WORTH IT
I recently had an upper eyelid bleph performed by Dr. Mark Taylor. The results exceeded my expectations, and I am so pleased. It looks so natural and I have had several people, who knew I was having this done, compliment me each time I see them. They are blown away by the results as well. I feel I look younger and refreshed. I can put mascara on now without it smudging on my eyelids, and you can see my lashes! I have had lots of people compliment me on my lashes. They could not see them before because my eyelids rested on top of them.
Each time I see my eyes in the mirror, I am really blown away at how great they look.

Dr. Taylor was so kind and he and his staff made me comfortable right from the beginning.
During the procedure, Dr. Taylor explained everything they were doing and again, put me right at ease. I trusted him right from the start. I also appreciated him letting me talk his ear off while I was a little out of it. :) I tend to do that on local anesthetics. Thanks for letting me chat and ask the same questions over and over Dr. Taylor. :)

The procedure is so slick, and the recovery was very simple. Dr. Taylor has this down to a tee, and he had me set up with everything I needed for recovery.

I would recommend this procedure to anyone who thinks they need it. And I would recommend Gateway Aesthetic Institute and Laser Center to anyone and everyone.
I have met with several people there and I have been impressed with each one.
Love the front desk ladies - always so kind and knowledgable about things.
Dr. Fischer met with me about a procedure and I felt so confident in her expertise, and again made me feel so comfortable.
Kelsey, Sharene and Kay are wonderful and I love seeing them when I go in.
Elise Wilcox helps me with skincare and I just love her, and her assistant Brynn! They have helped me so much.
Paige dyes and shapes my eyebrows and she does a fantastic job. I have also heard she does great facials and will be looking forward to that in the near future.
And Marcie in the store is fabulous! She always has a big smile on her face and knows all the products in there. She even shows you how to apply them. Love her.

So grateful to have found them!

Thank you so much for sharing your story! Congratulations on a positive outcome. How long was your downtime?

You bet Sheila! It was 2 days down in a reclined position with ice on my eyes. I just listened to books on tape and relaxed. Had no pain with it, had you can take the ice off to use the bathroom and eat. Then I just took it easy for a few more days- no heavy lifting or bending over for about a week or so. Again no pain. I did not take the pain meds they gave me, just a couple of Tylenol here and there.

That's pretty awesome! Did you have any bruising or swelling?
