Patient Reviews
Sep 28, 2024
I recently had a lower lid blepharoplasty performed by Dr. Distefano, and I couldn't be happier! From the first visit, Dr. Distefano was not only incredibly kind, but also demonstrated remarkable talent and expertise. He took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The results are fantastic—my eyes look refreshed and youthful. I highly recommend Dr. Distefano for anyone considering eyelid surgery; he truly delivers exceptional care and results.
