WORTH IT$4,700
I Can’t believe how bad my eyes used to be until I look at my old pictures. Now I see he did a really good job. Very glad I had this done! Now I need a lower face lift. I will need advice on that next!

Not worth the money I paid.
Final results. Eyes don't match. One has a bump under it which I was told would go away, and the other has a bag back. Scale of one lowest to ten highest, I would give his work in me a 4 or 5.

Your eyes match. I don't even see the problem. You look 100X better than before. Honestly it seems you created this problem in your mind I understand being upset about lower lid retraction but you cannot see it. It will get better in time.
How did you get the whites of your eyes to even up again - like in the previous photo one eye seemed to have white showing at the bottom. I have that same issue now 8 days post op from lower bleph. I've been pulling my lower lid down with a qtip. Glad to know you were told to do that, but again, your eyes look much better when looking up...did the qtip trick help?..I'm happy my bags are gone but definitely don't want a new issue. My left eye looks like it has pink eye and is very itchy.
You won't be fully healed for a long one. About 5 months isvwhen the whites started looking even, and they still are not 100percent. I did not pull down with a q tip I pushed the lower lid up with the q tip. Good luck !
Thanks for the reply: ) I started pulling it up with the Qtip and they are almost even. After researching, it seems that the when the car tissue starts to form, it may cause some issues with the schlera showing. Anyway, your eyes look great. Gorgeous!
Ooops, I meant scar tissue. : )
The results look amazing to me.I hope in time you will come to realize how good the results are
I had exatly the same done as you in Jan 2017 and they are only just beginning to look normal. The bump under your eye (i would say) is fat as that is what i have under mine. When i smile my right eye still doesnt close and i still have more white showing on that eye. I had it done in Egypt and when i go back in November, the doc said "come back I fix for you"
Would i....? Not a chance in hell. I can hide it with makeup but cant gi anywhere without it as both eyes look a mess. I obviously didnt pay as much as you but wouldnt let him touch my face again even if it was free( which it probably would be) I had a chin lift and facelift at the same time and am reasonably pleased with those. If I let anyone touch my eyes again he would have to be a specialist in eye fat transfere. Good luck x
Good luck finding one that really is good as they claim! Lol it is what it is I suppose. I am feeling the same way. At least your doctor would fix it for free and not try to sell you laser treatments or thousands. That was terrible. I won't go back.
I think I am just going to leave
well alone and try and live life
without keep
looking and
critisising
myself, but
god, its hard. I
want botox on
my forehead
but am scared
now that they
wont be able to
do that right
and i'll end up
with one eye
higher than the
other or
something lol.
Why cant we
just be content
(like lots of
women i know)
with ourselves
? Why, because
we are vain
and want to
look our best
and the rest
are complacent
and dont care
anyway. Oh to find the elixir of youth lol x

I was so sorry to hear that you weren't happy with your surgery. I think you look beautiful.

Ask questions
I am not unhappy that I had this surgery. I am unhappy that I did not discuss imperfect results and if he would cover revision or adjustment if needed after the surgery. I had my nose done when I was younger, and it was uneven. The surgeon only charged me for the facility fee to correct it so that I was happy. I just assumed they would all o this. When offered to get laser to make my eyes look better, he was quoting me thousands of dollars after I had just paid almost 5,000.00 a few months prior. Ask questions if you see him about touch ups if needed!

Hi.I have had a full face lift with a neck lift and upper and lower eyelids and browlift.Like you I was secretly hoping it would be absolutely perfect.In reality it isn't quite but it is far better.What you have had done is a major improvement and although it seems to you that your eyes are spoiling the effect actually nobody looking at you would ever notice let alone think it makes you look less attractive.Everybodys face is asymetrical.Eyebags though do make us look less attractive sometimes.It's best to try to focus on how good you look and not just see the details you don't like.I hope you feel better soon.David
Thank you so much!
thank you for sharing your journey, a filler might be a good next opption to help even everything out , And yes your doctor should of offered you free lazer to make your eyes better .
I agree. And free filler at least one time. Thank you
