Eyelid Surgery: Stories

The procedure was 7 years ago. It would have been more helpful if photos were in sequential order. The 15 years ago photo was an example of what I had hoped to at least resemble. As you can see in the first picture, the most recent, the eyes are very deeply set or sunken all around, the eye brow is much lower and the eyes look closer to the nose. When I smile there are deep pockets at the outside corners of the eyes from one of the areas that too much fat was removed. Time has made it so the scars are not so visible. They were too high and quite apparent. I no longer look like the same person. The basic shape of the eyes were changed from almond to round. Instead of a pleasing improvement I got a complete change in my appearance. At a follow up appt I asked the nurse who worked there at the time what she did because it was not what I expected and the pain had really been intense afterwards too. She said the Dr only took off skin. It was very apparent that was not true. As another patient of this doctor said I was put off with give it time and it looks fine. Eventually she did offer to make an adjustment but would take out more fat,tissue and muscle. Too much had already been taken out. So I never went back. It absolutely ruined my eyes. I have been looking into fat injections to hopefully fix the outside areas at least but the rest can never be put back. I am so disappointed and still angry about it.
