The moment I walked into his office and shook his hand, I knew Dr. Eshima was the surgeon had been searching for for over 10 years. Besides the extremely warm and welcoming staff and polished looking office, my first impression of Dr. Eshima was a perfect blend of professional and personable.
I'm 32 years old, and ever since I graduated high school, I wanted to have the Asian double fold procedure done, but I could never find the right surgeon: one who would make my eyes bolder and more appealing, yet in a natural way, so that it wouldn't be obvious to everyone that I had surgery. I also wanted a slightly ""flared,"" seductive look to my eyes. :p
At the consultation, I expressed to Dr. Eshima what I desired my eyes to look like and he explained what he would do. He took into consideration my height and maintaining ethnic integrity, when determining the size of the fold. He took such care that I felt like a piece of art that he was refining. That day, I decided to go forward with the procedure.
The surgery took place conveniently across the street at St. Francis Memorial. The nursing staff and anesthesiologist were extremely friendly & caring.. I was a bit nervous, but upon seeing Dr. Eshima, I was comforted instantly. (His presence has this incredible calming effect...it's like a cool confidence that swallows up any doubt). The surgery was over in no time and recovery was a breeze.
When I arrived home, I followed all of the specific instructions given to me by Magaly (one Dr. Eshima's fabulous staff). She called me everyday to check on me. I had virtually no pain or problems sleeping. Moreover, the bruising was minimal because Magaly gave me Arnica tablets to take prior to the procedure. I strictly followed the healing regimen and in about a week, I was ready to see my new eyes!
It's now been over 2 years since I've had the procedure , and the final results are better than I imagined. Not one person (outside of my immediate family) inquired if I had my eyes done. Seeing my before and after pics REALLY revealed to me just how talented and artistic Dr. Eshima is... I received numerous compliments like ""Wow, you look amazing for some reason...Did you lose weight? "" Or ""Something looks different about you in a good way...I can't figure it out, but you look beautiful!."" I relish the compliments and owe it all to Dr.Eshima!
