the problem is that these guys have NO humility. They see it as a challenge. Trust me I know doctors. There are very few that will send you to someone more qualified. Even the more qualified (experienced) got their experience from somewhere, and certainly it was not all positive. I know how it works with other procedures. Being highly qualified and knowing your limitations is a hard combination to find. GET YOUR BACK. No it will not solve things but it will help when you need to find a new doc. Make all your correspondence in writing. Tape all verbal conversations. INSIST on your money back. Report him to any organisations he claims membership of. AND name and shame.
I just was reading old posts and noticed you are in Australia. So am I. Please contact me if you are still having problems. I have found a good doc here, who has helped me considerably. PM me.
There are many of us out there who have had our lives ruined from terrible blephs and doctors who have been less than honest about the risks, recovery time and then dishonest when they obviously see that they have made a terrible mess of our eyes and they really dont know what to do. Please read my story, 6 years later I still have problems and there is not a day goes by when I do not think about my eyes and the damage done.
I am so sorry to hear that you have had such a bad result. However I am not surprised. Surgeons will say whatever they think you want to hear and then do whatever they want when they do the surgery. They then of course deny that anything is wrong. Also the true facts are that no surgeon can truly predict the outcome no matter how highly regarded they appear to be. Did your surgeon offer to do anything to fix things? I ;personally have used some filler to restore some fullness. This does help, but I would definitely seek out an expert in this. Tell your surgeon you want your money back...you did not get what you paid for. DO NOT let him touch your eyes again. I agree there should be a group and there should be more expose of these bad surgeons and the reality of the high risk involved.
Hi
The doc that fixed my disaster was Alan McNabb in Melbourne. I am not sure if he does primary blephs, but you could always call and see. If you want any more details of who NOT to go to contact me privately.
