WORTH IT
Dr. Codner successfully performed a complex surgical repair to my lower eyelids using cartilage grafts taken from behind my ears. Before coming to Dr. Codner, I had had 9 previous repair surgeries over the course of 15 years. The previous repair surgeries were performed by 3 different surgeons, and while some improvement was achieved, my lower eyelids continued to pull down on the outside edges (Google "??ectropion" to see photos of this condition). In fact, one eye was worse than the other and caused some pull-down of the upper eye-lid, as well. In addition to bolstering the lower lids with cartilage, Dr. Codner removed unsightly webs of scar tissue from the outside corners of my eyes that had formed as a result of the many previous surgeries. I look so much better now and feel a tremendous amount of gratitude to Dr. Codner.

You see what I'm talking about Jill nobody shows pictures. )-: If I have a successful surgery I will show pictures. If not, I will not even come to read stories in this forum.

It is up to the user's discretion if they want to share pictures on the site.  You can ask them to post pics but it is ultimately their choice.

Wow. How come you had 9 previous surgeries - was that a result of just one surgery gone bad and were they for aesthetic purposes or functional? Great that they're finally better.

Look at Dr. Naficy's website. Do not allow anyone to attach your cheeks to the corners of your eyes.
