Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

6 weeks post op
Hi everyone!
There is slow but sure progress! I am excepting my eyes more now but still find myself finding problems...maybe i should except that they look better than before! I find myself looking at peoples eye lids all the time and comparing them to mine lol....nuts i know!
I can't look up fully and bright sunlight bothers me, but this has improved week by week so i imagine it will continue to do so.
My right eye will deffo need a revision, it does not crease from midway to outer corner!
Below each brow at outer corner there is like an indentation.....what do you guys think....am i scrutinizing too much??
my left eye or my good eye doesn't look great from the side. Looks like there is too much skin left at outer corner...but when i try to pinch it between my fingers there is not much skin? Maybe i am looking for perfection......which is not what i had b4 so why should i expect it now????
My eyes are not symmetrical, but that maybe because my right eye is not fully open/ creasing....i guess time will tell!
All i know is, i have forgotten how bad my eyes were b4, and when i see the picture i get a shock!

4 weeks
Phew, it's been a hard few weeks, very emotional! I didn't expect the recovery period to be so long, it has taken the best part of 4 weeks to look what i consider presentable!
I have been quite down in the dumps up until a couple of days ago :-/ There are issues with my eyes that have caused me so much worry, partly because i don't know if these things are normal......but after lots of reading on here i now realise much of it is!
1st problem. webbing at inner corners of eyes which has improved and should continue to improve!
2. couldn't look up....that is improving by the day but something i never expected!
3. problems with blurry vision, again not something i expected and for so long....it is almost back to normal now!
4. wonky incision line on right eye which is looking slighty less obvious, but i thought it looked ridiculous!
5. right eye won't crease at outer corner! Where the incision is stitched together, instead of the 2 edges just meeting, they overlap creating a double thickness of skin that will not crease at the moment :-(
6. i never expected this to be so emotional! I hated how i looked.....it was like someone cut out someone else's eyes and stuck em on me! They looked weird, plastic. What made it worse was the fact i went back to work after 3 weeks and i was still very swollen! I had not told a soul and still don't want to....no one else's business really....but it has made it more uncomfortable in a way! The only comments i have had were ' what is it with your eyes' then they both came right up to me for a good look, with a squinty confused look...cheeky gits!!! I felt paranoid!
Anyway thats the update and i am feeling better about the whole thing! The surgeon has said i need to wait and see how the right eye improves over the next month or 2, then we can look at revising it.
Hope everyone else is ok and doing well :-)
