WORTH IT
In 2013 I had reconstruction surgery for eyelid retraction and to correct a problem I had with closing my eyes when sleeping. This surgery was performed by a reputable oculoplastic surgeon at a highly notable eye center facility. Unfortunately, the surgery left me with disfiguring ectropion. I was much worse than before surgery. For years I was ashamed to go out in public because of they way I looked. It took three long reclusive years for me to gather the nerve and confidence to go under the knife again.
After much research, I decided to consult with two different doctors in LA. (Thank goodness, I consulted with two - otherwise, I would have wasted a lot of time and money traveling this distance). The first oculoplastic surgeon I consulted was rude, arrogant and condescending and offered little to no hope in correcting my problem. I left his office feeling absolutely hopeless and afraid I would always look and feel this way. My second consult was with Dr. Guy Massry. Funny, when Dr. Massry walked into the office with his blue scrubs on I thought he was an office assistant; not just because of his attire but rather for his down-to-earth, unassuming and disarming manner. He did a thorough examination, showed me pictures of people he had successfully operated on with similar problems and discussed my chances of improvement. He would only promise me a 30% - 50% improvement. I decided I would gladly take even a 30% improvement rate. Funny, my biggest concern after scheduling a date for surgery was the fact that I lived so far away. By plane, it's easily 4-5 hours. Dr. Massry assured me he would, in his own words, "nurse me through he healing phase." He gave me his cell phone number and asked I call him anytime. Which I did. And, every phone call was promptly returned by Dr. Massry himself - not his nurse!
Well, I could go on and on about the wonderful things this doctor does for his patients, but let me finish by saying, my eyes look 75% - 100% better than before. God has truly blessed this man with tremendous skills and talent as a surgeon along with the compassion, empathy and desire to make a difference in the lives of others. Thank you, Dr. Massry! p.s. Don't tell my husband, but I think I love you! :)

This is a review I can believe. Thank you for posting.The poster has numerous posts, questions, etc. A true patient that is going through a struggle and is getting revision surgery, would have numberous inquires, like this patient. Not the one hit wonders who post a glowing review about a revision, and that is their only activity on the site.
I am currently searching for an oculofacial PS to reconstruct my lower lids thanks to a botched surgery from my original facial plastic surgeon. I'm left with bi-lateral lower lid retraction and chemosis.
A review like this is very helpful. Even though I live on the opposite coast, I would consider Dr Massery

I’m so glad to hear you got this resolved finally!! I know it’s hard after a bad result, not just living with the bad results, but trying to find another surgeon to fix it!! I’d like to know who did the brow lift you reviewed in Huntsville. That scares me so much!! I had my eyes done by a plastic surgeon in Huntsville and he did mention a brow lift in the beginning but I didn’t hunk I needed it based on pics of me in my 20s. Would you be willing to private message me the name of the surgeon in Huntsville??

I love your review!
What happened with brow lift? Brow reverse?
After your eyes were fixed it helped your brow lift look alittle more” normal “?
