A Painless Transformation Jane’s Journey With Dr. Scott

Jane suffered from drooping upper eyelids for years but confessed, “I didn’t even know there were eyelid specialists.” When she developed a cyst on her lower eyelid, her doctor referred her to Eye Plastic Associates. “As soon as I went to Dr. Scott’s website, I knew I’d ask him about my [upper] eyelids,” she remembers.

She was immediately impressed by how quickly Dr. Scott resolved her cyst and noted his professionalism and willingness to answer questions. “I felt confident about him,” she said. Dr. Scott explained that Jane would need a blepharoplasty on her upper eyelids to remove the loose skin and restore her superior vision. He performed this outpatient procedure in March 2023.

“I never had any pain,” Jane says of her recovery. In her view, the most inconvenient part of the surgery was icing her eyes for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off for two days. “Everyone should have a daughter like mine,” she says. “She came over with tons of food and kept running to put the frozen peas back in the refrigerator and get them out for me.” After having her stitches out, Jane and her husband had a celebratory lunch.

As for her vision, Jane notes that she didn’t notice too much of a problem before the surgery. “Only when it goes away do you say, ‘Oh my goodness, it’s so much better now!’” she explains. Though she had the surgery for medical reasons, she also calls the cosmetic result “excellent.” “Some people say they don’t notice the difference,” she says, “but when I show them a picture of how I was before, they say ‘Wow.’”

Jane strongly recommends Dr. Scott and is eager to tell her story. “I told Dr. Scott and Dawn that if anyone were hesitant about surgery, I’d be happy to talk to them one-on-one.”

At 84, she worries that people her age might be reluctant to undergo surgery. “It’s probably younger people who usually do it,” she says. But she is pleased with her choice to resolve the problem after all these years. “It was literally painless,” she reiterates. “I would certainly recommend Dr. Scott because it was a great experience.”
