Unhappy with Result of Blepharoplasty and Mid Facelift for Eye Bags - Australia

Go to Australia, there is an occuloplastic surgeon there, Alan McNab. He is in Melbourne. He fixed my eyes and they were a real mess. A flight there and the week long stay plus the surgery would certainly not even amount to half of that.

To LouiseVecchi.....Are you in Australia?

Hi Jessie, I am not sure if I have messaged you before or not. I have been so busy with work. I so agree with you re needing special help to recover from the terrible outcomes of surgery that some of us have had to deal with. It is not just the outcome but the fact that we have been misled by those we should be able to trust the most...our doctors. They take an oath to "first do no harm". I think that it is something that they rapidly forget once the dollars roll in. They also have huge & fragile egoes and do not handle criticism well. That is why they blame the patient and deny that they see anything wrong. This is also because most of them have no idea how to fix what they have done. My surgeon actually told me that it was MY fault, because I let him operate on me. Isnt that just crazy. I took action and received a settlement from him as I threatened him with court action. He paid me, but continued to deny wrongdoing. How are you doing with your situation?

This doctor's reply is so typical. The reality is that when they are promising you the miracles prior to the surgery, they really do not know how it will turn out. Hence the backtracking afterward. They have to tell you something, and a surgeon never ever blames himself.

To Susana 7542...It sounds like you have a Frost suture insitu. It would be a little late for this I think....your PS obviously knows something is wrong.. I have had these too, but always straight after surgery and they stay in for a week or so. Wait a while and see what happens with this and massage. Even a specialist will not do anything until the eye settles down. Make sure you keep a record of every visit and conversation you have with your surgeon.
