what invasive procedures have you had done...orbital fat grafting with strip or pearl fat or dermis fat grafting or fat transfer injections? please tell us what didn't work. I haven't had restylane yet. next week I have an apt. but I'm still considering pearl fat approach.

Hi Virgo36. Sorry to hear of your experience. I have asymettrical eyelids with high deep creases after botched upper eyelid bleph also. Too much fat was taken away-more in my left eye. I've tried fat transfer by injection twice and most of the fat metabolized so i'm considering dermis fat grafting or orbital fat grafting. I might try restylane injections first instead of jumping into the more invasive procedures. I'm just not sure which Dr. to trust anymore. Have you made any decisions on what your going to do and with which dr???

t, I too have hollowed out eyes from bad upper bleph surgery. My doc was too aggressive also and I'm soooo regretful. Too much fat removed, creases to high, I look weird, I feel sick about it everyday. I tried fat transfer procedures twice and may go for a 3rd. I don't seem to maintain much of the fat though so I'm searching for a more permanent solution, but I'm scared to do the incision approach. What stage are you at? and how about Marybeth? Any advice or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated. -L

marybeth, I have the same problem and I'm looking for a solution for my eyes. I had upper bleph back in Jan 08. The doc was too aggressive, took too much fat out, creases way too high-especially in my left eye. I was expecting a subtle mprovement and he's ruined my life. I tried fat injections twice but didn't retain much of the fat. I'm scared to do the pearl or orbital fat grafting. I feel trapped and so regretful everyday. Please email me back. Thank you.
