A botched surgery left me with saggy skin on the outer part of the eye, and bad scars. Now a doctor wants to perform a revision as indicated on the picture but I am afraid I could get worse. What do you think?
I got an upper Bleph 1 1/2 years ago and got scars and indentations left (inner part) on my upper lid. What really bothers me the most is the indents around the inner corner of my eyes and the dark pigmented scar across my left lid. Im hesitant to get another Bleph to correct it, my fear is that too much is skin will be removed which was already the case in the first place. What other procedure would you recommend getting (epicanthoplasty & scar revision on the dark pig. scar) perhaps?
3 months after upper blepharoplasty, scars are irritated and red, occasionally when squint - hurts a little. recently started itching..Problem is the my surgeon is in the States and I am back in the UK now. Need to find a solid advice as to how to make scars start fading and becoming more smooth, less textured. Please advise. Thank you.
I recently posted a question asking if I had a dog ear on the ends of my upper eyelid scars. Thank you for the responses. I am showing the scars on both eyes at almost 6 mos. after surgery. The scars do not fall into the creases, and I am very self- conscious of them. Would scar revision remove more skin? I feel like there is no extra skin to spare on my lids now. Would steroid shots help? I am very sorry at this point that I did not travel further to another surgeon to have this done.
In April 2016, I had a blepharoplasty done on both eyes to make my eyelid creases even. By January 2017, the right eyelid and healed well but the left eyelid had left a crater scar on the side of my eye. I had the scar revision done on January 31st and it is now April 6th- the scar looks even worse and more unsightly. I feel self conscious about the scar every day, and cannot help but let the thought of it consume me so I just avoid mirrors now.
Hello I need an expert surgeon on upper eyelid scar revision. I had an upper eyelid surgery 2 years ago and complications occurred. Severe scarring in right eye and unsightly. When I use a pair of tweezers and I can grab eyelid skin and still close my eye. How do I know if there is enough skin to revise. I just visited a surgeon who said I don't have enough skin but with eyes closed I can use tweezers and grab skin and my eye stays closed no problem. How do I know if I have enough skin?
My right eye (Your Left) is slightly more open compared to the other due to a right cheek dog bite at the age of 4 years old, followed by a scar revision at the age of 25 years old which caused the skin to stretch more under my right eye. I would like anyone's professional opinion as to what could possibly be done to allow my eyes to appear more aesthetically symmetrical as possible. I understand and am aware that perfection is never the goal.
Can reconstructive surgery correct my visible eyelid scars after upper blebh, so that they appear a bit lower to camouflage to my own crease, or closer to it? My specialized plastic surgeon said scars will stay within my own natural crease, then aid he had to wing it due to excess skin. However, they go too high and they do not camouflage well at all in my own natural shape or laugh lines. I hate them so much as they are constantly there, visible and sunken. Can they be revised?
I had Blephroplasty 9 months ago. My eyelids are now very uneven and my eyes look different sizes. What is the best way to correct this ? No fat or muscle was removed. Only the excess skin. I feel like I have a bulging eye now and want more symmetry. Do I need scar revision or to lift the drooping eye ?
I have these visible white scars after I had bleph done by a reputable ocular surgeon it is now a year and a half later post surgery. The Dr. has offered to redo the incisions only this time he said he would suture inward not outward and hopefully that would fix the scars. I'm very hesitant now and don't want to make them worse. Is t his solution a viable option by suturing the skin inward? Is there anything else I could do to make them better
