I cannot recommend Dr. Jeffrey Joseph highly enough…read more
I first came to Dr. Joseph a few years ago because I was unhappy with the appearance of my under-eye area. Before finding him, I had been told by other providers that filler was the answer for the unevenness under my eyes. Unfortunately, it only made things worse. After consulting with Dr. Joseph, I finally understood that what I actually needed was a lower blepharoplasty--not filler. That surgery completely refreshed my appearance while still looking incredibly natural. Friends would tell me I looked well-rested, and I honestly felt like I looked 10 years younger.
As I approached 43, I noticed my upper eyelids had begun resting on my lash line. My eyes constantly looked tired, and my makeup routine had gone from about 7 minutes to nearly 30 because I was trying so hard to make my eyes look more open and awake. I knew it was time to go back to Dr. Joseph for an upper blepharoplasty.
Just like my first experience, everything was exceptional. His office is one of the most organized and caring medical practices I've ever worked with. The communication before, during, and after surgery was incredibly thorough, and they made me feel supported every step of the way. They even surprised me by sending a beautiful bouquet of flowers to my home after surgery--a thoughtful gesture that perfectly reflects the kind of practice they run.
The surgery itself was far easier than I had imagined. I was much more nervous than I needed to be. I never even needed Tylenol afterward, and my recovery was remarkably quick. By day eight, I looked almost completely normal. I'm now seven weeks post-op, and people constantly ask me if I've done something different because I look younger. I always happily tell them about Dr. Joseph.
One thing I've realized is how many women in their 40s don't even know what blepharoplasty can do. The funny thing about your 40s is that you still feel like you're in your early 30s, but sometimes the mirror doesn't reflect how youthful you actually feel. I work hard to take care of myself through diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, and Dr. Joseph's work helped my outside finally match how I feel inside. I don't look "done"--I simply look like the best version of myself.
Beyond his incredible surgical skill, Dr. Joseph has one of the best bedside manners of any physician I've ever met. He immediately puts you at ease and has such a warm, approachable, caring personality that it feels like you've known him for years.
While many plastic surgeons perform eyelid surgery, Dr. Joseph has dedicated his career exclusively to oculoplastic surgery. That level of specialization matters. The eyes are the focal point of your face, and achieving a natural result requires tremendous expertise. I've personally seen blepharoplasty results from surgeons who don't specialize in eyelids, and the difference is obvious. Dr. Joseph's results are elegant, balanced, and beautifully natural.
Finally, I have to recognize his incredible staff. From the front desk girls, to Jennie (his right-hand gal), to his wonderful surgery coordinator, every single person is kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your experience a positive one.
If you're considering eyelid surgery, I truly cannot recommend Dr. Jeffrey Joseph and his team enough. It was one of the best investments I've ever made in myself, and I would choose him again without hesitation.
