Unfortunately Not Happy with Results/ No Results

My surgery was in 2024 and I can say it was not a good experience. I woke up during the surgery and I was in a lot of pain. They had to keep injecting me to numb me and I feel that the job was rushed because of that.
imagine waking up during surgery. Such a nightmare. when I woke up the doctor immediately asked if I could remember anything from the surgery. He touched above my right eyebrow and asked me “ do you feel something” it’s exactly the side where I have total loss of feeling today. Anyway? When I woke up I immediately went to the mirror . What I saw horrified me. I had 2 total uneven brows! It looked so bad immediately? That I knew it would never come right with time. I was right. I also paid for a fat transfer and it was never performed. I paid a big amount of money for this surgery and I could have performed a full face and neck lift with one of the best doctors in my own country for this amount. Anyway .. the worst is that my nerves are permanently damaged. I lost all sensation above my right eyebrow and on the top of my head. He told me not to worry and that it would return. It never did. I also had terrible complications after the surgery. My one eye swoll up so hard. It was completely shut and it was the side he worked last on when I woke up during surgery. I had to be hospitalized again because of this and it also added thousands of euro’s to my surgery .

On top of that I’m totally uneven. My brows are very crooked today. He offered to do a revision , but I lost all trust in the doctor plus it would cost me so much money again. I would not recommend to go here. It was overal a traumatizing experience . I also had a lot of complications when coming home in my own country. Crazy dizzy spells which made me unwell . Vision issues. I couldn’t see sharp and I feel it caused permanent dryness. Conclusion? I have not only NO result , but a bad result . Even the lipo experience was not great. I was bruised for months on my legs . And the fat was also not transferred to my face .

I want to add. I chose to do a bigger surgery with him after he fixed a minor thing for me when I had a problem from my Turkey surgery. I thought I was in good hands to do a full revision for me. But it went more wrong than any surgery I had. I wanted to clarify this. This whole canthoplasty surgery needs to be reconsidered as a whole by many. So many botched cases have come out of this . It gets sold as an easy procedure with minor scars, but it’s not. It major and look at me.
I have now permanently lost sensation in some parts of my forehead plus on the top of my head. Permanent damage from something so simple apparently. Think again!
