Before botched surgery I never had to wear make up just lipstick as you can see in my pictures before surgery. It was too hard to do my surgery??Besides being greedy opportunistic what else motivates a "surgeon"to even suggest a procedure that he knows before hand client doesn't need for obvious reasons pictures speak for themselves why Dr. lies to patient that it won't be noticeable scar's much less INDENTED SCARS and he has audacity to write in the medical report after surgery , "scars fading nicely"really?? It's been more than 13 years now and the scars are there visible as ever impossible to cover them I was only 40years old I didn't have any single wrinkle around my eyes only mild upper hooded lids. why did he have to scar me for life? And to top it off scleral show which is common on elderly person. One day I was barely40 years old and next-day I look older than50yrs. He never ever inform me that I was going to have indented scars or scleral show. he also performed on me canthopexy without my consent and he wrote in the medical report they he did it because "I wanted elevation of lateral canthal"he was just covering his lack of skill on eyelid surgery. And I was reading his medical notes he contradicts himself when he writes that "I wanted canthopexy" and then in pre-operative diagnosis says descended lower eyelid subsequent to lower blepharoplasty despite canthopexy, he did this procedure to prevent scleral show. They claim I will see inform about all of these risks ectropion scleral show scarring etc. when I ask where was the paper I signed that he says that I was informed about all this no paper at all, why?because I was not informed about it he just wanted my thousands of dollars I spent $14,000 for what? just to be disfigured for life. He also suggested liposuction on my jowls and remove fat from my cheeks without my consent what a miserable man! He performed liposuction on abdomen flanks and back and guess what? he removed more FAT from my LIDS and CHEEKS then my ABDOMEN, FLANKS, BACK or even under JOWLS look @ pictures before and after procedure ones they took in their office. AH! & a picture after liposuction ONLY ONE why??OVIOUS because poor results and he wrote in the medical note large amount of fat removed from abdomen. Hahaha!! Really??

Same indented scars on both eyes more noticeable on my right eyelid where I have the scleral show. Now it looks like I have long wrinkles on the side of my eyes. Now 14yrs later they look more hollow upper and lower now I need fat transfer to them isn't ironic? I just wanted some upper eyelid removed not what he did he was overly aggressive removing fat from my upper lids on the side of the lids and lower lids n he also removed too much skin that's why I end up with scleral show. Oh and he also removed fat from my cheeks without my consent. I was barely 41yrs old at the time of this botched surgery. Sighs, now I need ft to my eyes and face and a facelift. Thank you for asking dear.

All is not lost! See a surgeon that specializes in botched surgeries and specifically focuses on the eye and is Board certified. Examples include Dr. Massry and Dr. Taban in LA. Hope you find your eyes again. I am really sorry this happened to you.

I did went to see both of them n a third one n all three told me that was a very complex surgery n uncertain outcome N that the butcher Eugene Cherney in Iowa removed too much skin and fat around my eyes and the price for only one eye was 12,000 just for the surgery and uncertain outcome, so for the trip and hotel cost it was going to be around 20,000TL and for an uncertain outcome I don't think I want to venture for an experiment I'm not for that anymore. I want an improvement for sure not an iffy outcome. So that's the story of my life I was butchered for the rest of my life by this incompetent "dr." And I'm very sorry myself too that I believe in this charlatan. I didn't want to travel to Mexico because you know what they say you get what you paid for well here it's not my case I paid him thousand of dlls for this botched surgery scleral show and long indented scars on both eyes that can't be covered with nothing. They look like long wrinkles and I was verily 41yrs old my best years. One day I could easily pass for early 30's and next day after this horrible surgery I look like I was in my 50's.

thats bull2345.the doctors in mexico are very comepetent and they would not just EXPERIMENT on us as the doctors in the united states for money only.if i had gone back to my doctor in Guadalajara who was going to reposition the fat bags only i would be fine and not look like a freak and he would have done it for no charge(such a good guy)but i didnt,i wanted to stay local so i went to dr bernardino and he DID experiment on my eyes to PRACTICE his new techniques and left me looking like a freak

Mely Please don't listen to the nasty venom from OneTwoManyDocs. This person does not know anything about revising surgery. I agree with your concerns regarding your surgical outcome. I also think that it is very important to share your experience with others so they have their eyes open in thinking about having surgery.

my dentist is an artist and a gentleman...he is trustworthy and kind... he has a heart as big as the grand canyon. i never met such a good man. but he still struggles at 70 years old ecause he is so good,people take advantage of him. Yves Hoarau. i think that anyone practicing plastic surgery should be tested for artistic ability,otherwise they should not be permitted to practice on anyone at all. Hand them a pencil and ask them to draw a caricature of you. If they cannot then they must go to clown school

ECTROPION on Rt. eye big time! Indented upswing scars on both eyes DUE to lack of skill of "surgeon" even tough it's being 12long yrs scars are, very very noticeable!! Anyone can tell I had eyelid surgery, when all I wanted to have it was more upper lid. I didn't want to have this huge scars that look horrible! I didn't have ANY WRINKLE or scars at all. This terrible experience happened 12yrs ago. It happened because this surgeon didn't have experience on eyelids surgeries. He told me he did had experience. And just to think that I paid to have this done. Unbelievable!

So sorry that you did not get a good outcome. I did search hard and found a surgeon who is 4.5 hours away, wish he was closer, but again how many times am I going to do this? The drive is worth it. Can't wait to get this done so the healing can begin.
