WORTH IT$11,000
Dr Fante is a master but still had a complex job of reconstructing my disfigured features after I initially entrusted my face to an unethical quasi surgeon. I feel lucky and will always feel grateful to Dr Fante for reconstructing my eyelids after going through horrors of facing an unfamiliar, unhealthy, and ugly reflection in the mirror on a daily basis.
Dr Fante had to repair ptosis which developed following the first surgery, upper eyelid excision to get rid of crude and uneven incision lines and scaring, and collapsed orbital structure. He also needed to reshape the natural contour of my eyes which was obliterated by the first surgeon.
Dr Fante is one of the few oculoplastic surgeons in the country who is highly unlikely to fail a client. He is progressive, highly skilled- a few decades in his specialty, his results are consistent, he is a natural aesthete, he has complexities of facial anatomy in his little finger. He works with authority and confidence, and no vanity. Of course, his intelligence, kindness, and objectivity were also much appreciated.
Anything I might add about Dr Fante would be in superlative.

Thank you for sharing your pics and story. I had a difficult year recovering from an eyelid surgery. I also went thru a very difficult time healing in front of everyone. I can only get ready in natural light as indoor light makes it worse and is upsetting. Things still don't look quite right and I may go in for a consultation.

You look wonderful! Beautiful eyes. I also had a very disappointing eyelid surgery and ill-advised “direct” brow lift a year ago, leaving me with a tremendous amount of scarring, both external and internal. I know that feeling of hating what you see when you look in the mirror and the whole host of emotions that you go through when something like this happens. I am in the process of researching surgeons for revision and it’s been very time-consuming, emotionally exhausting, and difficult to find someone and trust again. I think I may have finally found “the one” to help me get my results closer to what I had been promised and envisioned. I’m so happy you found the right doctor for you and you look wonderful, and more importantly, happy! Much love to you.

Thanks you so much for your review. I had eyelid surgery a month ago which was totally botched and left me with ptosis in one eye, too low of a lower lid so too much white shows, and a couple of other problems. I did not know where to turn to do the repair surgery, which obviously needs an expert. You are the only review that I found where someone has ptosis as a result of a previous surgery. I am on the east coast, but will consider coming to Denver to Dr. Fante. Thank you again for your review.
Thanks for sharing your revision story and for posting pics!
