quite well after 1 week (too raw to wear any make up the first week). I had the luxury of taking off that first week, but something to think about if you need to go back to work. Looking back I have no regrets – those two weeks of redness seem such a small sacrifice in comparison to the results achieved, as the laser really helped reduce the thin wrinkly looking skin under my eyes and tightened the area overall. Thank you Dr. Perenack and his lovely staff for making this surgery such a success and improving my confidence overall :) !
