Some pain after removal & a couple of stitches of a sm Chalazion on eyelid. All appears to have gone well
April 17, 2023Monica B.Verified patient
Dr. Schlessinger had a very down to earth bedside manner. He took the time to answer my questions. He’s not just a dr. He is a Oculoplastic surgeon. I did my research and he had amazing reviews. He is well educated. It was my first time getting fillers under my eyes. I was scared so many people do it but it’s my face and under my eyes! This is not something I wanted any medi spa to do. He’s not just any Dr. he’s a plastic surgeon someone who specialized in and educated on how the anatomy of the face and eye. I did it today with very little swelling I went to work after. no bruising little swelling and I ran around a lot and iced it very little. It was a little tight and slightly sore for a few hours. I put no makeup on and was careful not to touch my face. I am excited to see the results. The best price is not always the best deal. Spend the extra money it’s your face and under your eyes, the BEST price is not always the best deal.
