“Lower eye lid surgery/ not happy with results”
Eyelid Surgery: NOT worth it
Pain: Mild
I feel that my doctor took a very "conservative" approach to my surgery. As a result, I do not see much of a difference at all. Im not saying that he screwed my eyes up. Im saying that I paid 3000k for pretty much nothing. I hated my eyes before, I hate my eyes now.
Im a 30 year old male and I had lower eye lid surgery 2 weeks ago. I must say that Im not happy with the results at all. I barely see a difference and I felt that if I would have known before hand that these would be the results, I would have never gotten the procedure done. My friends, family, and co-workers all say that they dont really notice much of a difference.How do I go about letting my Doctor know Im not happy without disrespecting him? What are my options because I feel I got robbed

First of all wait another 2 weeks. It's still early. And then your options are very simple: You tell the Dr.on your follow up that you are NOT happy and want SOMETHING else done. Did you only had the lower done? When I had mine done (upper only) and asked my Dr for the lowers as well he said it would only make about 20% improvement on the fine lines! So I passed on that one. and saved about $2300. He TOLD me what to expect. If you are still unhappy in 2 Weeks tell him about it. He is a MD,so what ? Dont let that stop you from telling him how you feel. You paid $3000 and he did not deliver. Plain and simple . Hope you feel better :)

Hey there, I had an upper and lower done around 4 weeks ago and like you, I can't see the difference! I expected to go back to work and people would say 'wow', but nothing, I had an odd comment saying i looked rested, but like you i'm unhappy and not sure what to do? Do I get corrective for free? Would I have to pay again if i wanted more off? My surgeon told me that he deliberately didn't take too much off as he's seen so many cases where people have had a severe amount of skin removed and ended up with droopy eyes! Feel free to get in touch! I'm also male, 37yrs old. Neil
