What a difference - I look natural and more bright-eyed

amazing all around. dr. lane is a rock star!! consultation: i immediately felt super comfortable especially since dr. lane was up front about what she could and could not do ( i knew i couldn't look 20 again however i like it when surgeons are realistic about expectations ) - that matters a LOT especially since i had a really negative experience with a rhinoplasty surgeon (Mark Constantian - no longer practicing) who promised me the moon, the stars, everything. dr. lane delivered, more so than i could've hoped for to be honest. i've struggled with hereditary dark undereye circles since the dawn of time and now, i am happy to go outside without spending at least 45 minutes trying to perfect undereye concealer than ends up looking cakey and gross anyway - i've tried pretty much ALL of concealers, all eye creams, all of anything that gave any hope of working magic on the darkness. i should've just had this surgery 30+ years ago but then i wouldn't have met dr. lane so i guess everything happens as it should. along with my lower blepharoplasty, i had my upper lids done too. wow, what a difference! i don't look "overdone". i look natural, more bright-eyed and also like i actually got some real sleep. i'm going back for a touch of filler next month as that's something i had planned on doing anyway. the recovery was so easy compared to other procedures i've been through (two rhinoplasty/septoplasty surgeries along with a breast reduction surgery too - all super painful recovery periods for me). the gross stuff (bleeding, crusty goodness, goop etc) was very minimal, i was given some pain medication as i tend to be a bit of a baby when it comes to pain and boom, it was needed for the first 2 days...after that, i was up and around although i didn't drive for 6 days to be safe.

what else can i say? the staff at both her office and the surgical center were amazing - it happened to be my birthday the day i had the procedure done and i remember all the staff wishing me a happy birthday as i was wheeled in, saying what a great gift i was giving myself. seriously, if dr. lane did ALL of what i need fixing (ahem, septum for one), she would be my go-to. if only. but i plan on dr. lane being mine, at least for my eyes, for the rest of my life.

to reiterate: i cannot say enough good things about dr. lane as well as both staffs at her office and the surgery center she operates in when patients are going under general anesthesia (which i do believe in most instances, you have a choice of general or local, situation dependent of course).

thank you SOOOOOO much dr. lane and company - truly outstanding work. i also love that dr. lane was just as excited as i was about the results - you can tell she loves her career and takes extreme pride in her work. she's also funny, easy going, happy, smiley and in general, just fabulous. i'd give her a big hug right now if i could :) hopefully i can come back and edit this to add photos (i don't have any comparison photos at this point but i plan on uploading some as soon as i do). i hope this helps anyone who is considering eyelid surgery in the new england area. i traveled 2 hours each way to see her - well worth it. i would've traveled 5x that long if i had to. okay, i'll stop gushing now but she really is fantastic!!!!
