When Can I Have Brow Lift Re-done?

February 7, 2009
Asked By:lp2u2 in Kirkland, WA U.S.A.

I had an endoscopic brow lift, upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, and laser resurfacing. However, I am SO unhappy with the results, what the doctor didn't do, and his lack of expertise. It seems I still need another brow lift, and my eyelids are droopy and crepey. This doctor is willing to laser my upper lids and around my mouth, and I would only pay $500 for anesthesia. The problem is, I just don't trust him in doing a good job since the 4 procedures he's done are just NOT acceptable. Can I have another brow lift and get something done for my eyelids (possibly by another doctor)? If so, how soon after the initial procedures can I have them re-done? I really NEED advice here. I know you cannot tell a person what to do, but I am beside myself in regard to this situation. I attached a photo of myself before I had any cosmetic surgery done. Trust me, I look worse now.
