Philosophy
Small changes around the eyes are highly visible, and mistakes there are difficult to undo. My approach is conservative first. I recommend surgery only when it is the right solution, and I say so plainly when it is not. The aim is a result that looks like you, rested and refreshed, rather than a dramatic change.
In a consultation I want to understand what bothers you, what you have already tried, and what you are hoping for, and then tell you honestly what is realistic. Some patients I see once and never need to see again. Others I follow for years. Either way, you should leave with enough information to decide for yourself.
