Don't Postpone Joy

I wanted an upper bleph for several years now, but as a 36 year old I was cautious that I may be jumping the gun a bit. After doing some research (I 100% wanted an expert in eye plastic surgery - an oculoplastic surgeon - rather than someone who was only doing eye procedures once a week and breast aug every other day), I decided to just go for it and not postpone joy, since I'm sure I would end up doing it in my 40s or 50s. I found Dr. Gandhi here on RealSelf and he has fantastic reviews. I was impressed at my first consultation, rather then just tell me 'Yes, there's enough skin to take off, let's book you now for the procedure' instead he said he'd like to see me in another month after my Botox had completely worn off so that he could get a better baseline. To me, that signaled he was most concerned with making an accurate assessment of my needs rather than rushing to get me on the books - green flag! So I went back for another consultation, he was very thorough measuring and doing a full eye exam (my vision is not obscured but it's good to check overall eye health as well). All interactions leading up to my surgery made me feel comfortable and supported. The procedure itself wasn't exactly pleasant (unsurprisingly!) but Dr. Gandhi and his assistant checked on me constantly so I felt well taken care of. Now for the most important info: I LOVE my results! It's so much easier to put eyeliner on and I no longer have the asymmetry that has bothered me for years. As an aside, during my healing process I had a routine skin check at my Johns Hopkins dermatologist and the derm asked me where I had my eyes done (still had visible stitches). When I told her it was Dr. Gandhi, she said "Oooooh he is very well regarded!" and said my eyes looked great. One more thing, Dr. Gandhi and his assistant never pressured me to buy their skincare products or to get other injectables they offer ('tox, filler, etc.) which is really refreshing considering most medspas absolutely make you feel pressured.
