I've been telling these surgeons that I look deflated and they just dont get it. I finally figured out that my prominent frontalis muscles have completely disappeared after this procedure, leaving my brows with an older, flatter, effeminate look. The change is pretty drastic. The muscles were like round bulges extending about half an inch above my brows. I looked so masculine before. What are my options besides getting a forehead implant, and how riskyare those? Sry prefer no pics atm
It seems compensatory muscles have relaxed, leaving me with a gaunt, deflated and older appearance from what used to be prominent corrugator muscles, even extending to the top of my nose. Is there any way to restore these besides filler? And how likely is filler to restore this dramatic volume loss? thanks
I had a transconjunctival lower bleph done over one year ago to remove herniated fat in the lateral region of both eyes. Apparently, not enough fat was removed and the surgeon told me last week that the remaining fat migrated from the sides of my eyes into the empty lateral pockets. She offered to repeat the procedure because she did not get all of the fat out the first time. I am afraid of possible hollow/sunken look, bulging eyes, cysts, fluid.. what are possible risks of repeat procedure?
I'm not sure if I'll need another surgery to close the holes of the sutures. It's been 13 months and I've tried 7 steroid shots and betamethasone 0.05% ointment. Nothing seems to work. Should I consider another surgery?
I had Asian eyelid surgery and it's been 13 months post op. There are a lot of suture holes on my eyelids - I'm unable to wear makeup because it gets into these holes which defeats the purpose of my eyelid surgery. The doctor said he used dissolvable internal sutures which should take a few months to dissolve and help fixate my crease. For 3-9 months, I asked when these holes will close up. He kept saying they will close but it's been over a year. Why are these holes here?
Female, 34, Latina, one year post op- lower Bleph with fat transfer but my right eye still has some swelling. Especially when I smile, that side did need more fat according to my doctor to balance out my face & I noticed right after the surgery that eye had significantly more swelling. I thought it would even out but I still have a little swelling & a little pouch forms. Can this be fixed?
After a lateral brow lift and upper eyelid lift surgeries a year ago, I'm dissatisfied. Initially, I sought an endoscopic brow lift, but my doctor recommended a lateral brow lift instead. However, this resulted in an overly arched eyebrow and increased droopiness at the front, giving me an angry appearance. Additionally, the upper eyelid lift caused sagging skin and closure on my right eye's inner corner, which wasn't an issue before. The surgeries also altered my almond eye
Hi there, I had an upper blepharoplasty 14 months ago and was swollen for a LONG time. It actually took months for the swelling to go down. One of my eyelids still looks a bit swollen - is this normal? Permanent? Also wondering if maybe too much skin was taken out. I like the result, just wonder if it is the final look. Thank you.
I am a 49 year old woman who had upper eyelid surgery a year ago to remove excess skin due to aging. My eyes look better than before the procedure but I still feel that there is excess skin that makes my eyes look heavy. I mentioned this to the plastic surgeon who performed the procedure and he dismissed my concern saying that my eyes were fine. I then consulted with an oculoplastic surgeon who said not enough skin was removed. What do you think? And why do the two surgeons opinions differ?
