When we caught up with Dr. Scott\u2019s patient, Marla, about 12 weeks had passed since her surgery, and she\u2019d just returned from a cruise. Before visiting Eye Plastic Associates, she had been experiencing problems with her peripheral vision due to droopy upper eyelids. Now, she\u2019s seeing better than ever and enjoying life.<\/p>\n

Marla visited Dr. Scott for an upper lid blepharoplasty at the recommendation of her retina specialist. During her consultation, she had concerns about her lower eyelids as well, and Dr. Scott recommended a lower lid blepharoplasty and fractional laser skin resurfacing to reduce signs of aging.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my girlfriends had her upper lids done years ago,\u201d Marla says. \u201cShe told me, \u2018The first week isn\u2019t fun, the second week is better, and on the third week, you change your Facebook picture!\u2019\u201d Due to preexisting eye conditions and adding on the lower eyelid surgery, Marla\u2019s recovery has been a little slower. She is still experiencing a small amount of numbness in her right upper eyelid, \u201cbut I can feel it getting better every day,\u201d she says. And she is definitely enjoying the benefits of her surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople can\u2019t sneak up on my right side anymore,\u201d Marla notes, \u201cand I\u2019m seeing a lot better.\u201d The cosmetic effects have also been welcome. \u201cEvery one of my girlfriends has told me it looks so good,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd while I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s actually true, I feel like my eyelashes have gotten longer!\u201d<\/p>\n

Marla retired from her job as a federal officer about five years ago, but before that, she also had careers in law, telecommunications, and food. Today, she runs her own cheesecake business. \u201cDr. Scott\u2019s office has ordered from me, which is nice,\u201d she says. She also has two adult children and \u201can amazing daughter-in-law.\u201d She enjoys spending time with all of them and raising her two puppies.<\/p>\n

When asked about her experience with Eye Plastic Associates, Marla says, \u201cDr. Scott is probably one of the nicest people I\u2019ve ever met. He brings everything down to your level and doesn\u2019t talk above your head.\u201d She also has high praise for office manager Dawn, who she calls \u201cphenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cThe office staff was all great,\u201d she says. \u201cNo question was dumb \u2014 they are happy to do whatever it takes to make you feel better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
