I really needed this. Ever since I was a child, I had a bunch of issues with my eyes. I had 2 procedures with Dr Taban. He's the greatest surgeon!

I needed orbital decompression on my right eye because it was bulging out more. After this, I saw improvement, and felt very grateful and much better. But I still needed something a bit more to remove the whites underneath my eyes. So I needed lower eyelid retraction repair to have better looking eyes. I'm still recovering, but I can see the improvements and Dr Taban is very optimistic. I feel very safe with him and my recovery is going painless so far. I can only expect good things to come.

Dr Taban has great bedside manners and most importantly he can get you the right results. He's also very humble and has a tendency to tell you that he can improve your situation, but he definitely over delivers. He's a very skilled surgeon and I highly recommend him.

I am currently about three weeks into recovery after lower lid retraction repair by Dr Taban. I think you'll be looking and feeling MUCH better in another week or so. Hang in there and take especially good care of yourself in the early stages ost-op! I agree completely with your comments about Dr Taban. Highly recommended.

Hi WindowsOpen, how is the recovery? Do you need alloderm for this repair?

What are the bandages over your eyes for? Is that from the eyelid retraction?

Not too happy

Did not turn out as well as I had hoped. Attached are some after pics. As you can see, my right eye is larger than the left.

This doctor is not as good as RealSelf gives him credit for.

I've seen him in person and he insists the lift went well. He admits no mistake on his part and tried to tell me that the left eyelid needs a lift. I even tried reaching out to him and I've got no responses yet. Its been 2 days. Before, he'd respond within the hour.

In the photo you posted, it looks like the right lower lid is in a good position and the left lower eyelid looks too low.

How are you doing?
I just had my consult with him now I’m nervous.

I think it can be easily fixed by lifting the left lower eyelid so your eyes will be even

Not worth it at all.

I'd stay away from this doctor. He's not worth the hype. I'm going to go and check out other doctors to fix this.

I've tried contacting Taban's office through phone and email and I'm being ignored. I've been on my best behavior, but now I'm really furious. For the amount of money I spent, this is totally unacceptable. Revisions for this are starting at $7000 at other clinics.
