    Thank you Dr. Kopelman. You are saving a lot of people from injuries due to misinformation. I couldn’t believe when she recommended laser, micro needling and retinA for the eyelids. I accidentally got retinA in my eye once and it was so extremely painful.
    I truly appreciate you!!
    Please keep doing these videos. Like I said you are helping a lot of people from doing the wrong thing due to her recommendations.

    I had a blepharoplasty but also did lasers to finish tightening. The blepharoplasty itself still left a lot of skin. The lasers do tighten skin a lot. I used Pico Way Resolve and tried Co2 but Resolve gave better results. They put in eyelid shields so eyeball isn’t affected.

    All of this is very scary. When you go to a doctor you are putting good faith into his/her advice. I can see from this video how some serious things can occur by a mistreatment. I am due for eye lid lift in October because my vision is impaired. I am praying my surgeon knows what he is doing. Thank you Dr. Kopelman for going out on a limb to inform us. Dr. Dray seems believable but I can see where her information is not only erroneous but dangerous.

    Hey doc! Loving your videos. I’m 29 and got an upper blephoplastry today. I wish I knew about the Botox brow lift and would’ve tried that first. Do you know how long after eyelid lift my eyes will be able to shut fully without quivering or tightness?

    • @drkopelman
      @drkopelman  Před 7 měsíci +1

      You should have a pretty quick turn around within a couple of days swelling should go down. And expect that true recovery can take 2-3 months for the eyelid scar to heal and then be minimally noticeable. And then with even more time sometimes a year you shouldn’t really notice any signs that you had a blepharoplasty.

    Several doctors recommend radiofrequency for dry eyes. The studies on it show monkey show no bad effects from radiofrequency though rabbits suffered from cataracts. Differences in anatomy affect how energy disperses. So I don't know if you are right about the radiofrequency claim.

    • @drkopelman
      @drkopelman  Před 2 měsíci

      Treatment of dry eyes(in humans ) is not ideally treated with radiofrequency. If you have dry eyes there are several drugs and tear drops which will frequently improve your symptoms.

      I'm having an upper and lower Blepharoplasty in the end of June...along with an endoscopic brow life...AND ptosis correction. I have psoriatic arthritis (autoimmune), so wondering if it's ok to have ptosis correction simultaneously with blepharoplasty. My plastic surgeon said it's fine and probably better to do it all at once because I have to time the procedure with my medication. Any thoughts or experience with that?

  • @jujuba9277
    @jujuba9277 Před rokem +2

    It is common knowledge that surgeons also commit many faults. they do a lot of damage that is kept secret in the operating room. Therefore, he himself does not know everything. Unfortunately, there are people who blindly believe everything a medical professional says. We must research more, and think before accepting everything we are told. Not all doctors are the same. It's good to be careful before letting anyone do procedures on you.

    Thank you for the clarifications Dr. Some CZcams Drs are on such fast-track lives recording and editing videos on a speed of light that they can't even choose the most appriopiate medical wording when they talk. Some just need to drop something out of their chaotic life and create content with more care and precaution. And be more extra careful when creating content in which they are not specialised in.

    I do threads in my face and they work! I have done hundreds of them in my cheeks, my jawline, my brows that lift my brows and lately my eyelids. They are safe, never had any scaring, sometimes a small amount of bruising, never infection if you use sterile conditions. They increase collegen and elastin that lifts my skin and reduces wrinkles. So doc, know u don’t want to lose any patients and all that money that you greedy drs are after. Tell the truth! The cat is out of the bag. Threads are here to stay!!!!!

    • @thirdeye7611

    With all due respect Dr Kopelman, I think that you misinterpreted what Dr Dray was saying. At no point she recommended threadlift, retinoids, hydroquinone, or ultherapy to be applied to the eyelids. Just like botox, she mentioned those treatments in the context of addressing the look of hooded eyelids, but did not personally recommend them nor stated that they should be applied to the eyelids.

      You can’t use medical grade microneedling anywhere close in the peri orbital region, and I would say never use ultherapy and especially radio frequency. In my opinion, fat volume loss from RF usage will speed up your urgency for needing a blepharoplasty, and no one ( reputable) will use any lasers close to your eyes…..
