The Right Man for the Job

DANYC
WORTH IT
I am so happy I found this doctor! He is professional, very knowledgeable and detail- oriented. He performed a lower and upper bleph on me this summer and it was definitely worth it. I look a lot more rested now and you can't really tell that I did anything at all (except that the under-eye bags are gone, the lids are no longer drooping and people think I had a good night sleep). I don't have to take pictures with sunglasses any more:) When it comes to your eye area, look no further! This is the man for the job! Great skills and highly recommended. Take a look and see for yourself.

You look great! No scarring and very natural looking!

Thanks! Considering I had it done in July, not bad at all.

Not at all!!! In fact, it's all good! And he's right here in NYC! I really would like to see him!!!

Do you have any discomfort from the stitches. I am. 6 weeks post surgery and have a lot of discomfort and pulling. The doctor said to be patient. My eyes look good but I am soooo uncomfortable.
September 8, 2019
Hi! Honestly, I do not have any discomfort now. My discomfort was the first 3 weeks with lots if itching in the eyelids area. No pulling though. I guess wait a few more weeks and see what happens. I hope it goes away soon:)

Thank you for your input. Going to see doctor Friday for2 month checkup. Am in a lot of discomfort at the corners of both eyes. However, my eye bags are gone!

You look amazing! So beautiful, and what a great job. Can I ask around how much the surgery cost? I'm from NYC, live in Northern CA now, and would love to have my eyes done in NY if it made good sense. Thanks in advance!

Hello and thank you! Glad you like it. I did both upper and lower and it was around $9500. Good luck in your search for a dr. (I recommend Brett Kotlus:)

Hello! You look wonderful! Would you have a couple of ‘before’ pics you could share so we can see the difference? Thank you so much!
September 16, 2019
Hello! Thanks for the compliment. I posted the pics (before and after). I hope you can see the the difference:)

Hi! May I ask if he removed skin from your lowers?
September 22, 2019
Hi! Yes, he did laser treatment on my lowers.
September 23, 2019
Hello! May I ask what kind of laser treatment he did under your eyes? Was it CO2 or Erbium Yag laser? How was the recovery from the laser? Did it take a long time for the redness to go away? Thank you so much!!
September 26, 2019
Hello! Frankly, I have no idea what kind of laser he used (I don't even know the difference between the two you mentioned). Recovery from the laser was no bad at all. Since I did both upper and lower, the worst period is week #1. I was all bruised and swollen; first blue then purple around the eyes. I looked like I stepped into a rink with Mike Tyson and I lost:) However, I knew this was coming, so week #1 I did not go out at all. Soon after that (one week later) it started healing gradually. The skin under my eyes were the laser was used had to be moisturized all the time (dr. prescribed a cream). So after a week, it started to peel and fresh skin appeared. It really looked good overall. Just be very careful who to go to, as I get responses from many (unhappy) people, complaining of pulling/itching/discomfort 2 months later. I am 2 months later at this point and totally healed. So I guess I can give you one advice- choose your surgeon carefully! Hope this helps.

Here are before/after photos of the eyes. The large under-eye bags and the drooping eyelids are gone. Will not miss them.
I highly recommend upper/lower bleph to anyone and everyone who looks tired and exhausted (even though you may not be necessarily). It is still you, just rested and NOT tired.
