Sad Eye

Sorry this happened to you. I feel your pain. Can anyone in California help you?

My original lower lid lift did the same thing and I have gone to 3 different ocuplastic surgeons and not one of them can fix this even though they take your money and say they can fix it. I read not too long ago Korea have doctors (Dr. Park in something like gnuang-gum city, it is spelled wrong but close), near Seoul can do magic, he works on the top Korean celebrities there in Cinderella Clinic, watched a few Youtube videos that people from other countries including USA folks had worked done by him and not one of them had a bad experience (also a Dr. Lee in Seoul itself). They do heavy stuff like cranial changes and such so our problem will be a piece of cake. I plan to go next year when the country will be able to have our product Mimedx “Amniofix” the doctors will be able to use so it speeds up healing so scar tissue will be at a minimum. This stuff cuts the inflammation way down and makes the surgeries heal super fast. Scar tissue is the problem. It has been out since 2011 but not so much on plastic surgery so 90% of the USA plastic docs have no clue about it. It is amazing what it does for keloid scars. It grows hair, tons of things, it is supposed to replace stem cell treatment. Do not let anyone use Kenalog or other steroids on you, it changes the color of the skin to dark. I did read about 5fu will work on new scar tissue as it is healing (FYI, normal people make scar tissue called fibroblasts for 72 hours, mine goes on for 3 WEEKS!) there are 2 others that work with 5FU, read that on the ncbi medical journal studies site. There is a couple of guys working on scar tissue plan in Tyler, TX that is promising but between FDA approving it will be 10-15 years before that one is available so 5fu (off label use) and this Mimedx Amniofix/Epifix (Epifix is for skin surface, liquid and powder) is our only hope if we make too much scar tissue...have one eye smaller than the other now since my lower lid surgeries & never got better 3x surgeries after the original, Dr. Taban said he could fix for $16,000 but I have heard that one as well...Korea can fix us later on end of this year when they get this drug approved in about 5-7 months approximately. Good luck!

Your eyes are still hypnotically beautiful, if that is any consulation.

Go see Dr Taban!

Sad eyes, you have beautiful eyes. I read the question you asked the doctors and it surprised me that three very reputable oculoplastic surgeons replied (doctor S, Taban and another one) none of them mentioned lower eyelid retraction but upper eyelid ptosis. Maybe that is the real problem, I think that ptosis is easier to fix, I’m not sure. In any case I wish you the best.

Cant wait to see the dr

Hello sorry for what you have gone through, so you don't recommend this revision? I also have retraction after a botched job and too afraid of another surgery,it appears that earlier you were happy by the results, what happened that made you feel like this did the retraction returns please DM some photos you can help a lot
