5 Years ago, I had the misfortune of selecting a doctor that lacked the special skills required to perform eyelid surgery. He had all the credentials, but none of the artistic skills necessary to create a natural looking eye. So...I went through five years of no dating, no looking anyone in the eye and just plain heartbreak. so FINALLY, I got the courage to go to another doctor in Beverly Hills.


I went in with asymmetric eyes, bumpy fat from a botched fat repositioning and visible scars under the lids from the knife of another occuloplastic surgeon.

I will add some before and after photos as my eyes heal. I am almost 3 weeks post revision, so I want to give it a little more time to look even better! VERY Happy.

I am happy to hear that your revision surgery was a success! My greatest fear in having eyelid surgery is exactly what you just described the first time around (what a terrible experience). I'm glad that's all behind you now and look forward to seeing your pics once you've healed completely.

Hi Torontochick! As soon as I feel like I am photo ready I will put them up. I gotta say, I just think Dr. Massry is amazing. I don't know how much he would charge for a 1st time eyelid lift. Since mine was a revision, it was a lot more work etc. My guess is it would be a lot cheaper.

Oh and I have to add, one more thing I have learned from this experience. Arrogance in any field can be a masquerade for a lack of experience. Some degree of self confidence is important, but it should not be blatant arrogance. Any good doctor will factor in the human equation and understand your fears and find a way to put you at ease. A good doctor will also do what it takes to make things right for their patient. I have begun to realize there are not many of them out there. I had several opinions about my revision and I am glad I ignored them all and went to Dr. Massry. Because, what he did and said...was exactly the opposite and I look great now. The other doctors obviously did not know very much.

I was wondering the same thing re: pricing and have to think that an upper bleph would be much cheaper for a 1st timer. As skilled and talented as Dr. Massry sounds, spending $9K on eyelid surgery is way out of my budget (sadly).

Yeah, I would give them a call. Now that I know more, I never should have been given the lower bleph in the first place.

I would give them a call. Here is the website with the phone number. http://www.drmassry.com/

Let me know if I can help in any way.
