“Greatly disappointed in lower eyelid surgery with fat transfer/grafting”
Eyelid Surgery: NOT worth it
Cost: $4,000
Pain: Painfree
Review of Eyelid Surgery:Pain: Painfree
Eyelid Surgery satisfaction: Poor
I do not recommend my Eyelid Surgery provider: Name not provided
Why: Minimized the down time and the outcome so far is most unsatisfactory. I have lost confidence now in following his recommendations.
Prior to blepharoplasty/fat transfer surgery, I was told my down time would be about 3-4 days for the bruising and a couple more days for the swelling. 3 weeks later, I am still bruised, swollen and have an unsightly lump under my right eye. I feel the surgeon was not honest in the severity and complications of the procedure, and now I have lost confidence in him & don't know if I should be massaging this lump as instructed. Please advise if possible.

That's crazy that he told you the downtime would only be 3-6 days. Your eyes are one of the most sensitive parts of your body and can take a notoriously long time to heal. You're still within the very normal time frame of healing. I've heard of it taking months before swelling subsides 100%.
