My Nightmare That Won't Go Away. - Edmonton, AB

  • 12 Feb 2013

It’s been over 1 year since I paid Dr. Rao to do a blepharoplasty on my upper eye lids. My left eye is alot smaller than my right and it is wide open, it feels tight and pulling. My right eye looks and feels droopy, on the outer corner area of the lid there is a big flap of sagging skin. There are very noticeable bleach white scars on my lids. The scars are wide like stretch marks because when my stitches were taken out, a few hours later the incisions split wide open. I phoned Dr. Rao in a panic & scared to death. He told me to take a picture of the open incisions and send it to his phone and said don’t worry it won’t scar.

I now have bleach white crescent moons on my lids that run from the inside corner of the eye to the outside corner. When I look down or close my eyes I look like frankensteins bride. It’s devastating, I can’t describe the emotional trauma. Dr. Rao was in such a rush to have the surgery done in under 40 minutes he did a horrible job and now I have to live with the results.

Great review?

Oh that incompetent dermatologist has been paid. I put the $3,000 fee for Dr. Jaggi Rao's horrible eye surgery on my VISA.

Dr. Jaggi Rao is a salesman schmoozer. I originally went to see him to have some laser wrinkle skin treatment done and he sold me on having a blepho. Dr. Jaggi Rao said if I booked it within 4 days he would give me $500 off and further he did not recommend paying for a surgeon to do it with knife incision when he could do it with his laser in less than 40 minutes! with no bruising, scarring, bleeding and half the cost. In fact Dr. Jaggi Rao said to me the only part that will hurt is the wallet but it would be so worth it. He was done in 40 minutes alright, my right eye was very bruised and the incisions split open because he took the stitches out too soon. He wanted me to send him a pic of the eyelids when they split open but instead I went to his office and he said there was nothing he could do and it won't scar. As I said the scars are wide bleach white crescent moons and very noticeable. I am stomach sick all the time :-( What could Dr. Jaggi Rao do to make it better? How do you get rid of stretch marks, cause that's what they look like. He's already told me there is nothing he can do. His kindness won't make this go away :-(

Hi - thanks. maybe he can fix the droopy eye and saggy skin pocket, but I doubt he can do anything for the scars, they're like stretchmarks, bleach white and wide. I am so self conscious about them. Before I can see anyone for help I'll have to pay off Dr. Jaggi Rao for the damage he's done, :-( I wish I could turn back the clock...

Better bet, check out Dr Royce Johnson in Edm, saw great bleph done by him. 7kids have you gone to wolfli?
  • Reply
Yes I did. Royce is excellent too. Did my cousin.

I don't have much eyelid left anymore, I probably couldn't get another bleph. I think that's why they split open, the left eye especially, it's really tight much smaller than my right eye. If I could just make the scars less noticeable :-(
