Even in Los Angeles, many men think they have little to gain from plastic surgery. But Pasadena cosmetic surgeon Dr. Wang sees many male patients who are considering a wide variety of procedures, including laser hair removal in Pasadena, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery. Danny, a recent patient of Dr. Wang, had much to say about his Pasadena eyelid surgery experience.

As a 46-year-old electrical engineer living and working in Los Angeles, Danny heard the same old question one too many times. Throughout the day, his coworkers would ask if he had been up late or if he needed a cup of coffee. It wasn't that Danny had low energy or really was sleep-deprived-instead, his drooping eyelids and the large bags under his eyes made him look exhausted and old.

Better Living through Cosmetic Surgery

Danny didn't want to look 20 again, but he did want to look his age and fit in with his peers, so he started doing the research on eyelid surgery near Pasadena. While searching the Internet for a highly-qualified local plastic surgeon, Danny came across Wang Plastic Surgery, with offices near Pasadena and the Inland Empire. He was impressed by Dr. Wang's background, education, and professional approach.

"He's a straight shooter," says Danny. "when I went in for my eyelid surgery, I also asked him about laser resurfacing for some old acne scars I had, and he was very upfront that from the available treatments, he hadn't yet found one that gave his patients 100% satisfaction. He only performs procedures that get results, and that inspires a lot of confidence."

No one would confuse me with a Barbie doll.

Like many men considering plastic surgery in the Pasadena area, Danny was looking for genuine cosmetic correction, not the latest beauty fad. "No one would confuse me with a Barbie doll. I'm not the kind of guy who primps and all that. But for those guys out there who have a cosmetic problem that's making them look 5 or 10 years older than they are, plastic surgery is a great choice."

And cosmetic surgery is more accepted than ever before. "I had an 80-year-old customer, a guy who's known me a long time, come in the other day and he was amazed by how much better I looked after my procedure. He wanted my results for himself. I recommended he go see Dr. Wang, and he was ready to sign up for surgery before his wife stopped him. She didn't want him looking better than she did!"

Danny's Alhambra, CA Plastic Surgery.

Though he knew eyelid surgery is a relatively simple procedure, Danny was impressed by how smooth everything went. He signed on for both upper and lower eyelid surgery. "I'm not the type who's intimidated by surgery. I've had several orthopedic surgeries before, so having a few incisions around the eye is really no big deal."

"I had the procedure done on a Thursday, at a surgical center 4 blocks from Dr. Wang's Alhambra, CA plastic surgery office. I was off Thursday and Friday, and by Saturday I had only mild discomfort. I rotated out ice bags for the first couple of days to minimize swelling and bruising. The biggest annoyance was not being able to focus well because of the stitches and swelling."

The stitches dissolved on the bottom eyelid, and Dr. Wang removed the ones on the upper eyelid a week after the surgery. The next week Danny worked from home. His follow up visits were just as pleasant as his consultation. "Everyone I met on the staff, they're all sweethearts, and Dr. Wang is a seasoned professional."

And Los Angeles BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment

While his drooping and sagging eye skin was Danny's biggest concern, both Dr. Wang and Danny's wife noticed small lines on the sides of his eyes. Los Angeles BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are ideal to treat these types of wrinkles, often called "crow's feet." Danny also had developed a wrinkle across the bridge of his nose. "I was hesitant about treating that one," he says. "I make my living being a very serious, aggressive guy, and I guess that makes me scowl a lot. I didn't want a really thick line in between my brows, but I didn't want to lose my edge either." In the end, he did choose to soften the area with BOTOX Cosmetic.

"I have total confidence in Dr. Wang," adds Danny. "Now I look like guys my age should. I feel better when I see myself in the mirror, and my wife says I look at least 5 years younger. If I was going to get anything else done, I wouldn't shop around-I'd go straight to Dr. Wang."
