Selma works behind a desk for 8\u201310 hours a day, where she eventually began noticing an impact on her eyes. \u201cAt the end of the day, my eyes would feel very heavy, and they\u2019d burn,\u201d she remembers. Believing her eyeglass prescription needed updating, she visited her optometrist. He explained that her eyesight was normal, but her eyelids were likely causing her problems.<\/p>\n

After doing some research, Selma found Dr. Scott online. During her first visit, he performed a field of vision test and an exam before concluding that excess skin was causing her eyelids to droop and block her peripheral vision. He recommended a blepharoplasty on both upper eyelids to alleviate her problems.<\/p>\n

Selma trusted her relationship with Dr. Scott right away. \u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to find a doctor who genuinely cares about patients and their concerns,\u201d she says. \u201cBut he had the kindest staff I have ever experienced; they make you feel welcome from the time you walk in the door. I felt really comfortable doing the surgery with him because he was very thorough in explaining everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

After she had her sutures removed, Selma remembers being ecstatic. \u201cI constantly felt tired before because my eyes were so heavy, and it wasn\u2019t a good quality of life,\u201d she says. As a bonus, she says, \u201cThe whole procedure made me look younger!\u201d Selma notes that Dr. Scott refers to this effect as looking \u201cmore awake.\u201d She agrees that she now appears and feels more alert than before the surgery.<\/p>\n

Selma is a government information specialist, and the surgery has positively impacted her job. She must maintain her attention during extended hours of detailed work, which she can now do better after her blepharoplasty. Outside of work, Selma considers exercising her hobby. \u201cWeightlifting is my primary focus,\u201d she says. She also enjoys spending time with her fianc\u00e9 and cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for her views on Dr. Scott, Selma calls him \u201cthe best doctor across the board.\u201d In particular, \u201cI appreciated his expertise and the amount of effort he took to show that he actually cares about what he does,\u201d she says. \u201cThat was the biggest reason I chose him, and I\u2019m so glad I did because I don\u2019t think I would have been comfortable with anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
