wow, what timing! i sooo appreciate your message. i just went for a follow up yesterday (even tho i had requested a refund about 3 months ago, and was turned down). I figured, if he's not going to refund me or make any corrections, i will at least take up his time letting him see his results, which, of course he thinks is "great".
My face has calmed down a bit and i can accept my lopsided (not just asymmetrical like before, but lopsided) and my stretched smile (like yours, a pulling makes the ridge). Its really my eyes and the lower lid surgery that still haunts me everyday. i actually "feel" the surgery, so that makes it harder to forget about it during the day.
Well, thank you again. And i will ask again if you care to share personal email or photos. If not, i totally understand. i have made a few connections here and its comforting to chat with someone who understands. Please take care too....

thank you so much for your response. i too have the ridge above my lip and a pulled sensation and a larger lip, and larger, uneven cheeks when i smile. but, none of that compare to the horror look of my eyes- literally like the eyes of a zombie due to the flattened tire look under the eye, and crepey skin. now that the swellin has hugely subsided, the scars are more prevelant and the awful stiching he did to the inner eye (which should not have gone that far) creates the pulled, rounded look of my once beautiful asian eyes... well, i requested a refund through a four page letter and he sent back 2 paragraphs saying my statements were untrue and that there was nothing more he could do for me. however, he doesnt realize that there is MUCH more he could do, and i am scheduling an appt with him to let him know that. he doesnt realize that, though i accept how my body healed and that surgery is not a perfect science, and i accpet that sometimes things dont go as planned, but he went above those limits by creating a horrible result and not offering to fix it, or to refund me.

do you mind sharing photos? i can send you my email and pics first, if you like...

would you share photos? same op for me, with terrible results

i am 1.5 years out from cheek lift and lower eye lid bleph. every word of your story is the exact same as mine. only, i also suffer from crepey skin under the eye and unnatural, misshapen eyes. i told my doc i liked my cheeks and my smile and the ONLY reason i saw him was for reducing puffiness under my eyes. he changed my whole look for the worse and noone has once complimented my looks because i look odd! i used to be told i was beautiful, cute, sexy at least once a week- not bragging, but an honest fact. everything i read now, like your story, makes me cringe and cry and makes me sick that i didnt do more research prior to the surgery. how are you now??

i had lower bleph and cheek lift 8 weeks ago and feel so sad about it all. i don't know what possesed me to change what God gave me- i was beautiful but i wanted the bags removed, thats it. i did not want to change my face or eye shape... i feel like i was misled... ANYWAY, i have been on the internet searching for surgeons... i live in VA but called Dr. Massry in CA and he called me back personally. check out his site. i have to wait for any revision surgery, but he is likely the one i will use. i hope this helps. i will pray for you...
