I am about to retire as a nurse of 40 years and my eyes were getting impossible to hide the bags, the puffiness, the saggy skin. I kept putting it off for fear of eye damage, anything that could go wrong! I met Cristina, the reception/billing support person there and she calmed my fears. Then I met Dr. Edelson and liked him right away. The rest I can show you in photos but I am only a week post op, so still bruised. But honestly, I look awesome . Believe me, he's the one to trust. Its your face, the only one, so why not go with the best?!

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

I am 60 and also live in San Diego. I would like to see your photos if possible. I need my my eyes done as well as a facelift. Thank you, happy to hear you are healing well and Dr. Edelson worked well for you!

Dr. Edelson, thank you for your reply. I am just starting the interview process and have been researching for a few months. I do have some pics that I posted a few months ago (not very flattering) however my concern is with my left eye which is prosthetic. I have a little ptosis in the upper lid as well as some hollowing. I'm not sure if I should see an Oculoplastic surgeon for my eyes. I will call your office for a consultation. Thanks again!

If you live in San Diego, by all means, come on in for a complimentary consultation. I can give you much better information in person than over the Internet. I look forward to meeting you.
