Taxes101's provider

Dr. Phillip Kierney

First I scheduled a consultation. Dr. Kierney was very attentive and very knowledgeable. He went over all aspects of the procedure- told me what he COULD do and what he COULDN'T do, and showed me in a mirror while describing what he thought would be best for me. He told me I have to schedule an EKG first before any surgery could be scheduled, so, he is safety conscious too. His staff is very friendly too.

Definitely a big before and after difference. You look great. I'm at one month and all bruising is gone. There is a considerable about of numbness and a little swelling. I put eyeliner and mascara on. Hopefully, not a mistake as I'm still healing.
dbm! I am at one month and a few days now, and it STILL burns my eyes to wear any mascara or eyeliner. I decided to stop trying until AFTER I see my DR on the 10th. (3 more days!) Might just be too soon for me- everyone will be different, I'm sure.
wow!! Taxes !! your eyes look absolutely gorgeous!!! The difference between your before and after picture is stunning. hopefully the stinging when wearing make up will subside over time. I'm so happy for you!!
Just saw this! THANK YOU!! I followed your story and it really encouraged me because yours came out sooo great!! I plan to post some photos in the next day or so...I'm about 90 days out now!! The swelling is almost 100% gone, and I have been wearing eye makeup and getting lots of great comments! I'm super happy!!

I think we need another review update, any changes since your last post?  Do you still have any residual swelling?  Let us know :)

I am so happy yours turned out so great. So did mine! I tried to do a post with pics and info and was unable to do so. dumb computers!! If I could post before and afters I would! Sandy
Oh great! So happy for you!! I wish you could post the photos!! BUMMER!

Your surgery was a success! U look very pretty. I can't wait for more update pictures. U really need that surgery to compliment the rest of ur face.(^_^)
Hey Taxes101- it's been a year...how you doing? Would LOVE an update.
After receiving the above progress email, I was able to load my pics of my eyelid surgery. Thank you so much for being supportive to taxes1. I'm happy with my results except I thought the lower lids could have been better. I have some festoons and he said he tried to work on them. However I am happy with results. Sandy
You look fantastic! I also didn't think the lower bleph was that beneficial! I plan to post an update with some pics soon. It's been a year, and my scar is a little tiny bit bumpy still, it might just be the way my skin heals. I'm working with Whitney to get it to flatten out a bit more- she prescribed some stuff to put on it, but, I haven't gone and gotten it yet, so that tells you how serious of a thing it is... not really too serious! My doc has been great, and all the staff here too.

I LOVE it. You are both looking amazing. Taxes101, I'd love to see your post op 1 year...the lids look so good even after a week. What a difference. Has your day to day changed at all?

Photo Taken @ 3 WEEK MARK

First...my deepest apologies!! I meant to post an update a lot sooner than this! To catch everyone up... I am right around a month out now and I am very pleased so far! I am still swollen under eyes, and above my cheek area, and there is still some bruising and slight bags. Some days they seem worse than other days, but, I can tell more healing is taking place each day. I took a photo at the 3 week mark on the 26th of Sept., and got too busy to post it!! I will upload it today. I decided to try makeup that day, and I decided to go with purple eye shadow..it sorta blends in with the scarring! HA... My eyelids are still numb, so it was a bit of a strange sensation- and I guess it's too soon for eyeliner and mascara because within minutes my eyes started burning like crazy! I will wait another week or so and then try again. But, look at the difference with my eyelids from before! I have my follow-up appt with the Dr. on Thursday, the 10th.

8 days post

Day 8!

Nothing new to report, except this is a photo of Day 8 ! I am still swollen and yellow, but, I fully expected it to be this way, and worse! Stitches scars are flattening a bit each day. Eyes are not as itchy anymore, but, I DO feel swelled up throughout my whole face and eyes.

Thank you BevTex! So far I am happy with the progress!
Hey girl! You was a pretty lady before the surgery, but just in this short of time you look great. It makes you look younger. I'm so happy for you. Keep taking care of yourself. Keep the pictures coming.
Thank you agspann, I am really happy with it so far! Looking forward to the swelling going down!
Amazing Taxes101, love your results and it just keeps getting better. You can't even see the scars. They will improve even more too. I bet you are really please you went ahead with it. xxxx
Hey, just checking in on you. How are you feeling? I'm sure there is a difference in just the past couple of days. Hope your feeling better.

I need an update!
