A recent post on The Gloss states that eyelid tape works better than Asian eyelid surgery so long as you are "doing it for the right reasons". Do you agree? Have you tried using eyelid tape?I'd like to know how easy it is to use the eyelid tape and if anyone has gotten sick of using it and opted to have the surgery in the end. Do the surgery results look like the results...
Day 10. Still sore on incision site. Unsure if I am happy. Still lots of skin :/. I feel like I paid for nothing. Look the same. To add to all this, my eyes start watering and burn as if I had hot peppers near. Has anyone experienced watering eyes and burning? If so when does it stop?I see hanging skin. Dr. Said it is swollen. I think he messed up and cut to low. On your day 10 were you happy?

I recently went to an Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon for a consultation on what to have done for the bags under my eyes. I was told that I have Festoons and there really isn't a good solution to take care of these. My research also leads me to believe that this is true and there isn't a procedure that will give me good results, non-surgical or surgical. I recently read about...
I got upper eyelid Surgery about four weeks ago. I have been letting the swelling go down and hoping and praying that somehow this incision line would actually be sitting in the crease of my eye. It is clearly much higher. I am so upset, so disappointed, and I'm just really worried there is no fix for this. I don't want to have to go through more surgery. Is there anything I can do?
Did anybody get their surgery especially endoscopic temporal lift and canthopexy and gat grafting with him? Are there any reviews on him ?
I recently had a lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning. The repositioning of the fat is held together sutures and tape. About 8 ours after surgery I felt nauseas and vomitted. After vomitting, I noticed that my eyes became more swollen and bruised all around. The doctor said its just an excess of pressure which caused the swelling bruising and results will be fine, but Im scared...

Hello, I feel deeply distressed and embarrassed by the outcome of my upper and lower blepharoplasty. Prior to the surgery, my eyes were symmetrical, but now they exhibit severe asymmetry, with one eye bigger than the other and both turning more downwards than before. Even immediately after the surgery, I noticed a significant difference in size between my eyes, which only worsened as the...
Hi there! I had my surgery last March 11, 2024. On my left eyelid, my surgeon did 3 procedures. First is ptosis repair due to moderate drooping. Second, he added an extra suture to form an eyelid crease since I have no crease at all. Third, he removed some excess skin upon closure of the incision. However, i notice some excess skin and i dont like the eyelid crease shape. On my right eyelid,...
I went for an upper and lower bleph procedure 10 days ago.. and looks like I have eyelid retraction in my left eye or is it still too early to tell? Anything I can do about it?
I had non-incisional double eyelid procedure. How soon can I get a revision?
Hi, I had an upper bleph 10 days ago. I know we are supposed to wait until swellig etc goes to form an opinion, but unfortunately the more my swelling disappears the worse my eyes look.It looks like he has taken out fat and caused a hollow look which I didn't have before. I also have a really, really defined and high crease. I am feeling so sad because I think my eyes looked prettier...
Is there anyone who has had surgery for congenital ptosis and is happy with the result? I already had the fourth op because some problems arose.However, the op is not satisfactory for me.My eyelid looks very strange, can no longer close it well, it no longer moves properly when I look down.My surgeons did not explain this to me and used a technique that was not agreed upon.Since the surgery...
I've have genetic eyebags and minimal cheeks. I saw two oculoplastic surgeons about 10 years ago (at 37) and decided that the cost wasn't worth it. Fast forward ten years. I just went for a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon and got a quote for $27,975 all in, which includes upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty with muscle suspension, fat transfer, laser resurfacing,...
In 2023 my under eyebags have become more pronounced. I had tear trough fillers in November 2021 and December 2021. I'm not sure if the fillers are gone and I just need more fillers, or if it's migration of fillers, or if the only thing that could get rid of these bags is surgery. How do you tell?
Hi, I had surgery on my eyelid in the past and blue sutures were used inside of my eyelid for ptosis. The surgery did not go well and I wanted to remove the buried sutures as it was causing irritation. They removed two sutures in my right eyelid but only removed one suture from my left eyelid as they said they could not find it. I still feel like I have a suture in that eyelid as it feels...
