Two weeks ago I had a face lift and and blepharoplasty (eyes). Today you would be hard pressed to see anything that might indicate that I had a face lift or work on my eye lids (upper and lower), except that I look better. There is little to no bruising at this point. The swelling in nominal, so nominal that unless you were me, you wouldn't see it. I don't even see it, I just feel it a smidgen. So far the results are awesome! I have had a few procedures before this one. Never have I healed so quickly before from any of them! It is all about how the doctor handles the procedure and all I can say, is that in the past I had Drs. who were absolute brutes! I bruised beyond belief and swelled like nothing you've ever seen, so obviously, Dr.Berlet knows what he is doing and he is a very gentle man who knows how to do procedures done correctly. In less than two weeks after my procedure, I was able to attend meetings and be out in public, something I never thought possible before based on my previous experiences. In addition, he is just the nicest guy in the world! The first time I met him, I knew, he was the one. He took the time to explain to me everything I was considering having done in extreme detail so there were no questions. While the procedure was in process, his staff was there actually massaging my legs and arms, and holding my hand reassuringly. The Dr. and his entire staff are all such caring people which is something sorely lacking in many doctors offices. I am extremely happy with my face lift and blepharoplasty. I highly recommend Dr .Berlet! You cannot go wrong with Dr. Berlet!!
