Eyelid Surgery: Stories

Dear Sushi I dont think you need to get a lawyer. You must have a Health Care Ombudsmen who looks into faulty health care. They are free. Report this doctor to whatever organisations he belongs to. Doctors take an oath to "do no harm". Look around for a surgeon who specialises in revision surgery.

Hello, I've read your story and it certainly sounds like neglect was used in your case. Most attorney's that do malpractice, are like all law suit attorneys and take 1/3 after you reach settlement. You should have to pay no money up front. You need before and after pictures. Statements from friends and relatives. Also place complaints with your local complaint boards, state licensing board, and any rate a m.d. or complaint boards on the internet. Plastic Surgery is a difficult malpractice claim, because we elected to have it done, but to me that is Bull, and should be changed. I personally feel that doctors performing plastic surgeries without regard to patients mental and emotional well being,after they disfigure them or held accountable for inadequate quality in skills, should be held accountable. Of all the negative results, I've read on my own choice in Plastic Surgeons, she still has a lucrative practice. This to me is unacceptable. My face is ruined forever and I'm not the only one. I don't know when your surgery was performed,but you have a two year limitation for a suit. There has got to be attorneys in your area that will take this on if your face and scarring are that bad, and procedures were performed without consent. Getting your medical records secured, before alterations can be made to them, is important too. I had to get my records from my original surgeon for a reversion. Requested by second Plastic Surgeon whom would perform the reversion and wanting to know what she had done. Reading through it, I found it had been changed. I remember being awake while the first doctor was talking into her recorder for transcription, and it was entirely different than what my medical records said. The second Surgeon also said it was very vague in transcription. Cover your ass is the name of this game. Now cover yours and don't give up. I may never get my old face back or even a reversion that works. But you better beleive when I say, I'll do my best, until i die, to see the surgeon that did this to me, Dr. Vicotira Vitale Lewis, can't do it to another innocent victum. Just wanting to enhance her appearance. It's a promise to you and myself.

Sorry to hear your plight.I can relate to all that you are saying AND I went to the BEST. I am at a point that I just want to be able to see clearly, hang the look.. 3 months, one upper lid overhangs the lower if try to close, does not touch the eyeball, eye can't get comfortable no matter what I do, the 2 eyes belong to 2 different people,one eye makes 2-5 images depending on time after last blink making life hard if not impossible. And mine was a surgery to improve function with a cosmetic component to correct what functional surgery would create. I wish i could attach the photos of just my eyes....in conclusion,its not just about how good your surgeon......
