Jane suffered from drooping upper eyelids for years but confessed, \u201cI didn\u2019t even know there were eyelid specialists.\u201d When she developed a cyst on her lower eyelid, her doctor referred her to Eye Plastic Associates. \u201cAs soon as I went to Dr. Scott\u2019s website, I knew I\u2019d ask him about my [upper] eyelids,\u201d she remembers.<\/p>\n
She was immediately impressed by how quickly Dr. Scott resolved her cyst and noted his professionalism and willingness to answer questions. \u201cI felt confident about him,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never had any pain,\u201d 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. \u201cEveryone should have a daughter like mine,\u201d she says. \u201cShe came over with tons of food and kept running to put the frozen peas back in the refrigerator and get them out for me.\u201d After having her stitches out, Jane and her husband had a celebratory lunch.<\/p>\n
As for her vision, Jane notes that she didn\u2019t notice too much of a problem before the surgery. \u201cOnly when it goes away do you say, \u2018Oh my goodness, it\u2019s so much better now!\u2019\u201d she explains. Though she had the surgery for medical reasons, she also calls the cosmetic result \u201cexcellent.\u201d \u201cSome people say they don\u2019t notice the difference,\u201d she says, \u201cbut when I show them a picture of how I was before, they say \u2018Wow.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Jane strongly recommends Dr. Scott and is eager to tell her story. \u201cI told Dr. Scott and Dawn that if anyone were hesitant about surgery, I\u2019d be happy to talk to them one-on-one.\u201d<\/p>\n
At 84, she worries that people her age might be reluctant to undergo surgery. \u201cIt\u2019s probably younger people who usually do it,\u201d she says. But she is pleased with her choice to resolve the problem after all these years. \u201cIt was literally painless,\u201d she reiterates. \u201cI would certainly recommend Dr. Scott because it was a great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
