I Just Want to Wake Up from This Bad Dream......tried to Give It More Time to Heal Still Looks Bad

mustanggirll
It has been over a year and a half since I made the mistake of laying in that chair to what I didnt know was to ruin my life. This doctor destroyed my face removing way too much skin from my face and pulling my whole face up to the sides of my head. My face is lopsided one side bigger than the other I am in pain everyday feels like bees are stinging my face. There is not a day I wake up and dont cry looking in the mirror or even want to live anymore from the foolish mistake I made thinking i needed plastic surgery on my face. Its like a bad dream. People who see me dont even recognize me and its not in a good way. People are mean and I wish i could take this back but I can not. I just want my eyes and face back my. Word of caution plastic surgery does not always make you more beautiful. Ladies be careful you are beautiful the way you are. The doctor meant well but it didnt turn out for me I shoul have just got fat transfer not rearranged my face or had skin removed. My results are very real and if anyone wants to see pictures I cant provide. Wish my outcome was different or it got better over time and after healing but it didnt it just looks more distorted and worse. I keep trying to give it time to heal and look good but it doesnt.

My Sympathies are with you <3 this world can be tough and that shouldn't happen to anyone, sending big hugs and love your way, your feelings are valid, I know of a good doctor called doctor Gavin Chan in Australia, maybe he can help you? Xxx

Thank you. Its truly horrifying. Havent really left my house in a year and a half. The world is cruel. When people ask me what happened to my eyes and face I tell them who did it and they ask me why i had surgery and it hurts.... I would give anyhing in the world to have my beautiful eyes back. ITs not fair. Such a dumb mistake cost me everything.... I did tell one person I got into a car accident....So sad

Keep searching, maybe you can find corrective surgery somwhere? Maybe you can stretch your skin then have it corrected? X

He removed so much skin from my face unnecessary for my face and age. I want skin put back on

I've been in hospital because of this....mental as well. Every Dr who's seen my face has been like why did you let him do that to you it's bad

I've tried. Every doctor is shocked at what he did. He removed too much skin. No one even recognizes me .

I have and they say too much damage was done and that I never should have had so much skin removed and now I have too much scar tissue and pulled horizontal so ya this is my life very depressing

It's literally not acceptable to look like this in public. It's hard I just get looked at badly everywhere I go. I look like I got in an accident or something. I just want to go back

It's honestly surreal

I’m so sorry,I honestly don’t know how doctors can damage a person and sleep at night . I pray the right doctor crosses your path to help you.

Ya I mean I asked for it.... I shoulda listened to my family who said don't cut your eyes but I didn't so ya. Depressing So far no doctors can help me as they say too much damage was done and you can't put skin back on. So I've become a recluse. Not what I pictured my life being. Thank you for your prayers. Be careful if you decide to get surgery sometimes it doesn't turn out.

Hi, is there any way you can post pictures? Before and after?
September 29, 2020
I'm not really comfortable doing that. Just be careful when cutting your eyes and face I didn't realize how serious it actually was. I had beautiful eyes and so does every other women. Surgery won't make you happy learned the hard way. Facebook memories are the hardest to look at. Reminding me of my old beautiful eyes and face. Trust me focus on something else besides your face. You'll thank yourself later.
