I had eyelid surgery on 1/12/2016 i wanted fat removing n also my left eye had a bit of a droopy eyelid which i wanted correcting so it matched the other eye.i am really disappointed as 1 the left eye is still smaller than the right eye 2 i was under the impression that the cut would be made on the natural crease of my eye as you can see by pic its in between my eyebrow and my natural crease.i just feel really disappointed and wondered if you think my surgeon is in the right to cut where he has
Answer: I suspect your surgeon only performed a blepharoplasty on you and made no effort to correct the eyelid position. This is a common outcome where there seems to be a miscommunication between surgeon and patient. I think it is very easy to have a mismatch in expectations. Your goals and the surgeons goals may not be the same. I am not excusing your result which is not acceptable. Your upper eyelid crease are too high and not symmetric, the eyelid are droopy, you have lash ptosis and a compensatory eyebrow elevation. I call this syndrome: PUBS-post upper blepharoplasty syndrome. It can be fixed. Surgery is needed to lower the upper eyelid creases, reset the tendon in the upper eyelid that raises the upper eyelid, Mobilize orbital fat to help fill the reconstructive upper eyelid fold, and support the upper eyelid lashes so they are perky. I am attaching a video that demonstrates how this is accomplished. You can be fixed.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Miscommunication It sounds like a major miscommunication about the goals and objectives of your surgery. If you noticed droopiness and expected asymmetry to be corrected, you would've needed ptosis surgery which may have not been done. Although it's hard to tell from your pre op photos, your creases may have been asymmetric pre op naturally and your doctor chose those folds. What you wanted done may have been beyond the scope of what your doctor intended to do. If you desired ptosis correction, your lids creases could be set for more symmetry and this could still be done in a revision surgery.

Answer: Ptosis The preoperative photograph suggests that you have ptosis on both sides. If your eyelid positions have not improved beyond the appearance in your last photo, then you may wish to see another surgeon - an oculoplastic surgeon. Creases, lid position, lid contour and lash position can all be repaired with revision surgery. Some oculoplastic surgeons have capability of performing revisions in the office which saves out-of-pocket expense for you. Best wishes with your decision.
