Honestly, I don't get how nose jobs and gallbladder surgeries can even be discussed in the same space, and here I am looking for a doctor, though I'll stop complaining before I get banned again. Basically, all I can tell you is that doing it privately is worth it; those eyelids can sag so badly that keeping your eyes open becomes a struggle, and once it's done, you have peace of mind for a long time. However, relying on Medicare is a huge risk because you just don't know what the outcome will be. If I find out anything else in the meantime, I'll post it here, although I doubt anyone with actual insight into this topic is going to bother visiting this specific sub-forum, so I'll likely have to check other American forums instead.😢

I attempted to start this discussion just two days ago, but it vanished from the forum entirely as if it never existed, so I sincerely hope the moderators won't take offense at my attempting this once more.👋
My mother has tasked me with finding a reputable private clinic for her eyelid surgery—specifically to remove excess skin and those little fat deposits—and I am wondering if anyone here has undergone the procedure or perhaps knows someone who has. It is vital to me that the staff is highly skilled and professional, yet also kind, but most importantly, I need to know what the actual results look like. A few years back, Mom went through a public hospital to have this done via insurance, and frankly, the experience was absolutely horrific, so we aren't even considering that option again. I've looked at the pricing, and it seems pretty much consistent across the board, though I suppose it really just depends on the specific details of the procedure.

And honestly, would you even consider going through with it? I've been looking at prices, and they range from $7,000... $3333 depending on whether they're just treating wrinkles or actually removing fat, and most importantly, it has to be done under local anesthesia because my mother absolutely refuses anything involving general anesthesia

And yes, you can just send me a private message if you want to avoid making this look like an advertisement.🙂

Hello everyone. I have put in quite a bit of effort searching, but since I couldn't find anything remotely similar on this forum, I felt compelled to start my very first thread. 🙂
My mother has tasked me with finding a reputable private clinic in Chicago for eyelid surgery, and I am wondering if anyone here has undergone such a procedure or knows someone who has, and what their experiences were like. Alternatively, perhaps you have had different surgeries performed there; I am interested in the doctors' professionalism, their bedside manner, and, most importantly, the final results. A few years ago, she went to a hospital using her Medicare referral to have excess skin removed from her eyelids, but they did an absolutely terrible job...
