Even though I was frighten by the idea of more surgery, I could live with what me first surgeon did. He tried to convince me that I looked fine but I knew I wasn't crazy.

My rating:
I came to Dr. S to fix the botched lower eyelid procedure done by a highly recommended Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon. The procedure not only failed to improve my lower eyelids and appearance, but left me horrible unsightly bags and bulges, which were the direct result of this so-called high-end Beverly Hills doctor's work. I came into their office nervous, upset, and very wary, but Dr. S's staff put me at ease right away with their compassion, care, professionalism, and experience. I knew I was finally in the right hands! Dr. S correct the botched results perfectly, and I can finally look in the mirror again happily without crying! Dr. S is a true professional and an artist, and I have nothing but gratitude and respect for him, and his lovely staff.
Welcome to RealSelf, Rosey. I'm glad to hear your revision surgery went well.
Thank you for posting the review. I have very similar problem to yours. I was convinced to have a quadrilateral bleph for lower and upper lid by a surgeon in UK in 2007. I was only 30 at the time and had tiniest of bags which should have been treated with fillers.
After the surgery, I feel my upper lids are too low, to this day, I sleep with my left eye slightly open. The lower lid bags are worse and now are framed by hollowness around the orbital area (surgeon took fat out from wrong place).
I would love to talk to you further as I am considering coming to USA after reading your review. I would much appreciate your response.
