Would Not Recommend This Doctor for Eyelid Surgery - Sacramento, CA

I recently found this site and have read through the whole strand of comments. I did not have LSL but the "conventional" eye procedures from a doc who I believed to be reputable and qualified. I did my homework; I went to several different docs for comparative consultations. In the end, this guy absolutely maimed me. I have gone through two sets of procedures (one a medical necessity) to try and get back a normal look. I disagree with the doc who says one can look normal again. I think it's rarely possible. Once someone does a bad job - eyes now different sizes, shapes, droopy skin on one side but not on the other - I'm doubtful there will ever be a "normal" again. I feel like a freak now. I wear bangs long enough to cover most of one eye so people can't see the difference so easily. It changed my whole view of myself. It changed me emotionally; I don't feel happy and I feel like I don't have the capacity to be happy anymore. I know people who go on with their lives after horrific injuries in accidents but in this case perhaps I feel angry with myself that I chose to do something, and paid for it, that left me disfigured for life. Also there is a comment above by someone who said that changes in one part of your face can have detrimental effects in other areas and she mentioned fat loss. I have this condition as well. After the surgery somehow the shape of my face in terms of fat deposits changed. Ever since my whole face appears drawn and much more aged than it did prior. I don't really understand the connection but it is true. I tried to post comments about this doctor (Sacramento, CA) on various websites and either there was no place to answer about the doc's skill, or whether I was happy with the procedure, or the post would be gone in a few days I think because they sanitize the internet with automated utilities that seek out and destroy the truth about them from real patients. I feel so badly that this terrible problem is so pervasive as all you victims demonstrate. So much for considering an LSL. Thank you for sharing your stories.
