Yes,me too. Messing with the obicularis is a huge huge mistake. This procedure is fraught with complications. Thinking that you will get a surgeon to admit his mistake is entering the realms of fantasy. They never admit they are wrong. Go and get another opinion. In fact get several more opinions.

Do you have a health care ombudsmen? Here in Australia it is through this method that you can get free legal advice etc. Do you have a small claims court or similar (less than $5,000 owing etc) Be professional in any letters you write etc. You must prove inadequate warning, that his surgery caused the problems you have now etc. Write to all the organisations he claims membership of.

As someone who needed 7 procedures to correct a very badly done lower bleph despite this doctor telling me he had done over 900 of them....of course he didnt tell me how many complaints. He really had no idea and was clearly over confident in his cookie cutter procedure. He denied anything was wrong. I had to travel to another city to find an occuloplastic surgeon who did a wonderful job trying to repair the disaster left for him. I developed full blown entropion (which I had, but only occasionally prior to the original surgery) my original surgeon just ignored this ( I know now it is because he didnt know how to assess for it). Upshot of this is DONT DO IT. Read Dr Steinsepir's information before you do anything. Everything he says is totally correct. If you do decide to go ahead go to a really good occuloplastic surgeon. Not just one who says he is good. Look for humility and honesty.

Dont have it done!! Try fillers first with someone who is good at it. there is no going back after bad surgery, and it will set you on the roundabout of trying to get it fixed.

If you get no response from the drops and ointment, go and see an occuloplastic surgeon. I agree with all the above comments. Wait, wait wait. However if your doc is not able to spot an infection there is a little something lacking in his knowledge base. Did he view your eye through the slit lamp? If it is concluded that you do need further surgery. DO NOT let your original doc do this. If he cant get it right the first time.....Seek expert knowledge,NOT a general PS.
