- - BLEPHARPLASTY for my wife (https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/medical-health-discussion-94/blepharplasty-my-wife-312000/)

I had it done about 2 years ago at Orlando Eye Institute. My doctor was Keshini Parbhu, an oculoplastic surgeon and very good. I did not have any complications, although I could scare most little kids with my black and blue eyes for about 10 days. I spent the first two nights sleeping in a reclining chair and took 2 pain pills in the first 24 hours.

Just a note of Thanks for the MANY interesting opinions and referrals as once again we have found out THRU YOU some interesting facts and opinions on who to go to as well as how to (hopefully) get it covered thru Insurance

Thank you again as we appreciate your help.

I am a firm believer in "recommendations" vs "advertisement and have gone to "Talk of The Villages" many times for referrals and or opinions and greatly appreciate any and all advice.

Was wondering if anyone has had this done and who you might recommend.

As always very much appreciate your help

I had mine done by Dr Zeine at Eyes of the Villages. The office is between ACE hardware and Winn Dixie. I was very pleased. I use Dr Zeine for all my opthamolic care.

Search on the web here’s the site
Access Denied in the headline you can click on doctors and you can go from there. Ask the best questions when you contact the doctors . Ask them how many surgery he/she have done in 1 day or a week. Don’t hesitate to ask.
When my husband has his colon surgery we search the web and were lucky also we saw ads on tv about Cleveland Clinic for opinions because it is a life and death situation if we go by the hospital and doctor in the state which has a low rating when it comes to the best doctor and hospitals . If you can’t find anything try calling the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland Ohio. They have also in Miami Florida. Hope you find one .

This is an honest question about how you looked after the surgery. I am very seriously contemplating having it. However, I’m so afraid of looking scary. I never really had an eyelid showing, always had a hooded eye. Of course now drooping a lot more. I’m afraid it might look fake as scary. Any thoughts from those who had it done.

This is a great surgery to have. Fairly common, not very painful and really improves your looks. I had this surgery about ten years ago in Virginia and am so glad I did. Some bruising and only took over the counter pain meds for a couple of days. I can see so much better and removing all that excess skin has made a real improvement in my appearance. Droopy eyelids run in our family. My mother had this operation in her 70s and wished she’d had it done earlier. My insurance paid for my operation because the degree of droop was so pronounced. Medicare paid for my mother’s operation for the same reason. I say go for it. Just be sure you get a good doctor with a great track record.
