Like I said (above) I know your anger. It is unbelieveable these butchers continue to be allowed to do what they do.

I'm so sad to see the same thing happening to women in 2012 that happened to me in 1985. These doctors should be stripped of their surgical privileges. Actually they should be publicly flogged. And here I am, 27 years after being victimized by one of these arrogant mofos, still hating my eyes.

Finding a big city won't necessarily help. I live within 5 miles of one of the greatest university hospitals in the world, and in 27 years I've never found a plastic surgeon willing to touch my botched upper-lid bleph, OR EVEN ADMIT that the bleph caused my ptosis!

But here is something new I've learned and I'm ready to shout it from the mountain tops.

YOU CAN GROW NEW EYELID SKIN! YOU CAN GROW NEW EYELID SKIN!

How do I know? See for yourself by googling "foreskin restoration". There's a movement these days in which circumcised men are regrowing their foreskins -- another crime committed by surgeons on helpless victims -- by using skin stretching techniques.

I've been using similar method to restore my upper eye lid skin and IT IS WORKING! The foreskin guys use tape to stretch their penis skin down over the glans and recreate a foreskin. Well you can also use surgical tape -- DO NOT USE DUCT TAPE OR MAILING TAPE -- you need something that can be removed easily.

Your skin will grow new cells if there is continual stretching or tugging. In fact one of the products sold for foreskin restoration is called "tug ahoy". Read up on these techniques and you will get ideas on how to use the method to regrow eyelid skin.

Good luck to all...

Thanks for all your answers. Yes I do have ptosis but it's not because of a muscle weakness but because the upper lid was pulled tight and "tacked down" at the corners. Imagine a pingpong ball protruding through a slit in a piece of cloth. If you pinch the cloth at the corners of the slit, the pingpong ball has a small hole and so cannot protrude as much. And yes that pingpong ball seen from the front will appear to have ptosis.

I feel for you. Something similar happened to me 22 years ago and for years I fantasized about murdering my doctor. Ha ha, I never did it but it should made me feel better to fantasize about it. These doctors are criminals who should be locked up, not allowed to keep practicing their evil craft on unsuspecting people.

Same happened to me 25 years ago and I still despise the ahole dr. who did it to me. My eyes were nice and almond-shaped but had loose skin on top. I Remembered my grandmother's upper lid skin hanging down over her eyes and I didn't want that. But this ahole took out all the skin and all the fat, and clamped down the corners of my eyes which made them very small and pig-like. I fantasized about murdering him for years. Fortunately a lot of good friends assured me I didn't look all that different, which allowed me to believe it wasn't a deformity, just a change. But like I said I still hate that man's guts and always will.
