I am just now getting to writing this review. I...

I am just now getting to writing this review. I will have to do another review for rhinoplasty. However for the upper and lower eyelids surgery, I am so thankful I did. I had excessive skin above and below and removing some skin and correcting some on the droppyness on my left eye was necessary in order for me to keep youthfulness and remain attractive. My results are amazing. I hope the photos don't confuse you.

1. I show a picture of my eyes 8 months after surgery. On Dec 4, 2015, I had stitches on both top and bottom and could barely open eyes to see. I used some ointment my doctor gave me , but I also used a product called emu oil that I purchased from Total Life Changes. I think this is the reason for my quick and amazing recovery. So many people recommended items I purchased for surgery, but I wanted to give emu oil a try, as it did well with my burns and bruises in the past. The emu oil elsewhere is not the same. Apply a small amount at night. I've used this oil on my breast lift scars (can't show my breast but amazing results in scars/cut), rhinoplasty has no evidence of scars, and my eye surgery.

2. OK, now recently, I needed to go back in for correction to right eye. That took place on August 18. Thus, the middle picture shows me with stitches the next day. I started again applying the emu oil on Friday night. With emu oil, my upper eyelid will not have any scars, as shown in the other picture. My husband didn't think I needed correction, but I noticed a little extra skin that I wanted removed.

3. Finally, I show you an image of the emu oil.

How soon can I go to work after eyelid surgery. I went back two weeks later, and wore gradient color shades...I also attended a Christmas party on Dec 18, with no trace of anything. My face features looked completely different, but people kept saying I was beautiful, but I clearly felt beautiful but different. 8 months later, I look completely back to 100% normal, no swelling etc.

OK. I hope I'm clear.

Amazing and detailed doctor. Very nice and I will go to him for anything needed. Trusted him with my face. He had to constantly remind me that everything would get back to normal and I am glad I listen. Results are great.
