Very happy with the subtle results - I look younger and refreshed

I am a 60 year old woman and I was tired of looking tired! There are a lot of plastic surgeons in Los Angeles so it's important to find the right one. Surgery is a big deal and time commitment. I consulted with a few different doctors but felt like I was being pressured to book services and surgeries I didn't want (or need). I contacted Dr. Massry and knew I found the right doctor. He is personable, kind and very talented. His staff is very efficient and friendly. Dr. Massry was honest about what he could and couldn't do to fix the problem. I was experiencing some drooping on my right eye and required ptosis repair. I had bags and wrinkles under my eyes and looked tired and my forehead had lines and wrinkles. Dr. Massry reccomended upper/lower blepharoplasty with ptosis repair, fat transfer and brow lift. The surgery center he used was very professional and convenient. The recovery was definitely a journey. It wasn't too painful until the swelling and bruising set in and I'm not going to lie - it was intense. I could barely see out of my eyes. I had the expectation that it was going to be rough for a few weeks. I followed all of Dr. Massry's instructions and it helped immensely. He was available when I had any questions or concerns post op. I bought Theraice packs and rotated them on/off every hour. I slept with my head elevated, used arnica and bromelain supplements (for swelling) and stayed on top of the meds and eye drops. My eyes were very sore and bloodshot. I got a pair of big sunglasses that mostly covered the tape under my eyes so I was able to go outside for walks. I recommend taking photos of yourself every day just so you can track the progress otherwise you will think you're not making much improvement. It helps. The recovery is going to be difficult and painful for awhile but will get better each day and week. I kept my focus on the end result and now I am two months post op and it looks great! The result is not dramatic, it is subtle. I look younger and refreshed. My eyes aren't tired and droopy anymore. The bags under my eyes are gone. My forehead looks nice and smooth. The wrinkles are gone. When I look at the before and after pictures it looks like a different person!. I still have some healing to do but I am happy with my decision to use Dr. Massry. I highly recommend him. Don't hesitate to call Dr. Massry. He's the best!
