hI , I have the same surgery midface and lower blepharoplsty thru transcutaneous, I am three months post op and my right eyes is still swollen. Everytime I smile you can see the swelling that looks like a strip of french fries on my right eye It start from the inner canthus to the outer lateral canthus of my eyes, becoming bigger and bigger as it goes to the lateral canthus. Every morning when I wake up I would look at the mirror hoping it has become smaller and smaller. I am losing hope as I don't see any improvement at all. My eyes are really tight when I wake up in the morning it funny and weird . It's round and very different from before. I use to have a very attractive soft eyes and people used to tell I am very attractive . I wen't to this surgeon people because I wanted a refresh look since people tell me I look tired. Now I end up looking like a freak. I look very different from before. I cannot recognize my self in the mirror and even my sister told me the same thing.I am distraught I lost my identity.. My surgeon never told me about all of this. The thing he said is I'm going to look young and refresh. He never discuss any of this complications to me. I wonder how I can go on with my life now. If anybody is contemplating of having this surgery please don't you will regret it for the rest of your life. The pain both physically and emotionally you will go through is undescribable.

In additions I hae eyelid retractions , my eyes are not symmetrical I feel like the muscle are pulling my eyes from its socket. I'm very afraid I might end up losing my vision. I wonder If I can still reverse this surgery since it is three weeks post op. Even me is scared of myself . I look like an awl. God please help me I will never have plastic surgery again, I am a nurse and I will never recommend this surgery

I had mine done three weeks ago. If I had knowm that this is going to be the result I would never do it. My lower eyelids is so dark and when i smile and look at the mirror my eyes looks like looking upward. I look scary and really weird. My surgeon said no one will find out you had surgery, you will look young and refresh. I have known this surgeonb for years because I used to work with him in the same OR. but I have never seen him doing a midface with lower blepharoplasty, I have identations on the side of my face which he said it will flatten and never visible my eyelids are still puffy with irregular fats deposits. I regret so much having this surgery. I'm very different from my old self. people can't recognize me. I would never recommend my surgeon. He never discuss complications of surgery with me and and none of the things he said was true, I'm very upset because i have so much regards for him since we worked together in the same place. If anyone contemplating of having this surgery never do it. You'll regret for the rest of your life. I thought I was having a mini and i end up with a midface and lower bleph which is a disaster.
