Not a Disaster but Not Good Either

First, I want to thank the thousands of happy patients of mine that have sent notes, e-mail, internet reviews regarding their satisfaction with their surgery. I take immense pride in delivering the highest quality results, as most of my patients are well aware of the significant amount of time that I spend with them to understand their desires and discuss their options and can deliver on these recommendations nearly 100% of the time.  I spend a lot of time with surgical planning and with patient care before and after surgery to maintain not only an excellent surgical result but a good relationship with my patients as many of them can gladly attest to.  On rare occasions, surgery does not meet the expectations of my valued patients and I always take full responsibility to correct any concerns of these patients that are usually quite simple in-office correction.  There are several inaccuracies in the description here that should be mentioned.  First, I generally do not use “self-dissolving stitches” nor have I written an article about this specific topic (despite the hundreds of peer-reviewed articles that I have authored as a pioneer, authority, and internationally recognized expert in cosmetic oculoplastic surgery). Second, one of my many articles discusses Asian Blepharoplasty and urges fellow surgeons to maintain the eyelid shape and ethnicity in most situations unless the patient insists on a change.  What seems to be apparent here is a miscommunication and disconnect here and I would be happy to rectify this situation if this patient would call my office to schedule an appointment to see me.

Same exact thing happened to me! He totally overdid me then gaslit me after when I tried to tell him about my concerns. He removed all the fat from my eyelids and hollowed me out…adding years to my look. I am so angry with myself for even agreeing to uppers as I initially only consulted for lowers but he talked me into it.

Oh and I forgot to mention now I don’t even have an upper eyelid crease.

Thanks for your bravery to say something... So sorry you went through this too. Hopefully speaking up will help other people. Same with me on the hollowing - a much older look on a younger person. Other doctors have remarked now that it was over corrected. Anyone considering this doctor, please bring a friend with you to the consult and insist on many before/after photos and exact explanation how you will look. And go see other doctors too - there are many newer techniques out there that I wish I had known about back then and follow them on Intagram for a good long while to see if you like that astetic.
