I had an endoscopic brow lift, upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, and laser resurfacing. However, I am SO unhappy with the results, what the doctor didn't do, and his lack of expertise. It seems I still need another brow lift, and my eyelids are droopy and crepey. This doctor is willing to laser my upper lids and around my mouth, and I would only pay $500 for anesthesia. The problem is, I just don't trust him in doing a good job since the 4 procedures he's done are just NOT acceptable. Can I have another brow lift and get something done for my eyelids (possibly by another doctor)? If so, how soon after the initial procedures can I have them re-done?
I really NEED advice here. I know you cannot tell a person what to do, but I am beside myself in regard to this situation. I attached a photo of myself before I had any cosmetic surgery done. Trust me, I look worse now.
I am sorry for your unhappiness. Endoscopic browlifts are never as long-term and as durable as other forms of a browlift. My favorite type is to lift the lateral eyebrow with small incisions in the temples without elevating the hairline. But if you have excess skin or wrinkles in the central forehead, you have no choice but the regular browlift. As for redoing the procedures, 3- 6 months to allow for swelling to resolve should be enough. Good Luck!
Tp lp2u2,
Hi! You have such a nice face. I would not go back to the same surgeon if you are so unhappy. From you picture, your eyebrows seem to be in good position, and I am not sure you needed a brow lift in the first place. That's why you need someone with experience to tell you what procedure will make you look fresher. And then of course, it has to be done right.
See another board certified plastic surgeon, and wait a while defore having more surgery.
Ip2u2, It is okay to have surgery re-done, just wait a few months for the swelling to go away and the tissues to settle. If you rush into it, you may end up making things worse off than they are now. Please do not let the doctor laser your upper lids. Especially so soon after your initial surgery. Good luck.
