This was the first time I had met up with Mr Young since he worked his magic on my eyelid last year. I have nothing but high prays for his skills as a plastic surgeon. My lower lid looks really good considering the large area where the cancer was removed from and what skin was left to repair and cover the wound. I am so delighted with the outcome of the surgery and have absolutely no side effects, vision impairment or weeping eyes.
