December 15, 2022 my husband and I walked into Dr. Damon Chandler’s office to discuss blepharoplasty surgery for both my upper and lower eyelids. Dr. Chandler was recommended to me, but I wanted to have the opportunity to interview two surgeons. Prior to meeting with Dr. Chandler, I met with another Dr. who was a blepharoplasty surgeon. I was extremely nervous about having this surgery and at age 69, so far being blessed to have never needed any surgery. After meeting with Dr. Chandler, the decision was made to have him perform the surgery.
Dr. Chandler is a “People” friendly person. He took time to share information about himself and asked me questions that I thought were quite impressive. I had my list of questions for him, and he patiently answered each one. He could see that I was nervous about the procedure, and he reassured me that he and his staff would be there to walk me through the process. He always demonstrated professionalism, spoke clearly, and gave examples verbally as well as diagrams, as he discussed the steps that I would go through. He took his own photos of my upper and lower eyelids and did not have an assistant to do it. I thought that was a good thing to do. The day of my surgery finally arrived. February 17, 2023, my husband, and I arrived at the Abington Surgical Center. My post-op medications (2 items) were called in to my pharmacy a week prior and picked up. The staff at the Abington Surgical Center were pleasant and professional. Dr. Chandler entered the holding room with a smile, and asked how I was feeling. I met each surgical staff member. Then Dr. Chandler explained the operating room, and the different sounds I would hear when I entered the room. I already knew from our previous meeting how long the surgery would be, that my eyes would be swollen and require ice on and off every 20 minutes, and to sleep in an elevated position.
As I entered the operating room, I felt confident, relaxed, and ready (due to the knowledge learned from Dr. Chandler regarding this procedure). Hours later, an Abington staff member woke me up after the surgery and my husband was there. My husband said that Dr. Chandler was pleased with the surgery and discussed the “Post-Operative” instructions sheet with him as he did earlier with me before the surgery. I felt NO pain! We followed the instructions and the next day Dr. Chandler reached out to us to see how I was doing. I was fine, and glad that the surgery itself was not painful. However, the next morning, the Tylenol and ice compresses for the eyes helped with the after-surgery slight discomfort.
I was scheduled to see Dr. Chandler about a week after the surgery (February 23, 2023) for my Post-Op follow up visit. He was pleased and I was ecstatic to see the difference in me before the surgery and up to that point. Both eyes still had some swelling and bruises, but you could see the improvement taking place.
I thanked the Lord for the gifted hands and patience he gave Dr. Chandler, and as we left, I smiled and thanked Dr. Chandler for helping me through the entire process. I thanked my husband for his support and being there to help at home with the medications, and me needing time to relax.
Dr. Chandler did not just dismiss me after the post-op office visit. Instead, he did a 3-month follow-up in June, and October 2023 appears to be my last visit.

To anyone who might be considering having excessive “bags” removed from upper and/or lower eyelids ( blepharoplasty) surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Damon B. Chandler MD – Cosmetic & Reconstructive Oculofacial Surgeon.
