When I saw Dr. Lee 4 years ago for my Lifestyle Lift procedure, he was reluctant to perform an eyelid surgery, since I am congenitally blind in one eye. I appreciated his conservative approach and his concern for protecting my vision.

My facelift experience was fantastic! I returned to him this year for another consult, since my droopier eyelids were now almost resting on my eyelashes. I was thrilled when he said he had experienced no vision issues over the past 4 years, and he felt it would be safe to do my eyelids.

Now when I look in the mirror I see an energetic, wide-awake guy, instead of a tired old geezer. And my vision in my good eye has improved for both day and night vision, with better range of vision and more light getting into my eye.

The photos were taken one month post-op. Results are even better now!

So...you waited patiently (no pun intended) for your doc to "learn" by doing on other people? Good move! Your eyes look great. Wondering what the others who were experimented on before you look like....

I think you misunderstood. His hesitation was about any chance of an unforeseen vision complication on a patient who only sees in one eye, not the cosmetic results. I totally appreciated that he was unwilling to take any chances with my vision. The others were not experimented on. At the same time 4 years ago my wife had him do the eyelid surgery with perfect results. The surgical data over the next 4 years simply supported that no unforeseen visual complications resulted from the eyelid procedure.

I was kidding, really I was! Your eyes look very very good. But IMO male eye lift surgery seems to always turn out rather good. The aesthetics I find desirable in eye lifts are that the margin of lid showing be even from inner to outer corner. Many PS working on women tend to make the lid-show wider in the middle and while some may find that attractive , I much prefer the look I see in men's results.
So.....I would take your results over most I have seen! And someone once speculated that perhaps male result are so good b/c they tend to be stand-alone procedures whereas females often add them to lengthy complicated surgeries like facelifts, brow lifts. Maybe the surgeons do better when they aren't "pressed for time" (now don't take that too literally Larry) and can concentrate on only one goal per session. Thanks for posting your Review.
