  • 4 Apr 2010

I had 3 surgeries at the same time, eyelids, nose and breast. I am soo depresed because of the surgeries (specially my nose and eyes). My right eye it looks like its pulled down a little bit, they don't look even and normal like the did before.

It has been 30 days since my surgery and not to mention my nose, it looks crooked to the right. I don't know how to express how I feel. I am already thinking about a revision but its too early. To wait 6 months to a year is tooo long... My surgery was done in South America, so I can't even go see my Doctor.

Great review?

M, thanks for sharing, from what I can see you are lovely still even with the surgeries. How do your eyes and nose look to you now that a couple years have passed? Did they self correct?

You need to pretty yourself up with your hair and make up like in the "before" picture. I'm sure you will look really great. Give youself lots of time to heal and let all the swelling settle. I've read of risks by doing another surgery too soon; so give it time and you will most likely come to see you don't need it. Hang in there.

Thank you for your reply. I will try to wear make up. I touhgt that by doing surgery I was going to feel great, but on the downside I am feeling very down lately due to the rhynoplasty. It bothers me to see my nose leaning to the right side of my face and breathing obstructure. I will give it time, cuz I have no other choice. But just in case I am looking for a good revision surgeon in the future. I am embarrased of going to work everyday and I have no other choice since I have three kids.

For what it's worth, I think you're beautiful. Perhaps you are being too critical of yourself?

Sorry for your issues. Find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.

Unfortunately, this is an example of the downside of "medical tourism". If all goes well, you get a nice surgery, a nice result and a nice price. However, when therre is a problem, you are without recourse. I wish you all the best for satisfaction in correction of these issues, but I would suggest a board certified PS in the US.

Dr. Mark1959, Yes, I do have an appt with a board certified plastic surgeon next week where I live. My question for you is, after I had eyelid surgery..its been a month already. Will my eyes look even? I fee like my right eye is pulled a little bit and I can feel it as well. Also, in the mornings that eye is more swollen than the other and my eyes are very sensitive to the wind and sun. I can't even go outside when its too windy. I didn't know it was going to be like this. Is it going to be better? Will my eyes correct themselves? Thank you for your reply.

Well I guess you will have to go see a ps in the states and get another opinion. At 30 days out you are far from healed so I could imagine you being told to wait. I think your eyes look fine-your nose maybe its still swollen? Hard to tell since you don't offer a before photo.
