Pretty Eyes!

I wanted to get an Upper Blepharoplasty for several years, but was hesitant due to cost, fear for my eyes, looking like a gargoyle, etc. My eyelids were drooping so much that my lashes were being pulled out by the skin flap and it was beginning to affect my vision. I did research a few doctors & clinics. My PCP suggested that I contact Dr. Michalak as a possibility. I got to "interview" him re his surgery. He was very informative and patient with all of my questions. I even spoke with a couple of his staff. Long story short, I set up an appt. The procedure, cost and aftermath were explained with time for my questions so that I would have full knowledge of what to expect. Each step was explained again at each pre-surgery appointment and just prior to the surgery. The procedure was odd but not frightening or uncomfortable and it went very well. Afterward I didn't experience much discomfort at all. The "carnival" ice mask helped and was fun. I followed all the recommendations for convalescence and the healing process went quite well. Even with the slight puffiness, it was not as dire as I had anticipated. I actually looked "normal" the week following the surgery, at least to me. My lids were still somewhat dark but it looked like eye shadow instead of bruising. I am at about 6 months healing and I think it looks fabulous! I'm very pleased with the results and also pleased with Dr. Michalak and his staff.
