Sue:   So good to see you here ! !

Yes, I'm very happy with the T3 outcome - my droop is gone.  There's still a little 'pudgy' area just under the corner of my right lip;
Dr. Byrne said he had to do some extra pulling utilizing the sling too, so if it remains like this, I am still a very happy camper.
Also, I was amazed that Cigna paid the whole hospital bill (I think they worked it out with Cigna of Maryland) - so all I had to pay was the
$12,600. for the left side stuff I had done + the eyes - then Johns Hopkins sent me back a check for $3,600. overpayment.
For me it was definitely $$$ well spent.

& you know, the more T3's he does, the more he can perfect things for those (like me) with a big droop pre-op.

Always good thoughts,    Nancy
