Lower eyelid surgery 9 months ago. At first the doctor said he would fix it - later he said sorry-nothing more he can do

July 10, 2023
Asked By:ZoilaZ in West Hollywood, CA

My doctor said he conferenced with other doctors. I told him I was not happy and he said 'it's an improvement'. I told I do not see the improvement. He tried to get me to agree it was an an improvement and said I was being unreasonable. Is there really nothing that can be done? *I had seen another doctor prior who told me I would need fat grafting. I told my doctor this and he told me I wouldn't need it and fat grafting can come out lumpy. Would fat grating help?
