Heavy eyelids run in Jeannie\u2019s family, so when she realized they were impacting her everyday life, she had plenty of places to turn. \u201cMy mother and my sister both had blepharoplasties done,\u201d she says, and several of her friends had also undergone the procedure. She scheduled a visit with Dr. Scott after people she knew sang his praises.<\/p>\n

Thanks to her relative familiarity with the procedure, Jeannie reports not feeling nervous before undergoing surgery. \u201cIt was impairing my peripheral vision, and I knew I needed it done,\u201d she says matter of factly. Jeannie underwent an upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty on both eyes and received CO2 laser treatment to remove signs of aging. \u201cNot that I have wrinkles at age 72,\u201d she says with a wink.<\/p>\n

Jeannie reports the recovery period as \u201cintense,\u201d but she believes it was more the result of the laser than the blepharoplasty. \u201cDr. Scott did a blepharoplasty on a friend of mine the other week. I saw him on the second day, and he looked fabulous,\u201d she notes. As for her, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t terrible, but I did have to ice the area all the time.\u201d Her biggest stressor was her caretaker. \u201cI had to fire my husband from nursing duties after a few days of him taking care of me,\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n

Once the swelling subsided, Jeannie became excited about the results. \u201cIt looks 100% better,\u201d she says. Her peripheral vision has also improved dramatically. \u201cNow I can see without lifting my eyebrow,\u201d she jokes.<\/p>\n

Jeannie has been married for 44 years. Her children are now grown, and she lives with her husband and a Great Dane. In her spare time, she tries to exercise as much as possible. \u201cThat\u2019s why I needed to see!\u201d she says. In particular, she loves to hike with her friends across the country and throughout Europe. Her goal is to go hiking in every U.S. national park, and she\u2019ll soon be hitting all five in Utah. \u201cI know I won\u2019t be able to do this forever, so I\u2019m crossing items off my bucket list while I can,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Jeannie remains grateful for how her surgery has improved her appearance and kept her out on the trails. \u201cDawn is fantastic, and Dr. Scott is a fabulous doctor,\u201d she says. \u201cHe\u2019s very specialized because he just does eyes, which was huge to me. The office was wonderful, and I would recommend it in a second.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
