Sandra hasn\u2019t always had the best experience with plastic surgeons. After developing Bell\u2019s palsy in 2008, her face became partially paralyzed. When the nerves grew back, they were crossed between her eye and mouth. \u201cWhen I opened my mouth, my eye would close,\u201d she remembers. \u201cCute, right?\u201d A friend recommended a plastic surgeon in Philadelphia who had helped with her eye twitching\/closure using Botox. <\/p>\n

But that doctor was using unethical billing practices, making Sandra pay for her procedure in cash and charging the insurance company as well. \u201cOf course, he didn\u2019t give me my money back,\u201d she says. He claimed the extra expense was for \u201csuperior\u201d Botox, but Sandra eventually learned that was a lie. \u201cDr. Scott said there\u2019s only one grade of Botox,\u201d she says. Sandra was disillusioned, but the Botox did help her spasming. So, she decided to give it another try when her pastor underwent tear duct surgery and recommended Dr. Scott. She has now been receiving Botox treatments every three months for several years. \u201cWhen your face is paralyzed, there\u2019s no 100% cure,\u201d Sandra explains, \u201cbut it at least helps me keep my eye open so I can drive and do other things.\u201d <\/p>\n

Her path hasn\u2019t been easy, but Sandra maintains a positive attitude. Her Bell\u2019s palsy also closed her tear duct, and two surgeries to reopen it were unfortunately unsuccessful. Her Botox also migrated once, resulting in a temporary droopy eyelid. It\u2019s a rare but known side effect. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t his fault, but Dr. Scott couldn\u2019t have been nicer about it,\u201d Sandra says. \u201cHe saw me right away, and he was very apologetic and just really human.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandra grew up in Northern Virginia, and she considers herself a \u201clocal girl.\u201d Though she is now retired, she used to work for an airline and lived all over the country. But since there\u2019s no place like home, she eventually returned. Sandra attends church, prayer group, and Bible study in her spare time. She also enjoys making homemade greeting cards, a hobby she picked up in the \u201880s after a coworker presented her with a gift in handmade wrapping paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Since hers is a lifelong condition, Sandra intends to continue to see Dr. Scott for as long as possible. \u201cHe\u2019s patient, very caring, and very friendly. He always takes his time with you,\u201d she says. \u201cI have recommended Dr. Scott to other people and will continue to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
