I had my lower lids done 4 years ago. Too much fat was removed. The hollow appearance of my eyes make my face look sunkin in and old. I also have excessive wrinkles under my eyes now. I was told by my surgeon to "be patient", that my eyes would not look the way I anticipated for at least a year. He lied.

I have been to at least 6 surgeons since my surgery to see what I should do to get my face back. I have been turned away by all of them. Apparently it is not possible to fix my problem.
I regret having the surgery EVERY DAY!

I regret every day i had my eyes done.. i dont look the same anymore i have been depressed for two years

Inquire about getting fat injected to minimise the hollowness. Apparently it can be effective. Good Luck.

I had lower blepharplasty on July 29, 2007 to have bags removed. Thankfuly my eyes look great!! I was very clear when I told the Dr. to be careful, I didn't want to end up with ptosis or have a different shape. I remember the Dr. told me to look up and open my mouth as she was ready to begin the surgery, and she pinched just a bit of skin to know exactly how much to excise, she told me she was only going to take a bit of fat as to prevent hollownes. I feel lucky due to so many devastating problems outhere!!

Every surgeon that i have seen since my bleph has told me that my skin is too thin for fat injections. I will probably end up looking worse. My only hope is a lift (I hope). Symmetry is a problem tho...
