Facelift with Chin Lift and Blepharoplasty March 2010, Unhappy With Eyelid Results, What Can I Do? (photo) I am coming up on a year since my facelift surgery and am unhappy with the blepharoplasty results. My surgeon agrees that he will have to do more to achieve proper results on my neck but when I said I was concerned about my eyes, he said it was just my skin. After paying a small fortune for this surgery and understanding that the results would last for years, I am disappointed. I really like my surgeon but I am not happy with the results.

A: Better blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) results. I wish you told us what you don't like about your results. I am wondering if it is the upper lids. If m'y guesses correct you might need a revision surgery to remove some fat and muscle from the upper lid to make it less full. Today in plastic surgery there is a big accent on conserving fat and soft tissue. Therefore it is not unusual to see under treated area. I obviously haven't examined you and my words are completely based on the pictures that you have provided. If you are unhappy and your surgeon can't address the issues, try to consult an experienced plastic surgeon in your area.

Getting Worse 14 Months After Blepharoplasty, Is Revision an Option? (photo) Went to an occuoplastic surgeon after 14 months of misery - he told me that my lower lids were loose and though my tear ducts were producing tears, only 1/2 of my eye was getting the benefit of them. He said my eyes were being pulled down at the outer corners, He told me to try and stretch the skin and loosen the ends. I'm in a nightmare. I tape my eyes shut at night, and wear sunglasses during the day. My life is forever changed. Help?

A: Can a revision correct my eyes 14 months post blepharoplasty?

Your situation needs a careful evaluation which starts with an examination. It is difficult to know what your problem is from a single photo. If your problem is related to dryness. There are many procedures that could correct the lower eyelid position and improve your symptoms. These include canthoplasty, tarsal strip, or horizontal lid shortening depending on the clinical findings. Find a plastic surgeon with an interest in eyelid surgery.

I'm Seeing no Improvement 1 Week Post Eye Ptosis Surgery, Is there Hope it Will Improve? (photo) Hi, I've started noticing my ptosis at the age of 6. Actually my parents friends started noticing, we didnt. And now at the age of 32 I decided to fix it. The doctor has told me that it is congenital and he will tighten the tendon and also remove a bit of eye lid skin. I just had my eye lid ptosis surgery 1week ago. The swelling and bruising went down and tomorrow I am removing my stiches.I am not seeing even slight improvement and am quite upset about it. Should i hope for any improvement

A: Still too early

Any eyelid swelling tends to push the eyelid down, so the eyelid still can come up over the next few weeks as the healing progresses, but you may need a revision if it is too low after 6 months or so. Oculoplastic surgeons generally have the most experience with repairing ptosis, but unfortunately ptosis repair sometimes does not work as expected and needs to be repeated.

	“Eyelid Surgery - Staten Island, NY” Went to Dr. Jeffrey Schiller in Staten Island. My upper eyelids were drooping to my eyelids. I no long had an eyelid. They recommended doing the lower lids as well. I am a 56 year old female patient. It is day 2. I followed their directions. Took Arnaca 5 days before to help with swelling and bruising. The procedure went extremely well. Of course, it is too early to tell the results.... more
	“Exceptional Results - Wayne, NJ” Blepharoplasty completed by Dr. Ganchi just 4 months ago and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. The procedure was painless, quick and virtually scarless after just a short time of healing. This quick procedure was simple, yet makes a huge difference in overall appearance as others around me comment on how "rested" I appear. The combination of the procedure with Latisse... more
	“Great Blepharoplasty - Washington, DC” Wanted to get rid of bags on eyelids and loose skin. My ex husband met me and said I look like I did when I got married to him (20 years ago). Revenge is sweet! more
	“Great Experience with First Cosmetic...” I recently had an eyelid lift and a brow lift. Had sagging skin over my eyelids that was unsightly and also affecting my vision a little. Wanted to look less tired and more alert. more
	“Lower Eyelid Surgery - Edison, NJ” I got tired of people telling me i looked 30 when i am only 23 so i decided to have this done. My surgeon and his team were beyond phenomenal!!! When i went in for my consultation i had no doubt in my mind i wanted him to do it. The healing process was surprisingly fast and the difference was obvious in about a week! The swelling subsided in about 4 days and i had very minimal pain or... more
	“So Pleased with my Doctor and my...” I did it because the skin on my eyelids had begun to droop down and caused me to feel as though I was always sleepy and difficult to keep my eyes open. I am so happy I decided to do it. The down time was next to nothing and the pain was negligible at best. more
	“Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery - Westfield, NJ” Get rid of bags. After eyelid surgery with another doctor I looked terrible. He had removed too much skin and my eyes were too open. I needed either a skin graft or some support in the eyelid to help push them up. I look normal now and Dr T did it. I had nodules of sculptra near my eyelids and he removed them. I thought my life was over before and now I am back to normal. God... more
	“Dr. is Wonderful!!! - West Orange, NJ” Upper and lower blepharoplasty and s-lift. I had very bad bags under my eyes. I look 20 years younger than I did. Nobody believes me when I tell them my true age. more
	“I Hope This Works...” Pros: too soon to tell (Day 4 of recovery)Cons: discomfort, too soon to tell if it "worked" I did it because I'm 37 and I felt it really aged me prematurelyFor how long (days) after lower lid surgery should I ice to speed up the recovery? I know it takes time but I'm getting a little frustrated because while I appear to be healing quickly in that I barely bruised ,on day 4 I seem to... more
	“Love the Natural Results” Painless, quick healing, relatively inexpensive given the benefits. I don't look tired anymore is the best feature. If I didn't need to take any time off from work, nobody would have been able to tell what was so different. The most difficult aspect of getting both tops & bottoms done at the same time is that due to swelling & blurry vision, its not possible to see for the first 48 hrs. more
