Lower Blepharoplasty Complication After 5 Months, Is a Revision Recommended? I had a lower bleph 5 months ago. I had an incision under the eye and fat removed. One eye is perfect the other is left larger and I have a small scleral show about 1mm. My lower eyelid looks lower than the other). I know this is not much but to me it is making me very unhappy. I have been to see an oculoplastic surgeon for a second opinion and he said it is very slight compared to others but he could perform a canthpexy or canthoplasty to correct this, but could this make it worse? Very worried

A: Lower Blepharoplasty Complication After 5 Months, Is a Revision Recommended?

If you are unhappy, then you should seek other opinions for what can be done. Canthoplasty or canthopexy alone is often inadequate and requires vertical eyelid elavation as well, but this would depend on your examination. Sometimes fillers can raise the lid, but this is temporary. There may be other suggestions. See an Oculoplastic surgeon with experience in revisions.

DST Revision- Possible Removal Of Leftover Suture? I have suture technique double eyelid(DST) done about 7 years ago, my right eye is looser than my left and there's a small knot at the end of my eyes, visible if I raised my brow. Is it possible to remove the suture ( I don't want any new double eyelid procedure done)after so many years and how is the whole procedure done and recovery time after operation? Thank you so much

A: DST Revision- Possible Removal Of Leftover Suture?

Although the answer to your question is yes, this is a complicated issue. You are better off getting a personal evaluation. Without someone actually examining you and seeing what you are describing, an accurate answer with proper expectations cannot be given.

What Is Causing My Eyelid Asymmetry? What Can Fix It? I have eye lid asymmetry. I'm not sure if this is because I have extra skin or if its a muscular problem. Are there exercises I can do to correct this or will surgery be required?

A: What Is Causing My Eyelid Asymmetry? What Can Fix It?

I agree with the others that you have ptosis. You should see an Oculoplastic surgeon if you want to fix this. Exercises will not help.

	“I Look Like Me; the Better Looking...” I had my eyelids done, a mini facelift and a rhinoplasty. Dr. Elam made me look very natural; no deer in the headlights or cookie cutter nose. No one believes that I am almost 50 and NO ONE believes I've had work done. I carry me before pictures with me to prove it. Dr. Elam made me look very natural; just like me only BETTER! I have referred at least 10 friends who have had various... more
	“HATE the Results - Orange County, CA” My right eye was a little lazy to begin with so while considering eyelid surgery for my drooping lids, I asked the surgeon if he could correct the lazy one at the same time. He said yes, he could 'improve' it. I told him that if he could correct it, that would be great, but if he couldn't, at least don't emphasize it. Well, he did just that. Not sure if he get confused but he... more
	“Lower Transconjunctival...” I had this done as an afterthought to my rhinoplasty. I've had bags under my eyes since I was a young child. As early as age 11 I started getting the comment that would follow me until I had this surgery "You look so tired, are you sleeping well?". Even a month before the surgery, I was explaining to a friend that I added-on the eye procedure to which he replied "can't... more
	“The First Cosmetic Surgeon I Have...” I had lower eyelid bags. I saw a number of well regarded plastic surgeons. They all gave me the creeps. They really seemed more interested in doing my boobs than my eyelids. I saw Dr. S. He actually examined me and talked to me about what I wanted. He was not like a slick salesman. He was really the first sugreon I have meet who was caring. I had arcus marginalis release surgery and lower... more
	“Left with "Floppy" Eyelids! Doctors...” First, right after my eyelide surgery, I noticed that the stitches were unever & that there were gaps where the skin seamed to 'gap' open. I just figured that the PS new what he was doing. Then I noticed that the incision 'crease' lines were not even! Now that it is 9 days post surgery, stiches out -- my eyes look horrible. I seem to have hanging eye lids above my incision... more
	“Upper Eyelid Surgery Has Given Me a...” When putting on eye make-up I felt that most of my eyelid was hidden under the small fold of excess skin. I wanted my somewhat small eyes to appear a little bigger. I thought that a less droopy upper eyelid would give me a younger and more rested appearance. A few months ago I decided to have a second stage fat transfer to add some fullness to my face since many people tell me I am too... more
	“Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery - It...” I had upper and lower eyelid surgery. After four months, there is a scar on the end of one eye, the discoloration has not gone away from the upper lids, the suture scars have lumps, there is a 'pocket' under one eye now, the skin in the center of my eyes was pulled down to create a freakish look, my eyelids still hurt, and I don’t look like the person I was BEFORE droopy eyelids!... more
	“Upper Eyelid Hollowness 6 Years...” I originally planned to only have lower eyelid surgery because I was always bothered by bagginess that made me look tired. There was some droopiness to the upper lids so the doctor suggested fixing that at the same time. I have fairly closely spaced eyes, and he told me that my age would show in my eyes more than anywhere else on my face, so having my eyes done could help me look younger... more
	“So Glad I Finally Had a Lower Lid...” I had a tremendous amount of fat under my eyes. I always looked so very tired and avoided family photos and such.After talking with 3 different doctors, I chose one I felt good about and had a lower lid transconjunctival blepharoplaty 4 days ago. I have only moderate swelling and no bruising.I am very happy with the results so far. I highly recommend researching the process, talking with a... more
	“Eyes After 3 Weeks” My treatment so far looks okay. I need to be patient. The operation itself wasn't painful, and neither is the recovery. The Dr. did have me take an over the counter herb that really stoped the brusing.I had lower eyelid surgery done 3 weeks ago. My left eye waters (like I am crying) all of the time, and it looks like the disovling stiches are still there. The Dr. says they will disolve, but... more
	“Eyelid Surgery Changed the Shape of...” I had upper and lower eyelid surgery and a bump removed from my nose. I would not do it again. I have not been happy with the results. The procedure and recovery were ok, but the result (after 6 months) is not what I anticipated. It did not improve my appearance; I believe it made me look worse.I had upper and lower eyelid surgey and it changed the shape of my eyes, and they often look... more
	“Eyelid Surgery Left Thick Raised Scars” I had sagging upper eyelids and had upper blepharoplasty. Now have visible scars that had puss and left bad round marks. He made the incision above my natural crease, dont know why and removed a lot of skin my eyebrow positioning is lower.What can I do to improve the scars from eyelid surgery? Has been 4 weeks since surgery. and I have black, red, raised and thick scars. more
	“Very Natural Very Happy with Results” I am 40 this year and wanted to freshen up my eyes a touch. I was tired of the constant "are you tired" comments. I had one eye different than the other for a week. I'm only 13 days PO and still red in one eye, but overall, I'm EXTREMELY happy with the results (eyes match now, I was just impatient). The key is to get someone good (duh) and not to over-do it. Know that you will... more
	“Blepharoplasty - Upper” My upper Blepharoplasty was covered by insurance because it had reduced my peripheral vision. While it's a fairly simple procedure, my recovery wasn't as quick as doctors will tell you it will be. Allow about two weeks and then, even with ice compresses and arnica cream, the redness may still be noticeable. Overall, I recommend the procedure. I have had many people tell me the difference... more
	“Bags Begone” I had upper and lower Bleph. ten years ago and felt great about it ever since. I was looking tired all of the time and I was self conscious because of the bags under my eyes and my upper eye lids were droopy. I think that I looked older than my natural years but every since, I have felt like I look much more relaxed and even younger! more
