Thrilled with the results - I am not tired looking anymore
When I looked in the mirror as a 74 year old woman, I saw the aging. Everyone else looked at me and said “ you look so tired”. I wasn’t tired as much as my eyes were hollow, developed fat pads and had sagging skin. I guess my eyes bothered me the most. I had previously seen two ocular surgeons, before I met Dr. Singh. Both had said they could not help me. They said, they were concerned about the lack of elasticity and that I might develop a pull of the lower lid. I was very disheartened and stopped pursuing the idea of having lower eye Blepharoplasty. However, I continued to think about it and did lots of trolling of plastic surgeons on the internet. My first consult with Doctor Singh was a virtual. I immediately felt a connection. He is so approachable. He listens as well as explains everything to you. He lifted my spirits when he said he could do the lower eye Blepharoplasty. He was honest and forthright. He could remove the fat pads but may not be able to do a skin pinch to remove sagging skin but a fat transfer below the eyes would improve the hollow appearance and help with the genetic dark rings I have.The other surgeons just blew me off, took their consultation fee and sent me on my way. One surgeon, who was referred as a guru of eye surgeons actually took a credit card deposit to book the consultation. Having plastic surgery, that is elective because you just want to look as good as you feel is a very personal experience. I am so thankful that I took this journey with Dr. Singh.
The procedure itself was performed locally which I preferred. It was pain free and lasted about 90 minutes. Prior to the procedure doctor Singh said, if he thinks he can do a skin pinch, he will try. I agreed to let him try. I trusted him and the process. That is his MANTRA-“Trust the process”. What I trusted was the expertise and skill he demonstrates. We did the fat transfer later after I healed , it was my choice to wait. I am so thrilled with the results. I am not tired looking anymore, even when Im tired. My eyes are open and bright. The dark rings (which no cream can ever remove) are easily concealed with some make up when I choose to wear it.Dr. Singh was with me ever step of the way. He never turned my care over to a PA or nurse. He called, checked in with me and FaceTimed me before my visit to remove the very few stitches I had. The results were so positive, that I booked a deep plane facelift with him. I had that procedure 2 months ago. Tomorrow, I turn 75 and Im thrilled. I cannot thank Dr. Singh enough for giving me back my “happy”.
