I am also 2 yrs post surgery on upper/lower bleph, with horrible results, medically and cosmetically. My dry eye syndrome has made it impossible to function normally, impossible to wear contact lenses, and then, look in the mirror. My lower lids are droopy and I look like a total freak. DO NOT DO THIS SURGERY LADIES. Not worth the risks.
I agree that this issue should be brought out. I have thought Dr. Oz or some such show would be useful, but then, I would not want to disclose my face on TV. We have to think of a way to let others know that this is a high risk procedure that requires very very skilled docs. (i.e. ONLY EYE SPECIALISTS, and even then, think twice.)
8 months post op. I just feel that my eyes look weird. Worse than that, I am now a chronic dry eye patient, which has changed my quality of life, dramatically. DO NOT GO INTO EYE SURGERY UNLESS W a reputable board certified oculoplastic surgeon. Accept no substitutes. Ladies, this is major surgery, with multiple unforseen consequences. Do Not go casually.
I agree that this issue (general plastic surgeons doing delicate work that ONLY an oculo p.s. should do) should be more publicized. I was thinking that a Dr. Oz show would be a good start, but I would not want to be on TV. Somebody, step up and contact Dr. Oz! I'm chicken.
I have consulted w/ 1 attorney who turned me down. I think it is just too boring....no razzle dazzle, and probably very little sympathy for people who go into "elective surgery." That's my take on it. If anybody knows of a reliable attorney in CA that handles cosmetic malpractice, I'm all ears.
