Eyelid surgery can awaken the windows to your soul

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 | 7 Comments »

Every year, one hundred thousand men and women choose blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to improve the way they look. Droopy eyelids can make you look older and can also impair vision. Blepharoplasty corrects these problems and also removes puffiness and bags under the eyes that make you look worn and tired. This procedure cannot alter dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, nor can it change sagging eyebrows. Though blepharoplasty is often performed as a single procedure, Des Moines facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Brent Koch, may also recommend a browlift, facelift, or skin resurfacing to achieve the best results.

If you are wondering how blepharoplasty can change the way you look, you need to know how eyelid surgery is performed and what you can expect from this procedure. Call our office today at (515) 277-5555 or visit us online at www.kochmd.com.

Ever thought about facial plastic surgery?

Monday, March 30th, 2009 | 7 Comments »

Below is an exerpt from a recent patient. These comments were submitted through our patient survey following surgery. Have you ever considered having a facial plastic surgery procedure? We have many patients who are willing to share their experiences with others.

“This has been a wonderful experience. Dr. Koch and his staff are so pleasant and professional. I felt like they had thought of everything . . . things were spelled out so well in the pre-op handout, it was wonderful having the little sack of supplies, I had my prescriptions filled prior to my apt., my follow-up has been fine. The gift certificate to the spa for a facial during my initial visit was so appreciated - I can’t wait to use it. I would be proud to recommend Dr. Koch and his staff to anyone considering plastic surgery.

If I were to describe my feelings as a patient - they made me feel special, they showed the appropriate excitement for me to have my procedure done, they were kind, caring, professional, did not seem in a hurry when they asked if I had any questions. I could not have been happier.”

We appreciate those who take a few minutes to share their thoughts with us. It’s these candid remarks that help us improve the service and care we provide.
