My vision has dramatically improved and eyelids look great!

Everyone has been wonderful from receptionists to Dr. Amato. I was concern over the eyelid surgery, but the care and actual surgery went very well.
I would highly recommend Dr. Amato and her staff.

Enjoyable and fruitful with excellent results

Dr. Amato listened well and was very thoughtful in her approach to my problem. My problem had been an annoyance for me for over a year and it seemed that I was not going to be able to resolve the problem through other treatment and even a surgery that I had. Dr. Amato's diagnosis and treatment was able to resolve my problem, for which I am very grateful. I would highly recommend her for her care, thoughtfulness and excellence.

Dr. Amato does great eyelids

I contemplated eyelid surgery for years. It was not until I had a consult with Dr. Amato, that I knew this was the one Doctor that I would trust to do the procedure. Her credentials are top notch, but it is her bedside manner is what will get you through the ordeal. Calm and confident is exactly what you want from a surgeon, and she is just that. I consulted with three doctors in Austin prior to this surgery, and Dr. Amato was the best choice by far.

Eyelid Surgery

Pre-op staff were great getting me ready for surgery and explaining what to expect during and after surgery. Surgery went well. Dr. Amato and her staff called me the next day to see how I was doing. After one week, hardly any bruising/swelling is visible. I would highly recommend Dr. Amato to anyone needing this surgery.

I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty and brow lift!

i was frequently asked if I was tired. My eyelids were aging and making me look less alert.

I'd heard of Dr. Amato"s wonderful work. I had a consultation. She answered all my questions and explained my options. She considered my full result so that my look would look natural and complete.

I had my surgery a few days ago. it went smooth. Dr. Amato and her team at the surgery center ensured I was comfortable and relaxed. I am healing well, pain free.
