Brian Vassar Heil, MD
As many others approaching their 50-60s, I was unhappy w my hooded eyes. I no longer saw my upper eyelid while putting on make up. I looked tired and angry all the time. When I smiled, my eyes were reduced to small slits.
I decided in 2019 to have a consultation at Premiere. The office is beautiful and serene, very relaxing and reassuring that this was a top notch practice. The staff was attentive and kind, as if they could feel my apprehention. Dr Heil listened to my every word, answered my questions, and explained the process in detail- prior to the procedure and through recovery.
I was given an estimate and said I would "think about it."
Well, I just couldn't do it. What would others think of me? How could I function while healing? What "if" something went wrong, etc
Fast forward to May 2025- I made another consultation appointment and met w Dr Heil again- this time I was ready! Again, he explained in detail what to expect before, during, and after. We scheduled for December because that was a slow time for me at work and it would be easier for me to stay home during the healing process.
Yes I was scared, but I did it, and could not be happier! The photos are taken day 38 after surgery, and it keeps getting better! In addition to removing the appearance of hooded eyes, I can literally see SO much better! The world is brighter and bigger. I didnt know how severely my vision was being affected.
It took me several years to get the courage to have the blepharoplasty, (I had upper and lower), but I am very happy I chose Dr Heil @ Premiere, the care I received was beyond all expectations. I highly recommend them!
