Im taking pics as I heal and Ill update for all of you that are going through something similar. I only wish my only issue was the eyes. Lots of anxiety still thinking what Ill run into trying to fix the lower half Dr. Lickstein ruined. Im updating when I still cant see all that great so bare with me. Takes a little bit to get vision back to normal. I will have a long way to go till I know what my outcome is and how deep and hollow I still am. Lifting the lids is said to help that a little bit. Im sure Ill be swollen for months. We wont add filler of course, till we know for sure. We talked about doing fat grafting. I had asked to do it, the surgeon wasnt thrilled about me wanting to do it because of all the scar tissue I have and it could get lumpy. I went with his thoughts on that and said no lets stick with fillers at a later date to save me the emotional stress of worrying about that on top of all the rest. Id rather see how well the lid surgery goes. He said I had so little skin he was wondering how he would flip my lids up and there was a lot of scar tissue and tissue missing. I feel like I already have more girly eyes again even with the bruising, lil incision and bruising i have. Im sure the swelling helps cushion so they dont look as hollow too... helping. I neeed those corners pulled out, upper lids lifted, looks like he also revised as much of the nasty scar he could on upper lids. He also had to do a canthoplasty on lower lids. He pulled the smaller shut up eye that was turned up down a little lower on the bottom as well. So basically he redid my entire eye shape. Pulled both corners out on both lids. I feel like i now have more of an almond eye again. Hoping the left eye when its done being swollen matches the right again like it did more before. Pullin that lower lid down farther should have helped a lot. The upper lid was also more droopy on the left eye. I think from what I see so far he fixed some of that nasty pucker I had that drove me crazy on the outside of the left eye. Im pretty excited about that. The girl in the recovery room showed me my eyes in a mirror right away and said your eyes look so pretty. haha I tried to see but light was hurting but I was quite impressed. Even then i felt like a girl ( even with no make up on ) I dont see that my eye lashes are all rolling inward now either and I feel they are flippin up as they should be and were not after Lickstein ruined the upper lids. So in all Im quite happy with my revison. For only being 2 plus days out. I feel so relieved. I know I have quite a battle ahead still .. finishing these up, getting my permanent tear duct plugs in the upper lids when healed. Its been a long road. Then working on lower half will be a crazy hard challenge. Only hope to find a dr as good for that. You cant even imagine all the appointments I have had up to this point.

Baltimore MD surgeon - Pictures speak for themselves. I had to ask if I was still to be using antibiotic eye drops, pull out stitches that were growing fast in my legs, pulled skin off n scabs, that were sticking out. Could feel them through pants, wasn't told when next apt was, had to ask at desk if I was even to make a next post op. Got calls after I complained and said I was getting other opinions of the botched areas. Now I see they deny I said anything about the back of my leg dent, and I sent numerous pics to show this dent and how Ill need fat transfer to fix it which doesnt let you sit down for up to 4 week. Im not even sure it can be fixed, you have to have a fat to take out to add back and more than you need because it all doesnt survive. My upper eyelids have ptosis now from the upper eye lid lift surgery. The lids hang lower from the muscle damage and I told by an LA surgeon it might be fixable which will also help the dug in upper eye lids a little. I look totally hollowed out up there and its a very dangerous area to be putting fillers in all the time. It really doesnt work well there because it can get even heavier. Im told its illegal for them to not send me my medical records. I have requested them at least 3 times and have not gotten them yet. That was in May!
