Lotsa stuff, Dr's Sy & Nase please?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I'm still looking for a photoderm clinic in the Houston or Dallas area.

If anyone has had a positive photoderm experience in those areas or

anywhere in SE Texas please let me know.

For the Docs:

Over the past two yrs. I've developed terrible undereye bags..puffy,

really ugly and aging. I'm willing to have a bleph-whatever-you-call-it

done by a very good local plastic surgeon, but am wondering...are these

the typical undereye bags we someimtes get as we get older (I'm 43) or

is this fluid from my ocular rosacea, which is severe???? I want to

have this taken care of ASAP but if surgery could be ill-advised due to

the ocular rosacea I need to know that first.

Also, In years past the rosacea on my face has been limited to

flushing, telengest.....whatever-you-callit, and tiny little bumps. Now

I'm having nose trouble. The tip of my nose, when examined VERY

closely, exhibits lotsa tiny little black dots that look like

blackheads but aren't. It also feels rough, like very fine grit

sandpaper, to the touch. What's the deal?? It seems to respond well to

frequent applications of Almay mud mask.

Hi,

I'm 43 too and I've noticed swelling under my eyes. I thought it was from

all the scrubbing I do to combat the blepharitis, but perhaps it is fluid

retention that has something to do with the ocular rosacea. Anyone else

noticed this?
