How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Vertical Lines under 1 Eye Only
I now have vertical lines under one the eye. They are rather noticeable in sunlight, and my Dr. assured me they will subside. I hope they do go away (not sure what caused them to start with) but all in all, my eyes look very good. If the lines don't go away I'm not sure what the fix is. Maybe a quick pass of the laser for revision or something else? Still super happy with the results tho.
Getting real good compliments of Dr. Cohen
So far, so good! I'm using Jane Iredel make up to cover the red. It's a great mineral make up.
If you read my previous posts, I had some filler...
If you read my previous posts, I had some filler placed under my eyes to diminish tear trough deformities. The result 6 days after my filler was HORRIBLE malar bags that basically ruined my face. I never had the bags before, I had hollows. PLUS, he over-injected Botox and cause my entire left side of my face to droop so I looked like I had a stroke for 3 months.
Now, a year plus later I was letting the filler dissolve naturally, mainly because the injector did such a poor job the first time, I was terrified for him to dissolve it.
I had C02 laser only to tighten and firm the skin first. I went with the least invasive option.
Day 1- NO pain. The bandages pulled my lower lids down a bit, but truly, the lasered area felt like a minor sunburn.
Day 2- Just tired. And today there was no pain whatsoever. The eyes were dry and scratchy, but that's because the dressings were pulling them down. Honestly, the worst part of all of this was 1. Sleeping upright for 4 days and 2. The bandages pulling my lower lids down.
Day 5- Bandages removed and the skin is red and a little crusty. Now I start applying Crisco. The bandage removal was tough as I think she pulled the new skin a bit too hard and it may have prematurely removed some scabs (she should have soaked them off more) but afterwards I was fine.
Day 7- Follow up at Drs office- The Dr on staff removed some crusting with a q-tip. Still red, and I expect I will be for 3 months or so?
Day 13- Skin is sloughing off, but all in all, the wrinkles that plagued me are almost completely gone at this stage. The skin is red, peeling and much tighter. It's not too much for me to hope the malar bags have been addressed with this. I feel they have been and I will continue to think positively about it.
They say at 2 weeks I can start using make up but honestly, I'm going to wait. The skin is still healing (and I heal real quick anyway) so I will re-asses the situation in another week. I'm in no rush at this point. The healing has been easy. Other than extreme fatigue from the meds (anti-virals and antibiotics) sleeping upright and the bandages, this has been a breeze.
There are some obvious areas where the laser hit along the edges (lines of demarcation, esp my left eye) with visible raggy looking "holes" from the laser. Hopefully they will resolve with time. I will go for another follow up soon and post more healing pics.
the staff and Dr. have been amazing throughout it all, though, and I feel this may have been the fix I was looking for. Less may have actually been more in this situation. We will see!
