Bags Under my Eyes - Eyelid Surgery Ruined my Life - Rockport, IL

Thank you for sharing.

I lived in Washington a short time. Now I am back in Florida. The doctor that did my revision however, is from Illinoid. Rockfor, Il. I mention him several times in my resision story. My eyes have help the fat long with the Pearl drafft, but will need more in future if I wish to pursue. The mid lift did wonders and my eyes look allot better than they did three years ago. It is a slow and continuos process, having fat added every few years are annaul. Only a small amount will remain, no matter what method used. So you must keep going back until you reach your achieved goal. Good Luck..

If your lower lids are not real puffy, you may consider a mid face lift. It may cost a little more, but through my experience and the readings of others, I believe that in some cases the lift would benefit more than fat removal, even a latteral lift as I ended up having in revision.

There are good P.S. out here, that do excellent, skilled lower lid surgery. Word of mouth, so check in your area first. If not and travel can be an option, great P.S. are out here. Just know what you want done, and seek all options for that need.

I find your comments helpful, but I believe making ones skin stretch takes years. Using tape or massage to stretch skin is not A NEW THEORY, however, it is a method that takes years to accomplish as it takes years for all skin to stretch naturally. I had to tape my eyes shut for along time, because they did stay closed during sleep, and all I can say, is after doing it for as many as 3 years, I saw no new growth, and if my skin stretched at all, it wasn't enough to make any different to my shape or wide eyed appearance. Common sence should always be used.
However, using filler as with fat, may stretch lids, and tape application may work. Just don't want anyone to thing this will work by itself.

This is for te Gal asking me about Dr. Steinsappire. Yes, I've heard of him. He is also on this Sight, or was. He recommended a P.S. in West Palm Beach,Fl for me to seek out, but it involved a procedure I felt too invasive and really did not address my upper lids, where the problem lay. He has good reviews, and apparently does great work. Revisions for upper lids is not clear, but he seems to improve lowers using Restylane and has his own mixture that works well. Only bad report I've read is he can over-fill, which can be corrected.HE IS EXPENSIVE.
First thing is to have a consult, write down all your concerns and address them at that time. Ask to see photos specific to your problem, if he has any.Bring photos of what you looked like before the surgery your trying to correct, if possible. This doctor sounds credible, but none are GOD so enter with realistic expectations, and rather focus on what you use to look like, focus on what truly needs repair and softening.I'm sure this P.S. has some bad reviews like most all do, but if they are only a few, and it is repairable, don't let that deter you. He sounds like he knows his stuff, been around a long time, and experienced. Good Luck
