What kind of surgeon can best correct eyelid surgery mistakes?

I had a blepharoplasty 11 months ago, together with a face lift. I did it in Mexico but with a craniofacial surgeon who works also in a Texas respectable clinic. The face lift was good but the eye operation still left me noticeable bags under the eyes, especially the right one, and sagging skin on top with folds that extend on the outer corner of my left eye.

I am now 56 and have a good skin. I want to have another operation to correct this.

I need to know what kind of specialist should I go to, I need to have it really soon because I am a teacher and will do it during my summer vacation.

Yvette, I would suggest you visit with either a facial plastic surgeon, occuloplastic surgeon, or plast surgeon who has done many facial surgeries. Revision eyelid surgery is not without risks. Ms. Wake brings up a good point about hospital versus outpatient surgery. Fortunately the surgery you are talking... more

Hi there, I had a facelift, browlift, eyelift and necklift over the Christmas holidays. I am also a teacher so I have limited time in which to have surgery. I love the results-- my plastic surgeon is wonderful. I had no pain and I was up and running around with my husband in just 7 days. The special surgical hospital is only for plastic surgery, vascular surgeries, and joint injuries. I choose this doctor and facility because my mother-in-law used to be a recovery room nurse and has seen this surgeons work. She said he was very good. Also, I did not want to have surgery in a hospital where there are contagious people. There are no contagious or sick people at this facility. The facility is spotless, modern and state of the art. I had my own room that looks like a 5 star hotel. Several of my friends have used this surgeon and love his work too! As a matter of fact they plan to have more work done. I had to stay overnight because I was under general anesthesia for 7 hours. I also had liposuction done on my stomach and upper thighs so he made me stay overnight and I am glad I did. If you have the surgery expect to be very swollen the first 2 or 3 days. I looked like a giant Q-tip. Also, go to Bed, Bath and Beyond and buy a wedge pillow, it helps the swelling go down quicker.  By the way if you decide to go to my doctor, Dr. Jan Garcia in Webster, Texas,(a suburb of Houston, Tx.) please tell him Pricilla Wake sent you. Good Luck! I hoped I helped you out!
