Glad I Did It!

For 10 years I have used botox intermittently to help refresh my heavy eyelids. Now at 50, the botox could no longer do the heavy lifting of the redundant, excess skin. I visited/interviewed multiple providers in Wisconsin but ultimately wanted a specialist with many photos of successful outcomes. I did not want to travel to the east or west coast and was happy to find an experienced provider in the midwest, less than 8 hours away. We did a pre-consult via Zoom in October. I went by myself in January and used La Perle Concierge for 8 hours of post-op care. (Mainly to get me to the hotel and check on me the following day) The Columbus Eye Surgery Center is fantastic as is Dr. Straka and his team. I stayed 7 days at a local hotel that offered both breakfast and dinner and it was less than $100/day..like a cruise! Dr. Straka performed upper/lower eye lid bleph with fat repositioning toward my tear troughs as well as fat grafting from the abdomen. I have a smoother contour of my lower eyelids now. I took my 1989 grad photo (big hair and all) so he knew that in general I have always had heavier upper eyelids but just wanted to remove the lax skin. I still look like me only more refreshed. My eyes are much less tired at the end of the day too. Although recommended I did not do the TRL contour laser for the undereye wrinkles. We were spending time in Florida and I knew this would prolong healing. I am so happy with everything and would certainly recommend Dr. Straka as he is an expert in his field of oculoplastic surgery. I will try to post some photos soon.

Thanks for sharing your story! I plan to have the same procedure coming up in a few months. Did the concierge care svc and hotel work out for you? What hotel did you stay at? I plan to travel out by myself, coming from California. How many days would you recommend staying before flying back?
