DROOPING EYELIDS

I have been diagnosed with Ocular Myasthenia Gravis (OMG) which means that I only have the symptoms of drooping eyelids. I have had an eyebrow lift and eyelid lift but my eyelids are drooping just the same as they did before my operations. It has been an absolute waste of money.
If you have drooping eyelids, Plse check with a specialist if it might be OMG. In the brochure of the American Ocular Myasthenia Gravis Association it clearly states that eyebrow or eyelid operations are contraindicated. They are useless. I did not know I had OMG when my operations were advised.
After all this time I get regular headaches still due to the eyebrow lift and tightness in the area were things have been pulled tighter.

Thank you for updating your story. As I was reading it tonight I immediately suspected you had OMG. (And I am not a medical professional-just very familiar with OMG. I'm sorry you had to endure this.

I had my brow lift and eye lids lift surgery a few years ago now and continue to have problems. Just last night I was wishing I never had the surgery. Mine wasn't for cosmetic reasons. It continues.

I am sorry for the pain you went through, and I thank you for taking the time to warn others. You stopped me from having a browlift.

I'm glad to hear that. I deeply regret mine. I've become weird looking at best and downright scary (in some photos) at worst. There is no easy or guaranteed reversal.

I had a brow lift almost 3 weeks ago and am pleased with the results but have severe pain at one of the endotine sites. I hope this will resolve itself soon because my whole summer will be ruined; the pain seems to get real severe when I get hot?? I wonder if it's the nerves coming back? Going to the doctor to see what I can do! Sorry about your bad experience!

I had a pretrichial brow lift and bilateral upper lid bleph yesterday. I saw yesterday a big difference by the time I got home my bruising began. I woke up today and look like I got hit in the eyes and face with a base ball bat. One eye is almost shut. I ice 20 on and 20 off till bedtime last night and today. How long dose this take to make you look presentable in public. Right now I look horrible !!!!!

The ongoing saga following my eyebrow lift

IeniesartJune 19, 2014
It has been a while since I wrote a review. I have been very busy and my husband and I are just back from a 4 weeks holiday. But here we go. I continue to have headaches as a result of my eyebrow lift almost every day so I am not impressed. I specifically asked my first specialist if I would end up with headaches after the eyebrow lift. As mentioned before, he told me that if I never had them before, there should be no reason why I should get them after the operation. How wrong could he be! It is ongoing after 1 1/2 yrs.
My eyelid lift was successful as long as I do not get very tired. Then my right eyelid starts to feel heavy and sags.
So, as far as the eyebrow lift is concerned, there are no changes. I live in hope it will get better. To think I have subjected myself to the eyebrow lift is hard to come to terms with.
My advice is DO NOT HAVE AN EYEBROW LIFT UNLESS YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON TO DO IT.

Thanks for the update and I couldn't agree more with your advice "My advice is DO NOT HAVE AN EYEBROW LIFT UNLESS YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON TO DO IT."

I'm having same headaches & tightness. My pics resembles yours. All I had wanted was upper eyelid skin removed not this lift but I'm now hoping the weeks to follow will be less painful. I am keeping headache & still my lids r heavy

I still have numbness and tightness after my very regretful endo brow lift. Going on one year since my reversed brow lift the tightness and numbness is still partially there. There should be a moderator on this site to start a topic on "BEWARE OF ENDOSCOPIC BROW LIFTS" , seriously there are many more of us out there suffering ten plus years of this debillitating act of greediness that plastic surgeons use on most people that do no need it at all. Yes stick with Botox, breaking the bank for Botox is worth your life.
