Scarred for Life

Not Worth It
Spent: $3,000 in Ireland

I had upper blepharoplasty performed to deal with some sagging in the upper eyelids which gave me a "tired" look.

After the procedure my eyelids are improved but the plastic surgeon cut further than the eye area onto my brow by more than a centimetre and this has left noticeable scars on my face. These are not in the creaseline or in the corner but going upwards towards my eyebrow. This is something I was not expecting and am very upset about. The skin there is much thicker than on the eyelid and the scar marks are much thicker too. I don't know what can be done to improve this but it's very depressing and the trade off was not worth it.

What did the doctor say? Did he say that they would last?

I see him again next week and will ask. I think at best it could take months. I just hope that eventually they will fade.

I understand that coconut oil does amazing things with scars.
