Lower blephoplasty and laser resurfacing ruined my face. How to fix? (photos)

Question

Had lower blephoplasty and laser resurfacing for hallowness. Doctor convinced me it would help, claimed I had “ festoons” that needed removed. Made my bags 10x worse and now they’re extremely red all the time. Surgery was in December. Had filler put under my eyes to try and fix the hallowness and filler does NOTHING for me. It didn’t make a difference. Please tell me how I can fix this. It makes me so insecure I need the redness and hallowness gone

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photo. It’s not possible to evaluate you through the provided pic. You need comprehensive examination with an oculoplastic surgeon. Hollowing can be addressed with fillers and fat. Occasionally elevation of the cheek can help. Good luck,
