Very Satisfied with Eyelid and Mid-Face Surgeries
I recently underwent lower eyelid reconstructions and mid-face surgery with Kenneth Steinsapir, M.D., a Beverly Hills, world-renowned oculoplastic surgeon. I cannot say enough positive things about the entire experience. I am extremely satisfied with the results thus far and am impressed with the precision, thoroughness, and passion of Dr. Steinsapir and his team in treating me. They have exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the consultation, surgery and after-care that I have received.
I sought out Dr. Steinsapir after a botched canthoplasty surgery last year by a different surgeon that left me with eyelashes painfully growing into my corneas, numerous granulomas in my eyelids and redundant skin at the outer edges of my eyes which made me look decades older. I had a consultation in which Dr. Steinsapir analyzed the problems with my prior surgery and presented a solution for me to consider. He also identified another issue with my mid-face, which was that my facial implants (from another prior surgery) were poorly positioned in the sub-malar region, making me look older and tired. He recommended lower eyelid reconstruction to address the botched canthoplasty and replacing the old implants with new custom Gore-Tex implants. During surgery, he hand carved the implants to match each side of the face and orbital rim, so that the cheek sits in a more natural position and my eyes close and feel more comfortable. I am extremely happy that I took Dr. Steinsapir’s recommendations because the results, even at this early stage, are phenomenal.
My eyes look and feel healthier and the implants in their new positions make me look years younger. It will take time – several months minimum – to see the full results of this surgery. (Anyone who thinks that they can assess the results of eyelid surgery immediately is not well-informed and does not understand the healing process– recovery takes time!) But an initial look at my eyes and face is already far superior to what I had before the surgery.
Dr. Steinsapir’s team, and Faith Gomberg in particular, are caring, thorough and completely patient-centric. I have been treated by many physicians’ offices but never have I experienced the level of personal service, attention to detail and quality control that Faith exercises. She is a professional’s professional, who is not only supremely competent but also is a genuinely caring individual whose love for her work and the patients she serves is incomparable. I can only aspire to be as good as Faith is in my own work – she sets the bar that high.
If you are contemplating oculoplastic surgery or mid-face surgery, I strongly recommend that you consult with Dr. Steinsapir. This is especially true if you have already had a surgery that was performed by someone who does not understand eyelid surgery, its anatomy, and did not achieve a positive outcome as you were promised, which is unfortunately most plastic surgeons. I do not think that there is anyone better than Dr. Steinsapir at oculoplastic and mid-face surgery nor has anyone assembled a team of medical and patient care professionals that are as good as Dr. Steinsapir’s team. I will be posting photos as my recovery progresses so you may see the results and realize that this review is based on results and not emotions or feelings. I have been through several poorly executed plastic surgeries and if you have as well you know how disappointing and devastating that can be. I am confident that your experience with Dr. Steinsapir will leave you more than satisfied with the process and the results will be the best possible.
