I had a canthopexy from Dr. Neurohr. He had done a canthopexy on me about 10 years ago so I just assumed this one would go well also. The result has been disastrous: scar tissue pulled both my eyes down much lower than they were before. You can see and feel the scar tissue on the exterior of my lower eyelids. Initially, one of my eyes was actually hanging open on one end. I am totally not presentable without sunglasses. He injected dilute steroids underneath the lids once and after that, I decided to go to an oculoplastic surgeon. The oculoplastic surgeon said I will have to have skin grafts to fix my eyes and they can't be fixed until they are totally healed. Dr. Neurohr did a great facelift, and I just don't know what happened with the eyes. He doesn't seem to know either.

Oh my gosh that sounds so disappointing.  Please keep us posted on your healing and whether you do the skin grafting.  Thank you for sharing your experience.  I hope you find support in our Community.

Isabel28, Can you inform as to the top ocular surgeon you went to and who may or may have already corrected for you? I am wanting to learn of the top, experienced surgeon specializing in eyelids in the DFW area. Sorry for your problem resulting from Neuhror's surgery. Thank you in advance!

Dear Plano00, I went to Dr. Merritt at Presbyterian. He is in the office with two other oculoplastic surgeons ut Dr. Merritt is better known than they are. I had to wait 6 months after the botched surgery to get skin grafts and they turned out well. After this horrible experience, I am afraid to do any cosmetic work including filleers.

I went to Dr. Merritt at Presbyterian hospital. After 6 months he did skin grafts and they have turned out well. This has been a horrible experience and I am afraid to do any cosmetic work including fillers

I’m happy it turned at well for you. What a nightmare you went through. Thank you so much for your post. I think after reading your post I’m going to have a consult with Dr. Merritt. It sounds like he is a go to doctor for eyelid? He’s he the best in dallas for eyelid upper bleph and under eyes fat grafting?

Eyes still look horrible and lids are way lower than they should be. I went to a good oculoplastic surgeon and he says I will need skin grafts and no surgery can be done for 6 months. This experience has ruined my life as well as my appearance. I still wear dark glasses even at work. My advice would be that an oculoplastic surgeon should be the one to do canthopexy. I never got any answers as to what may have caused this situation. The dr. made no effort to reimburse me for even a fraction of my cost.
