nightmare

I hope you have not had this surgery. Please don't ruin your life like many have.

Hello, I would not have it done. There are just too many things that can go wrong - and look at all the stories here. I also had a bad upper bleth and I have not met many people who are happy afterwards. My advice is to leave it alone and love yourself and accept yourself for who you are and what you look like, nothing is worth the problems that you can have afterwards and these are the only pair of eyelids you will ever have. Be thankful that you have eyelids, I only have 1 1/2 eyelids after a bleth and it is something that I have to live with for the rest of my life.

Hello Vicki Sue:
Understand completely. Still fighting the ongoing battle since June 2006 when my eyes were butchered. I realize now that I did not need a bleth and only needed ptosis surgery, but of course, the doctor was willing to take my money and hollow out my eyelids. I had asymmetry due to one eye having ptosis, do you think the doctor mentioned this to me, no, he proceeded to take as much off one eye that he did to the other so needless to say I am left with my eyelid not closing due to lack of skin.

Hello unofactasunt:
I can feel for you; it is the same everyday for me. Burning and dry eyes, keeping one of them taped at night with saran wrap over it to keep air out. The results of a bad performed upper bleth are disastrous and it does affect every aspect of your life. I tell anyone - please think about this before you do it - I went to a local plastic surgeon, Dr. Richard Nesmith and I regret it everyday. I hope that others will read this and make the decision to leave their eyelids alone.

Hello:
No, unfortunately, I have not had much luck in finding relief from not being able to close one of my eyes. I have permananent shortage of skin from Dr. Richard Nesmith in Gainesville. Skin grafts are risky because they often do not match the surrounding skin - I have had 2 doctors recommend skin grafting but they have both said that it will not look good.
