Review from I.  |  Source: RealSelf  |  Jun 05, 2024

My eyes are much more open now but still look very natural - I've always had droopy eyelids, and they got worse over the years to the point where my field of vision was restricted, so I knew surgery was in order. I did a lot of research before deciding to go with Dr. Gordon, and I never regretted it. He is extremely knowledgeable and will not foist unnecessary procedures on you. The surgery was quick, and the recovery process was a breeze. My eyes are much more open now but still look very natural. If I need more eye work done in the future, I'm definitely going to Dr. Gordon again. More

Blepharoplasty done on my left eye was the easiest recovery - Phenomenal Dr! I had a blepharoplasty done on my left eye and from start to finish it was a great experience. The easiest recovery and I looked like a new person a week later! Dr G is a perfect gentleman and a very cool guy. He even played Metallica for me during the surgery! More

Incredible Eyelid Surgery Results! - I've always had hooded eyes, and didn't mind them too much. But as I've approached my mid-40's, the skin above my eyes has gotten thinner and saggier, and was making me look older than I really am. My lids had become so heavy that they were sitting on my eyelashes. I also felt like I looked tired and angry most of the time, even with a full nights sleep. So I began research on RealSelf and found that there was a doctor nearby who was an expert in this type of surgery and had tons of before and after pictures showing extensive experience in correcting this issue. I am a visual artist by trade (photographer/digital retoucher), so it's my job to notice the tiniest of details and imperfections. I wanted to look younger and refreshed, but not look like I "had work done". I met with Dr. Gordon in person and found him to be honest, trustworthy, and a genuinely nice person. I was fully relaxed and at ease during the surgery (awake but with a Xanax to make me super relaxed), and with the local numbing I literally did not feel a thing. I was relaxed enough to be talking and joking with the doctor throughout the whole procedure, genuinely felt no pain at all other than the small amount of local numbing initially. I also had the doctor add a little filler in my tear throughs to ged rid of the purplish hollow areas under my eyes. He did that part first and it was a little painful/uncomfortable, but this was my first experience with fillers. Makes me look refreshed without needing to cake on underage concealer every morning. Once the surgery was complete, I was given full instructions for aftercare and Dr. Gordon even personally gave me a call later that evening to check in on me to make sure I was doing okay. There was a staff member who was available by text if I had any questions or concerns.I was red and swollen and in a small amount of pain for a few days after, so I laid low, caught up on Netflix, and let myself heal. Tylenol and the Rx eye cream helped a lot. My surgery was on a Thursday, and by Monday I felt well enough to run a couple of errands and do some light shopping (wearing sunglasses of course to hide my stitches). Eight days after my surgery I returned to have my stitches taken out -- by the way I have to mention how precise and careful the stitches were! Seriously impressive, so as to make the scar basically invisible in the new crease of my eye. My stitches came out and except for a small amount of redness and a tiny bit of swelling, you would never know I had surgery a week ago. Now a few days later, the swelling is almost completely gone and I have a pretty good idea of the final results and I am so happy!I would highly recommend Dr. Gordon if you are in suburban NYC and looking for a precise and skilled eye surgeon. It is not inexpensive, but it is money well spent! More

Amazing Doc - Go for It! - Dr Gordon is by far the most honest and kind doctor I have met! He was very upfront with me that I’m not ready for blepharoplasty now. Instead of pointing out my problems, he gave me the opportunity to tell him which areas I’m unhappy with. I ended up going with fillers which greatly helped maker by eye bag problems for now. I’m amazing with the results especially when it’s non invasive!!! Amazing!!! More

I Had Excellent Results - I went to Dr. Gordon for eyelid surgery. He explained to me that I had two conditions, not just one. He gave me the option of having both procedures performed at once but suggested I do them independently to get more precise results. I am glad I listen to them because I look phenomenal now and no one knows anything is been done. People just asked me if I lost weight and tell me I look you’re well rested. After I had surgery my sister went to him as well as my sister‘s husband for fillers and they are pros pleased as well. Great doctor and great guy! More

Upper Blepharoplasty - Should Have Done It Sooner!! - Dr. Gordon was everything the reviews said he would be! He was very knowledgeable, professional, honest, and caring.

Restylane Silk for tear troughs - Dr. Gordon used 1 syringe across two treatment sessions to fill the craters under my eyes. He takes a conservative approach, using less product than may be ultimately needed so as to avoid overfilling.

excellent eyelid surgery results! - I have been blessed and am an active 84 year old. Only thing is that i naturally didn't like how 'aging' looked on me, and my sagging eyelids. I consulted with Dr James G about a possible procedure to fix my droopy eyelids so that I can look like the young age that I feel, and he was really wonderful in taking the time to explain every detail to me. I trusted him and was so glad I did. I am so happy with my blepharoplasty results. A+ to you doctor! More

Excellent doctor, excellent results. - Drove up from Atlanta to see Dr. James Gordon. Staff was pleasant, but doctor James was really worth the drive. I was looking for eyelid surgery. He explained why I wasn't a good candidate for surgery. Instead he suggested plumping my cheeks, lower eyelid region and jaw with a couple of different types of filler. My daughter who always calls me old thought I looked "awesome!" I feel so much better about myself and do not mind having made the long journey. It was well worth it. I paid $1500 for the entire treatment. A bargain compared to surgery and without pain or downtime. Afterwards, my daughter decided to see him and enhance her lips. Dr. Gordon gave her less than she requested because he said it would not look natural. This I GREATLY appreciate. This was a great decision all around. More

I look like myself but well rested and more vibrant - Dr. Gordon did an amazing job restoring youth to my face. After 2 stressful years of working 80 hour work weeks I could not recognize the tired face looking back at me in the mirror. I have had genetic tear troughs and dark circles since I was about 10 years old, but the stress coupled with loss of fat in my face from aging exacerbated the problem.I was extremely nervous about getting injections so close to my eye area. The first time I had injects when I was 27 was on my nasolabial folds. I went to a dermatologist and they left my face looking lumpy. After weeks of searching reviews on this site I decided to go on a consultation with Dr. Gordon. I explained my issues, and after hearing his suggested solutions and results I could expect, I had my first round of injections the same day. No amount of filler can get rid of dark undereye circles, but at least now the hollows are filled in so concealer actually works and my face doesn't look like it's melting off.In total I had 2 syringes of Juvederm and 1 of Lyft. The first day we used only 1/2 a syringe, it wasn't enough to make my problem areas go away, but I appreciated that Dr. Gordon did not want to over fill my face and wanted to see how the product would fall in the next couple of weeks. Slowly, about every 2 weeks we added a little more for a total of 2 syringes. I did not need the full 2 under my eyes and a little went to my lips and cheeks.When I saw what a difference the filler made to my cheeks I decided to get another syringe of Lyft which is specially formulated to act like a facelift and lift up the face reducing nasolabial folds. And WOW, were the results amazing!Dr. Gordon's work looks completely natural, I feel like I look like myself , but a well rested vibrant version. My friends think I look great, but can't tell I had work done.I was able to go back to work right after the injects were done. The full recovery time was about 1 week, with minimal bruising that concealer can easily hide.I could not be happier with the work Dr. Gordon did. More

Perfectionist! - I was extremely satisfied with the services provided by Dr. Gordon. I came into his office for a second opinion for a lower eyelid surgery. He told me I didn't need one and advised me against it. He answered my many questions and I didn't feel rushed at all. Dr. Gordon told me that all I really needed was some restalyne for my tear troughs. The procedure was quick and results were instant! I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family who want to look younger and refreshed. The staff was very accommodating and gave me a last minute appointment. More

Amazing Doctor - Dr.Gordon is a fantastic Doctor. He corrected my under eye hollows with Restylane within two visits. The first visit I was very nervous however he took his time and answered all of my questions. I left the office with no pain or bruising. Truly amazing results. My second visit he added a little more Restylane under of my eyes and the remainder he added to my lips. He takes his time and focuses on making his patients happy with their end results. I have researched many doctors for this procedure and he is the best. Others leave their patients with bruising under the eyes and over fill. He is GREAT! No pain, bruising or down time that means that he is truly an expert. I am so happy with my results!!!!! More

Easily 10 years younger - I wish I could find all of the right words to describe how pleased I am with the outcome of my procedure. At first, I was very hesitant about getting blepharoplasty for fear that it might change my appearance to something unnatural. After careful consideration I chose Dr. James Gordon to help me rid myself of what I saw as an extremely tired and overall aged look. Dr. Gordon's comprehensive approach was exactly what I needed. His attentiveness, his amazing staff and concern for my happiness was a top priority. Its been 10 months since my surgery and the follow up is as good as the consultation. And, as promised, over time my eyes look better than ever. More

I LOVE my new eyelids!! - I had an upper eyelid lift with Dr. Gordon two and a half weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with the result! I have been thinking about doing this procedure for the past two years because I did not like the hooding of my lids - if I wore mascara or eyeshadow, you couldn't even tell because my eyelashes and the makeup were obscured by my lids...but now --- I can wear makeup again AND my eyes look bigger and brighter! I also want to point out how natural I look. I don't look like I had surgery -- I still look like me. Regarding the actual procedure - it was so easy. I felt nothing during the procedure and no pain after. The recovery was smooth too. Within a week, I was not hiding behind sunglasses anymore. I am so glad I chose Dr. Gordon - he was kind, patient, and very professional. You can tell he is very particular about his work (he marks up the eyes very carefully ahead of time) and cares very much about the result. If you are thinking about eyelid surgery, there is no need to consult with anyone else except for Dr. Gordon -- he is THE BEST! More

I'm a male actor who wanted to fix the "hood" over my left eye - New York, NY - I did a LOT or research before finally getting my Bletharoplasty. I'm a 40-something year old actor doing mostly film and TV work in New York City, and my left upper eyelid had a developed saggy skin (a "hood") over time and made me look slightly tired and hungover. In the mornings both eyes kinda look that way but after a few hours the right eye goes back to normal but the left still had that 'hood' that never seemed to go away. As a male actor, I have always been concerned about ruining my "look" or appearing like i had "work done" by doing any kind of surgical procedure... This could potentially affect my career, so it literally took me a year of research to finally settle on Dr. Gordon. The only negative thing for me was that he's not based in NYC, but now i'm so glad i invested the time to take the 40 min train ride to his office in Harrison, NY to have it done. I was impressed by his office staff and then by Dr Gordon himself when he came in to have my consult. He took his time and answered all my questions with genuine interest and concern. I was particularly impressed that unlike most plastic surgeons i consulted with, Dr Gordon was very conservative with what he recommended, and didn't want to "up sell" me with doing anything more than was absolutely necessary to make both eyes look equal. The results are fantastic. After a few days of healing i could tell it was a success, and now three weeks later, i'm absolutely thrilled by the results and can't recommend him highly enough. Even the scar which i thought would be visible is now very faint and no one could tell i had anything done. I felt he was incredibly caring and professional, his prices weren't as high as other surgeons in Manhattan, and his genuine concern for making this perfect was very reassuring. He even made daily calls to me in the 4 or 5 days after my procedure to answer any questions / concerns i may have had. I'm going to add my before and after shots here once i can figure out how to do that.. so please take a look ... i'm proud to show them off and encourage anyone whether its a medical necessity OR just to improve your appearance to consult with Dr. Gordon. He does do consultations in Manhattan for a fee, but If you go to Harrison for the consult as i did... it's free! More

So Happy!! - Westchester, NY - I was very nervous about my eyelid procedure, I had put it off once before but this was it. My droopy eyelids were just getting worse in looks and obscuring my peripheral vision. Dr. Gordon made me feel more at ease the morning of the surgery. Everything went beautifully and now not even 2 months later I could not be happier with the results. Without the droopy eyelids I look so much younger and I can see so much better, it's as if someone finally opened up my eyes after many years. If anyone is thinking of having eyelid surgery, I wouldn't go to anyone but Dr. Gordon, he is absolutely the best....thanks Dr. Gordon! More

Exceptional and Highly Skilled Surgeon - Harrison, NY - I am a 60 yr. old female who was plagued by undereye bags & hooded upper lids for years.Recently I decided I was tired of looking tired.I did extensive research on the top ocular plastic surgeons and came upon Dr. James Gordon and his outstanding reviews.I scheduled a consult through Dr. Gordon's wonderful assistant Mei-Ling in his Manhattan office and was impressed with his professionalism and his quick assessment of exactly what I needed to obtain the most natural and refreshed look.On 5/23/16 I underwent upper and lower blepharoplasty in Harrison, N.Y. with Dr. Gordon and his very qualified surgical assistant. As my favorite music played in the background I felt confident I had chosen the best doctor and was excited at the prospect of seeing the final results.As I was only under local anesthesia I had the opportunity to get to know Dr. Gordon not only on a professional level but on a personal level as well.He treats his patients as if they were a member of his own family. He takes great pride in his work and does it with a great sense of humor.The surgery was painless and the minor discomfort afterwards was controlled with extra strength Tylenol. I experienced bruising and swelling the first few days post-op which I was told to expect, but the daily changes in my healing were remarkable.One month post-op the transformation was incredible. I met again with Dr. Gordon and he was also impressed with the results in such a short period of time.I am going to meet with Dr. Gordon in 5 months and will post a before and after photo that will blow your mind!!Right now I'm a walking advertisement to the skilled surgical hands of Dr. James Gordon.Take it from me, you don't need to look any further once you're found the best.I continue to receive compliments on a daily basis on my appearance, and I couldn't be any more pleased with the results which in reality are still in the healing stages.I highly recommend this very skilled surgeon and his wonderful staff.

Consultation Review - Dark Under-eye Circles - Harrison, NY - Dr. Gordon is amazing. I came in for a cosmetic consultation regarding my dark under eye circles and wanted to know if I'm a good candidate for either fillers, laser treatments, or surgery to brighten my eyes. Basically I was willing to undergo any procedure that would make me look better since I'm getting married soon. Dr. Gordon gave me his honest professional opinion that any surgical or cosmetic procedures would not give me the results I was looking for. He didn't push any unnecessary treatments knowing they'd be useless, like some other plastic surgeons might. Even though I wasn't a good candidate for the cosmetic procedures, Dr. Gordon recommended a prescription cream. Thank you Dr. Gordon for your honesty. You're a gentleman and a scholar! More

46-yo Woman, Had Droopy Eyelids on Otherwise Youthful Face - White Plains, NY - He was great, his staff was great. I was awake during the entire blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery). Recovery was quick and he didn't charge an arm & leg. Also he's an eye doctor, not just a plastic surgeon, which is important. People have gone blind from this procedure! Certainly not on Dr. Gordon's watch. He is also one of the top docs for putting BACK eyelid skin when too much was removed by other surgeons (he borrows from behind ear). So he's well aware that surgeons can go too far, take too much, and leave the person looking permanently surprised. So he is cautious and conservative. I LOVE my eyes now. More

49 Years Old, Male, Eye Bags - Harrison, NY - I had a lower eyelid blef 3 1/2 years ago and was never pleased with the left over bags.Recently I started looking for reviews and things to try and ended up getting a consultation with Dr. James Gordon. Doctor Gordon reviewed the eye bags and recommended I do a filler injection.We did 2 sessions using Restalyne-L. Although I could not see much results on the first one, 3 weeks later on the 2nd I am pleased with the results. He injected not only on the tear troughs but also around cheeks and jaw area which was sagging a bit.This doctor is very professional, listens to you, cares and gives you a straight forward answer and recommendation on what you should do. I will need a lower eyelid procedure at some point, but at least this filler injection will delay the surgery for some time.I would highly recommend Dr. Gordon in a heart beat.....VERY professional and reasonable..!!

Wonderful Eyelid Makeover from NYC! - I was totally depressed with my looks and life until I met Dr Gordon in Nov last year and had my upper blepharoplasty done in Dec. Droppy eyelids, bags and wrinkles all around my eyes and face made me look years older than I really am. It affected my life. I consulted Dr Gordon in his NYC office and he gave me solid recos. He advised me against lower bleph (unlike other Drs I saw, they were eager to take my money and operate on me) since my bags weren't that bad yet. I went to upper bleph surgery to remove my excess skin. It was quite a painless experience. At first, I was just pleased with the results. But a few weeks later, Dr Gordon used Restylane to inject my lower eye bag area. He also used Botox to rid the wrinkles. Awesome! The results as a whole made me ecstatic!!! Unbelievable work my dear Dr Gordon!!! More

Carrying Those Eye Bags Way Too Long. Mamaroneck, NY - Not only is Dr. Gordon expertly and technically skilled, he is a genuine person who cares about how you look when surgery is completed. He takes time to explain the process, how you will feel during and after surgery, and the results you can expect. He is not full of fluff and glitz, talks honestly and openly and makes you feel comfortable. He is the kind of person you want to give a great big hug to after all is said and done. And you will!

38-year-old Mother of Two Kids, with Sleep Issues. Harrison, NY - Dr James Gordon is a superb doctor. This was my first foray into cosmetic procedures, and he was reassuring, conservative and precise in his technique, and personable. I didn't experience any bruising or swelling, which I was expecting, as I always bruise terribly after blood draws. Regarding the pictures, I am wearing a bit of mascara in the after picture, but otherwise no make-up, and no under eye concealer--for the first time in twenty years! I had one syringe of Restylane Lyft, the vast majority of which was placed beneath my eyes, and a dab in my cheeks, and one syringe of Botox for my crow's feet. More

Great Perlane Results in Cheeks - Harrison, NY - I found Dr Gordon thru Realself and was able to get an appointment for a consult, and procedure fairly quickly. I had had restylane once in the past and had bruised for a week or so I expected the same. When Dr Gordon did his consult he opted to use perlane instead of restylane and said he believed I didn't really need it under my eyes based on what he was seeing, and that injections into my cheeks (upper) should fill the hollows; well he was very right. First I barely felt the injections and using a mirror he went a little at a time until we got the results I desired. The results not only turned out great, but also I never bruised and the swelling was so minimal that nobody knew I had it done (but my wife said it "smoothed me completely out). I will certainly use Dr Gordon in the future, I was very confident with his ability before the procedure and my results were proof positive of his abilities. More

I have been following Dr. Gordon for a while, always thought he's a great doc but just couldn't find the time to travel up to Westchester for a consult. When I called his office, I was very surprised Dr. Gordon to know has a new office in the city. Of course I said yes without hesitation! My time with Dr. Gordon was so easy! He made me feel very comfortable about my specific eye concerns and gave me all the best recommendation without any pressure. The best part is...... He doesn't charge for the consult and his eyelid surgery prices are reasonable, unlike NYC surgeons who end up charging us a lot due to their high rents.

Complete Makeover - 10 Thumbs Up! - Westchester, NY - 2015 is my lucky year. Just last year, I was very unhappy with myself, the way I look, the way I feel. I made a resolution for 2015 to get out of this negative cycle. I needed to do something to bring my life back. I started my research on the best surgeons, what they can do for me. It was a bumpy ride initially, I wasn't sure what to do and most doctors I spoke with gave me too many options. Fortunately, I met Dr Gordon. He is a straight shooter, very nice and sincere man. He asked me what bothered me. From there, that dr simply took over, gave me a complete analysis of what contributed to my problem areas, and provided his recommended treatment plan. I was so impressed and excited, quickly booked the appointment on the spot. Today, 3 weeks post procedure (I had upper & lower blepharoplasty, in addition to laser & fillers to my face), I look my personal best. No longer looking sad, I see a refreshed face in the mirror. Younger and happier :-) I finally got out of the mess I was last year. I thank God and Dr Gordon for bringing my life back. I feel I can finally move on and feel more positive! To everyone out there, I wish you all the luck in achieving what you set out to do (surgical or not) this year, we have a few more months before 2016! My resolution next year will be maintaining my youthful self (of which I will post photos to share, I want everyone to see my perfect look)! More

Recently Turned 50Yrs Old with TerribleDark UnderEye Hollows, I Looked Like I Had DoubleBags UndermyEyes in Photos. Harrison, NY - OMG , I love him, I went to see Dr. James Gordon because I was so unhappy with the dark under eye hollows & bags under my eyes which was making me look so much older. I always looked good in photos, but recently after some weight loss , I looked like I had double bags under my eyes. Dr. Gordon said I didn't need a lower lid lift. He suggested Restylane, this was my very first time getting fillers, because I was always afraid of looking over filled. Dr. Gordon took his time, gave me a mirror so I could see what he was doing, while he filled in the under eye hollows with small amounts of Restylane. I was very concerned about being over filled. I know many women & they all seemed so obvious that they have fillers. Well now NOT me! He put the perfect amount of filler just enough to fill in the hollows & the bags were gone! I am so thrilled with the results!! I don't wear glasses & started wearing sunglasses everywhere lately even though it wasn't sunny out , because I hated the way my eyes looked. Now after a fews days my eyes look amazing like they did before I lost weight. My friends keep asking me if I changed my makeup because I look sooo good. Dr. James Gordon understood exactly what I wanted & was so easy to talk to, he is truly an artist and the best in his field. My eyes look like they did when I was younger! I'm going for a follow up in 2 weeks, Dr. Gordon gave me the Restylane that we didn't use, now that I feel extremely confident, I think I will be putting a little filler in my cheeks as well as a little in the corners of my mouth. I will definitely be using him again to refresh my face as I age. I highly recommend Dr. Gordon and will be recommending him to all my friends!!! More

I went in to see Dr. Gordon because I could not see out of my left eye, the only thing I could see were fingers held up in front of my face. After having a consultation with Dr. Gordon he reassured me that he could restore the vision to my eyes and provide me with more clarity. I had the laser eye procedure done shortly after, resulting in full restoration of my vision! It was amazing and I am thankful for the procedure!

Best Gift for Myself! - Westchester, NY - I'm sure some of you can relate to my story here. I am in my early 40s, but look like I'm approaching 50. Heavy and puffy eyelids, wrinkles all around my eyes were the main culprits (and most certainly, as a mother of 4 boys add years too). Finally, I am ready to give time back to myself and find a plastic surgeon with special expertise on eyes. Dr Gordon was the first doc I scheduled a consultation with. Of the 4 docs I contacted, his staff was the quickest to get back to me. Given my hectic schedule, I really appreciated how Dr Gordon's office tried to work out a time for me. My husband, who accompanied me to the consult, was very impressed with Dr Gordon's credentials, professionalism and bedside manner. We were treated like friends without any pressure. It's heartening to know that this award winning doc doesn't have airs, but want true care for his patients. Without waiting for the 2 other consults I had previous arranged for, I made the decision to go with Dr Gordon. It was like finding your soulmate, you know when you meet the right Doc. In fact, I couldn't wait for my scheduled surgery date (in 5 weeks' time) and asked for quick fixes with Botox. I'm loving the results and really look forward to my surgery day. I know this is the best gift I wanted for the past 10 Mother's Days. More

Truly the BEST of the BEST! - Westchester, NY - I really don't think there's a better doctor than Dr. Gordon out there. The day I met Dr. Gordon was one of my best days and decision of my life. Dr. Gordon literally "uplifted" me with upper and lower blepharoplasty, along with skin laser around the sensitive areas around my eyes. He is a master of the eyes who knows not just the anatomy well, but also understands the art of the aesthetic aspect. The outcome is amazing, better than I had expected. I do not look like I had eye surgery. Nothing was too obvious. Everything seems so natural. Because Dr. Gordon is also a trainer for other doctors, he was so skilled in the way he used laser around my eyes to remove my wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Most importantly, all the procedures were done within my budget without any pressure. Truly the best! More

Most Appreciative Patient - Harrison, NY - No words can describe my appreciation for Doctor James' great work. I was very sick and tired of my old look at 62 years old. It was not until for daughter brought up eyelid surgery and researched on the best doctor for me. Doctor James was very pleasant and recommended both upper and lower eyelid surgery for me. I underwent the procedure about two months ago. It was rather painless and easy, contrary to what I had anticipated. I also had lip filler to give me lips when I have none. Honestly, if you asked me 10 years ago, I would have said NO to all these procedures. It was the overall wonderful Doctor experience that gave me the confidence to do this, and of course, my daughter's encouragement helped too. I'm very happy with how I look now. I would not hesitate to recommend Doctor James Gordon. More

Lower Eyebags Gone!!!! - Westchester, NY - I am still in awe with my eyelid surgery results from Dr. Gordon. I had a lower blepharoplasty procedure performed 2 months ago. It was the surgery I had always wanted to go for, but felt very scared about it. Year after year of research, fate has it that I saw Dr. Gordon's profile online and contacted his office for a consultation. Immediately I was made comfortable by Dr. Gordon's friendliness and professionalism. He assured me the procedure will be much easier than I thought. Indeed it was because on the day of surgery, I felt no pain except swelling post surgery. I had cold compresses on and the swelling subsided in just a few days. Dr. Gordon called me personally himself after surgery to make sure I was fine. I felt treated like a VIP. The recovery downtime was only a few days and by now, I see myself in the mirror and still can't believe all my eye bags are gone. Dr. Gordon also injected me with fillers to even out my underage hollowness. Now I look great! I have booked my upper eyelid blepharoplasty with Dr. Gordon again. I kicked myself for not doing it earlier... but better late than never. I am looking forward to post pictures of myself before & after once everything is done! More

Best Doctor for Beautiful Eyes. White Plains, NY - When it comes to my eyes, I only want to deal with the best doctor. I first noticed that my upper eyelids were dropping when we had a family picture taken. I looked tired and my eyes looked small and only half open. I knew I needed some kind of eye makeover. I went to see 3 different doctors and did extensive research online before choosing Dr. Gordon. From the first consultation, I knew Dr. Gordan would be the best doctor for the procedure. He was extremely kind and very knowledgeable, he told me that I needed upper eyelid blepharoplasty. He explained the procedure in details and set realistic expectations. He is an oculoplastic surgeon. I feel more comfortable to have this surgery done with him instead of a general plastic surgeon. Dr. Gordon’s office is far from my home, but it is totally worth it to travel to him. The procedure was smooth, like Dr. Gordon predicted, I healed almost completely after 2 weeks, without any noticeable signs of bruising or cut. Everybody said I looked younger and well rested; I had a new haircut which helped to hide the real makeover. I highly recommend Dr. Gordon, not only he is a skilled surgeon, he is also an artist who will make you look the best. More

The TRULY BEST Surgeon - New York, NY - So I made my round to see the so called "Best Eyelid Surgeons" throughout Manhattan, Westchester and Greenwich, but no one compared to Dr. James Gordon. From the moment I met him I recognized his superiority to the other doctors. His intelligence, honesty, clear explanations and easy demeanor were a few of his qualities that made me know this was the surgeon to choose for my eyelid surgery. Dr. Gordon was super caring about my anxiety and spoke to me at length about my concerns during my first visit to his office, the night before the operation and again in person at his beautiful surgical facility. I chose THE TRULY BEST surgeon to operate on my eyelids and now I'm loving the results! My sister is flying in from California just to have her eyelids done by Dr. Gordon in 2 weeks.

60 Year Old Widow Looking for New Outlook on Life - Harrison, NY - For my 60th birthday, I decided to treat myself to a new outlook by getting upper and lower eyelid surgery. After doing months of research, I decided to go with Dr. James Gordon who specializes in this kind of surgery and loved all the before and after photos on his website. I had those "tired eyes" that many people talk about. And with my reentry into the work force, I wanted to look my best without looking fake. My initial consultation with Dr. Gordon went very smoothly. He answered all my questions and stressed to me several times, that he doesn't do "extreme" surgery - which I loved because I wasn't aiming to be 30 again, just refreshed and awake. The day of the surgery went very smoothly. Dr. Gordon put on my favorite music and talked throughout the procedure making me feel extremely comfortable. Before I knew it, the surgery was over. I was lucky with very little bruising and no pain whatsoever. The stitches were taken out five days later and I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Gordon is fantastic and recommend him highly for this kind of procedure. Thank you, Dr. G for giving me a new outlook on life! More

Sagging Upper Eyelids Finally Fixed and Beautiful! - Harrison, NY - Ive been interested in getting upper eyelid surgery for the longest time but the search for the right surgeon is not always an easy task. Prior to consulting with Dr Gordon, I viewed many other surgeons’ websites and even consulted with several occuplastic surgeons, but was not very impressed in the end. One of the key things I look for before booking a surgery is the patient-doctor relationship (hopefully, you establish that before leaving the first consultation) but importantly to me is also the quality of the work. You may have already been drawn to consult with a particular surgeon via some channel. i.e. the reputation among his peers/community, a personal referral by a former patient, or perhaps very good reviews of his work/results on a website or plastic surgery chat forum. Whatever it may be, that consult is only the first step in the journey. I believe you really have to establish that “trust” before you even think you will book surgery with any surgeon. I was immediately impressed with Dr. Gordon’s credentials and awards as they are clearly stated on his website, but in the past I have discovered (with other surgeons’ websites) that while this can be helpful, it is not always the reliable indicator of results as one might think. Now, Dr. Gordon has those crucial credentials that any prudent patient would seek, but again; what is even more impressive to me are his results: how natural and beautiful his eyelid results really are. Since not every surgery will go as planned; (any honest surgeon thats been around long enough will tell you at least that much) just a sprinkling of beautiful results here and there is not going convince me or any one that knows aesthetic excellence. There has to be a definite pattern of beautiful results time and time again or what I call “consistency.” I believe that if you have consistency of results as well as a good solid relationship between you and the doctor, then you will have automatically made a significant increase in your chance for success. Dr. Gordon is very easy to talk to and eager to understand exactly what you want and desire. He is not hesitant to tell you if what you want is not realistic or if he feels it would not be in your best interest. In the short run, such honesty might lose him or any surgeon that honest some potential business, but in the long run, I'm certain that such honesty and straight shooting are some of the qualities that will, ironically, draw even more patients to his business than he can shake a stick at ... karma has a funny way of working like that when you are actually looking out for the patient.It is evident to me that Dr. Gordon's years of experience have clearly developed an eye that is sharply calibrated for creating the natural but refreshed-looking eyes. The bonus here is that he respects and listens to his patients but will adjust their expectations if necessary. And because Dr. Gordon is a down-to-earth and personable guy, you ultimately leave a consult with him feeling like you always knew him. He happily answered all my questions and even asked if I had any more, I never felt rushed and booked surgery on that consult day because I was confident that he would get the job done and get it done right. I am now six weeks post-op from upper eyelid surgery and so happy to announce that he delivered the beautiful and natural results that I so desired for so many years. My instincts about him were right on point all along. Dr. Gordon was meticulous and neat in his stitching work and my healing process was smooth and uneventful. What’s more is that there is a noticeable and definitive change in my appearance for the better, but because its so natural looking, people only sense something is better about me while not being quite sure what it actually is. I so love that! After all, you don’t want to look like you had work done but only that you are a refreshed and improved version of yourself. I've seen other eyelid work by other surgeons where the patients look like they sat on a bunch of tacks. You never have to worry about getting the “done-surprised” look with Dr. Gordon. Last but not least, his staff is bright and cheerful, willing to accommodate and move you through their process with a genuine and warm attitude. I not only received the gorgeous results that I've been wanting but the whole experience of being a Dr. Gordon patient was wonderful and cannot be overstated as top-notch patient care.The after-care and follow up phone calls from the doctor himself show a truly caring and compassionate human being and one that I would not hesitate to refer others for eyelid surgery. If you are concerned about your eyelids and are looking for beautiful and natural results then I strongly encourage you to discover my experience for yourself and book a consult with Dr. Gordon. I would also encourage you to do it soon before too many other people discover him and it becomes too hard to even see him. Thank you Dr. Gordon, you have made a difference in my life that I will always appreciate and cherish. More

Dr Gordon - Expert of Eyelids - Harrison, NY - My friend told me to go to Dr. Gordon because he's the expert of eyelids. I had a prior upper eyelid surgery, but the doctor took off too much skin. I developed hollowed upper lids. It was very clear to other people that I had eyelid surgery. Dr. Gordon injected filler underneath my brow to give fullness to the upper eyelid which then made it appear natural. Now people cannot tell I had eyelid surgery done. Unfortunately the filler will have to be injected again in nine months, but I'm willing to go through this to have perfect looking eyelids. The next time Dr. Gordon injects filler into my eyelids, I'm going to have extra applied to my cheeks. This doctor saved my life. I was so self-conscious. I truly cannot express how kind he is. I was crying during the visit, but walked out thrilled. By coincidence when I saw my hairstylist who noticed how good I looked, she asked who fixed it. I said Dr. Gordon. She screamed " We've all had work done by him!! I love that man!!" You have a lot of happy fans Doc! More

A Kind and Thoughtful Doctor - White Plains, NY - I initially went to Dr. James Gordon for a routine eye exam. I felt so comfortable around him, I asked him if he could do anything for the bags under my eyes(I was kidding around)! He told me he was also a plastic surgeon, and showed me before and after pictures of patients who had the same kind of surgery I was looking for. We started discussing options, but he did not try to "sell me". I was so pleased with the results- I looked fresh and rested- not nipped and tucked! I am also a "skin nut" and discovered he also did laser resurfacing. He gave my skin a smooth look with a new glow.I can't say enough about his kindness and calming demeanor. If anyone is looking for a caring doctor with a lot of patience- go to Dr. Gordon. I am a very satisfied patient! More

Great Doc -White Plains, NY - Westchester Eye Associates is the premier place for eye/vision care. I can't say enough great things about them. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. Particularly, Dr. James Gordon, he was wonderful. I made an excellent decision seeing him. He did my upper double eyelid surgery January 2011. In the initial visit, he was courteous, and very patient. He took time to explain what the procedure entails and I left feeling totally confident in his abilities. The surgery went very smoothly and the recovery was just as he explained. I feel that Dr. Gordon's expertise minimized my down time, to almost nothing. I am loving the results. Dr. James Gordon is also a fantastic ophthalmologist. I go to him for all my eye care. Just last week he revised a cataract surgery I had undergone a few years ago, and today I see 20/20. No pain, no scars, no regrets K Costanzo August 15, 2013 More
