I had a Mullerectomy over 3 weeks ago. I feel it has changed and ruined the look of my face. I no longer see myself. The right eye looks small, the skin covers my eyelashes and the left looks "tired." My eyes do not match. I am devastated. I have consulted my Dr., however, he claims it takes 3 months to see results. I have been on numerous sites with pictures a week old and the results are fabulous even with swelling. I know I have been disfigured. Posting for advice. Please advise. Thank you.
