I also used dr kim but im not happy with outcome. Had upper and lower. Surgery was scheduled for mid afternoon but didnt start till 5 and finished at 7. I think it was rushed at end. One year later, i have small “bumps” where stitches were under the skin. The results were not as dramatic as i expected. She offered to “redo” at no charge from her, but would still need to,pay everyone else. Medicare would not pay a second time. Use a real plastic surgeon.

As always very much appreciate your help

Never knew eyelids drooping caused vision problems and didn’t know there was a simple surgical solution. Thank you for this post. It Is useful information for the future.

If she is doing this for cosmetic reasons I highly recommend Dr. Danny Soares. He was recommended to me by my doctor.

VIP Villages Institute of Plastic Surgery

Dr. Danny 370-259-8599

If it's because she can't see, he will recommend a doctor in Ocala.

My wife and I both had this done successfully. Would do it again. We went to lake eye.

Had mine done by Dr Shelby Terpesta it was a good outcome. They were done at age 55 and again at age 75.

I had Dr Shelly Terpstra with Lake Eye. Was very satisfied. Did a great job.

Hello

Just had blepharoplasty on both eyes - upper only. I was scared - Don't be. I was awake but relaxed for only part of the procedure (20 minutes.) Totally painless. i am 2 days out - no pain but the itching of healing is intense. A lot of icing and just doing nothing. I seem to be healing well. Had mine done at Cleveland Clinic, so no help to you in florida.

As the doctor explained to me, the lids have to interfere with your vision before they will do it. VERY simple and painless process that took about 20-30 mins. No discoloring of the eyes, very simple procedure. In my case the VA did it.

Had to be tested to see if necessary. If medically necessary Medicare will pay. Had both eyes done Successfully by Dr.Terpstra at Lake Eye. It is one of her specialties

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.

Thank you again as we 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 .
