TOTALLY THRILLED! I desperately needed my ability to see. An Ophthalmologist "can" do the surgery and insurance will cover the expense to correct your vision, however one huge drawback, they can take out too much skin and your not able to close your eye lids completely, this happened to my mother. I sought a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to correct my ability to see "out" and also all the lines in my forehead as well as remove the muscle between your eyes to prevent deep frown lines with were already present. While at it, go ahead and have the inner part of my lower lid pocket of fat removed. NEVER EVER go to a PS that charges for a consult nor wants to do everything at once, you will be sorry. Take the time to do it right. *****the fee was 18 years ago, not the fee for 2016*****

Hi, was this done 17 years ago? Can I ask about the muscle between your eyes being removed? Did this not result in any bruising? I can't see anything significant in your photos, so did that happen with your surgery in the end? If it did, did you have any strange nerve feelings afterwards? Sorry for all the questions, it's an area Of interest for me! Your surgery opened up your eyes beautifully.

Yes, 17 years ago and I just had lower face lift and neck lift by Dr. Villar. When he did my forehead lift he removed the "frown muscle" at that time and no, there was no bruising. I didn't have a good photo of my forehead - but trust me, there were deep wrinkles for 47 and over my eyebrows. No, you don't have sensation where he cut, but it comes back and never was a problem or point of interest. If you are thinking of doing it, go for a consult with him, he IS the best. I would not want to do all at once as the forehead lift itself brought up my eyes and then taking the extra skin from eye lid crease was wonderful!
Your eyes look big, bright, and beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing on RealSelf.
