6 months ago I had lower face lift with fat transfer to face including my upper and lower eyes (+ laser resurfacing around eyes) My surgeon is an excellent one with much experience and highly recommended.

My faith in my surgeon has been shaken and now I would like other professional opinions on my options to fix
