I would like to add more before Dr. Taban’s surgery pics. And more after Dr. Taban’s surgery pics.

Response from Dr. Taban:
You had very difficult complex lower eyelid problems including lower eyelid retraction and scar lumps from unsuccessful prior fat injection and lower eyelid transcutaneous blepharoplasty (by other surgeons). We definitely treated the lower eyelid retraction using skin graft and removed the scar lumps. As discussed before, skin graft is not a perfect match and it takes a year to heal. Please continue to followup as necessary.

10 months after surgery
Please check my previous review of Dr. Taban,
He said the lid would get better, but the sharp is still totally imbalance more than before the surgery. Time can help the skin grafting’s colour but not the shape and the ugly scar line.
I consulted other doctors and they said the skin grafting from Dr. Taban is ridiculous and not essential. Doctor explained that Dr. Taban sewed my eye’s corner making the shape changed permanently, It couldn’t go back.
And the most shameless thing is, I just find Dr. Taban using my picture to promote his business in YouTube but I can tell you all the result is not truth and misleading. In video, he just show you he took 10% lump and he thinks the job was done successfully. The truth is, it couldn’t help any.
Why doesn’t he shows the “perfect “ skin grafting job in video also?

omg your eye graft dont even match the color of your face. i pray that in 12 months like dr taban writes it will get better.
i would go see dr steinseper in LA. he appears to be a very good doctor
thank you for sharing your story. i'd like to tell you, you are a handsome young man. please don't be so hard on yourself. it doesn't bring anything but grief.
Agreed! You are still very handsome.
Thanks for an honest review!
It's sad that went a patient has unsatisfactory reviews, the doctors first recourse is to blame the patient and his 'difficult complex problem'
I hope this heals and you find a doctor that is able to improve the lock of it for you!!

I can see that the scar is looking better. It is fading more.
ORIGINAL POST
photos updated
As too many users messaged me, they couldnt check photos, so I updated and add more here.
Dr. taban said "We definitely treated the lower eyelid retraction using skin graft and removed the scar lumps", I cant believe he can keep saying this BS.
I was trying to self-deception I will be better, but I know my body, do you think it gonna 80% same with left eye after 1 year? its just a tricky thing when the doctor failed his job and convince patient keep waiting. (I can send you processing photos like 1 ~3 week1~3 month if you want)
Photos told truth, welcome to judge, I don't want to show my ugly face here after surgery but I have to warn somebody. I am not going to stop you guys, but something cant go back. Think clearly. He is really good at marketing but he didnt check me thoughtfully.
I paid more than 10k and the result like this, I am very regret.
I wish I could pay more 10k if I can go back. my eye is rigid, and more tight, more puffy.
I am willing to give more details if you like to know, just message me.

omg, im sorry to say but your eye with the nasty scar looks worse !!! i only pray that Taban is right and it will go away after a year but if you are saying its 8 months now and looks this way. i am so sorry for you, i know how you were feeling when you get botched and you look for hope and you dont get fixed, you just dont want to live anymore, nothing is important, you live in your own little cocoon. it is a life no one should have to live.
You need more time to heal if it doesnt improve go back to dr taban! Im confident he can make it better! He did wonders with my eyes! Remember if at first dont succeed try again! Dont give up!
Mind sharing before and after photos? All these reviews so glowing but no one posts their photos.
My before and after photos are on my review
Awe. i am so sorry to hear and see your results. It is late now to say you should have .. but it is most important to get two or even three consultations if time permits. I have my lower eyelids done and i could not be more happier. As said, we are all different but you best not sit and ponder this out coming but decide to make a change so you feel better about it all. If you lived in vancouver, bc i would totally suggest Thomas Buonassisi, MD
Vancouver Facial Plastic Surgeon. You are young and your skin is very supple, receptive to change and should have good healing abilities. All the best.

hope he fixes it for free!
I can see how the scar is bigger but your eyes are more symmetrical now size wise. Before surgery your right eye is bigger then left,looks like it used to be pulled down, now they are the same size , and the lid under your eye more symmetrical with the other eye. So if the scar heals with time and get more flat it might look very good.
