Wish I Had Done It Sooner! Lower Bleph & Chin Impant

WORTH IT
I had the best experience with Dr. Kulbersh, Katherine and the whole team at Carolina Facial Plastics. I felt like I’ve tried all the products under the sun for my under eye bags but nothing ever worked. I had also always felt self conscious of my weak chin in pictures but filler just wasn’t giving me the results I wanted. I decided to make an appointment for a consult with Dr. Kulbersh to see if I’d be a good candidate for chin implant and lower blepharoplasty. Dr. K listened to my concerns and I’m so glad I trusted him completely because I couldn’t have been more pleased with the results. As someone who doesn’t wear a ton of makeup, I wanted to still look myself but more refreshed/rested and natural. The procedure was very straightforward and recovery was way better than anticipated. The entire team immediately made me feel so comfortable and by the end of my journey I felt like part of the family.
Recovery was kind of like a mini vacation (I spent 2 days kid free at my mom’s house). The pain was minimal, just a little tight/itchy from the bandages but way easier than I had prepared myself for. Swelling and bruising was also much less expected and they even treated the bruises at my 1 week post-op visit, which cleared them up in a few days time. Even the chin implant, which I expected to be sore, felt completely natural from the start. I have never “felt” the implant at all & any numbness was gone after about 2 weeks. In total, I took 3 days off work and was back to working from home after a long (5 day) weekend & back on camera for meetings and picking up kids from school after a week.
The best part is that I immediately felt like my face structure was more balanced and my eyes/cheekbones are so much more prominent now. I even find myself mouth breathing much less and nose breathing instead, since my mouth can close more easily. My only complaint is that I didn’t save my money on filler & endless under eye products, and instead put it towards booking the procedure sooner.
