Missing Me

Thanks for responding. The only problem is my surgeon IS an oculoplastic surgeon. :-(

Every time I read one of these posts I get pissed off all over again. I am so tired of hearing all the stories about how these doctors lie to their patients. If it is the last thing I do I am going to figure out a way to get the truth out to all the women in the world that are falling prey to the lies and deciet by these money hungry doctors. They do not realize just how much this changes a woman's (or man's) life. We go in all excited about getting our youthful rested look back and we come out with the REALITY of a year long recovery and in so many cases looking worse than we did before surgery. All of this is because of our lack of education on this - I know if I had known then what I know now I never would have done this. My life as I knew it has been taken away from me and I will not rest until those son of a b------s responsible start being held accountable for all of their lies. There has got to be some regulation on this. And ladies...please, please do not get fillers put under your eyes after you heal. Your doctor will tell you that you will probably need "just a little filler" and you will be great....well prepare for more problems if you do that. READ all the stories about the complications of fillers and the so called crap that will dissolve it immediately if you don't like the look. Well, it dissolves it all right - along with your skin and tissue. Just take time to educate yourself please. Ok, I'll get off my rant now.

Yes, I will regret this for the rest of my life - I am having so many complications which I pray you will not....plus I have wrinkles now that are unbelievable (which I never had before). As for the scar - I bet it will go away and not be a problem. It's no fun right now but with time those are usually barely noticeable. Sometimes maderma helps but since we are all differenct don't use any creams unless your ps says it is ok. Just pack your patience girl - that is the best advice I can give you.

My ps told me to gently rub those little knots and they will eventually go down. They did. Pink went away too. I think both cleared up after about 3-4 months. Mine is still messed up in other areas but not that. Assymetry - Yes I do! One eye is now smaller than the other. When I squint the smaller eye practically closes all the way. Hope yours heals better. You still have a very long wait before you know your final outcome. You will be amazed how much they change from day to day over the next YEAR!

I regret it every single day of my life. Had lower done a year ago and look so much worse than I did before. Single most stupid thing I have ever done! You made the right choice. I think there are very few that are really successful.
