Don't Do It! Had Upper Blepharoplasty Last Year - Took Too Much off my Eyelids! - Saint Paul, MN

Thanks Dancelite - though, they used to be a lot more symmetrical. Now, one eyelid goes way up, higher than the other. In person they don't look good.

I am all healed. This was about a year and a half ago. He basically took too much skin and fat off. Now, I look like I have frog eyelids. My old eye lids were more attractive. At the end of the day, lesson learned. Don't waste your $$$ nor gamble on your current looks.

It's been over a year. It is healed, and unfortunately, look at how assymetrical it is. I should note that the doctor takes his patients photos 2 weeks after surgery - so the photos you see on his site are not fully healed. Instead, they are more full and youthful looking, as the eyelids are still swollen from surgery. (So the photos on his site aren't an accurate depiction of the final outcome.)

Why not sue for malpractice? Then use the $$ to find a reputable ps who can repair what he did? That's what I would do. There are lawyers out there that will take your claim and not charge you a penny, but instead collect a % of your winnings, if you win. I would seriously look into it. Do note you have a statute of limitations, which means you only have a certain time period in which you can sue. You can also make a complaint to the medical boards in your state regarding his care. Warm regards,

Hello,

At first, I looked at your pics and didn't know what you were talking about. Your upper eye lids look awesome. I had my upper eyelids done March 29, and I believe they are assymetrical, which is why I am looking at this site. Anyway, after scrutinizing your before and after photos, what I see is more whites of your eyes showing on the bottoms of your eyes, as if the lower lid surgery left your lower eyes more loose. They don't look loose, but you see more whites of your eyes. I would demand your surgeon to fix that - and if they are unable, then, I would seriously look at a lawsuit where you can collect $$ to get them fixed correctly elsewhere, in addition to emotional distress, pain and suffering... . These guys are forced to have malpractice insurance for a reason. Anyway, for what it's worth, I think the upper lids were done really well.
