Dr. Adam Schieiner ruined my face. I had a slightly low eye puffiness, could've lived with it but unfortunately saw his commercial on TV. I then paid four times as much as he advertised, had festoon removal with him in Feb. 2015.

My life has since gone to a nightmare. I couldn't get out home without a sunglass on even at night for 6 months, 12 month fighting with puffiness and redness and winkles, now what I'm dealing with is permanent puffiness, pigmentation, discoloration, and skin sensitivity. My outer eye corners terribly dropped due to the surgery. Water pills don't work anymore, can't use fillers anymore either since it immediately stimulates the puffiness. I aged 10+ years since after the surgery, and my skin is permanently ruined.

I could've hired a lawyer and sue him, but after experiencing so much pain I need to distract myself from this and focus on the bright side in life and move on. I decide to write this to warn other women who might be fooled by his TV advertisement and trapped by his surgery. He can't be trusted, he would recommend you the surgeries that you don't need at all, and they ruined my face permanently.

P.S. Below is how much they charged me, I eventually paid more than this,

Bi-Lateral Lower Lid Blepharoplasty $6875.
Bi-Lateral Lower Lid Resurfacing
Bi-Lateral Canthopexy
Post op Kit (includes Zo Multi-Therapy)
Facility Fee$1265.
Local Anesthesia $450.
Vitrase, prior to surgery$1500.

I am so sorry that has happened to you. I hope your emotional pain will lessen so you can move on.

He is not certified by the ABPS or by the ABFPRS, nor did he do his "fellowship" through ASOPRS. He is not even a member of ASOPRS! He may have certifications from non-plastic-surgery medicine boards, but he still has *no business doing anybody's eyelids.

I'm so sorry this happened to you! Dr. Scheiner ruined my face, too. If you ever want to private message me, I'm here.

I had a similar experience. I am two years post procedure and still cry myself to sleep at night for choosing to undergo this procedure. My face is ruined.

I am so sorry you all had such a terrible experience. It must feel devastating. Would any of you be willing to share photos or more detailed info on exactly what happened? I was just about to schedule a procedure, I'm so glad I found these reviews before I did. Wishing you all inner and outer healing.
