I had a consultation with Dr Benjamin Chu because I was concerned with the droopiness I had with my upper eyelids due to aging. I figured just fixing my upper eyelids would correct the problem but Dr. Chu recommended to do what is called a brow lift instead. Dr. Chu explained everything in great detail and thoroughly. I decided to proceed with the surgery and had it done last friday. It's been five days since the surgery and I'm still in the process of healing with very minimal bruising and swelling. There was some pain the first couple days but very tolerable. Although it's only been 5 days, there's a noticeable difference. Just from doing the brow lift, it helped correct the issue with the droopiness and my forehead looks smoother. I'm glad I went with Dr. Chu's recommendation with doing a brow lift because my initial results look more natural and subtle without having to touch my eyes.

I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Benjamin Chu.

Wow! Your forehead is so smith and the lift really opened your eyes. What kind of brow lift did you have? Endoscopic?

Wow.... No kidding. It was not endoscopic. I had a hairline incision. Best part is I don't look angry anymore. :-) Looks great and I feel renewed. the incision has been healing really well. I have to be really careful and not to exert myself in any way. My goal is to keep the bruising down to a minimum. I will post up a video in the next few days with before and afters. Thanks, Farid

WOW, you look awesome! How is the journey in healing? I did not know that the brow lift could have helped open up the eyes. It's wonderful. Please post some pictures in about a months' time. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Flying back to California Monday. Will go back to work Tuesday December 9. Feel fine no swelling. I will have to walk instead of run up and down the stairs at work. I'm wondering if anyone at work will notice. They'll probably think I lost weight :-).

Now, you don't look anything near to 56 years. WOW, you look awesome - very young. Although I'd like to improve my brow and I'm reluctant to go through with it, as everyone experience is different. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I look and feel younger. This was my first surgery. I prepared myself by taking vitamins and having enough time off to recuperate. I had no idea how it all would end up. You're right everyone's experience is different. After seeing the results I would not hesitate to go back to Dr. Benjamin Chu for additional procedures.
