Devastating Results

kalnd
I was operated on 7 months ago and received very disappointing results. My under eyes are worse than before. They are puffier and there's now an indent running under in the middle of each bag that gives me a double eye bag effect. The puffiness blocks my vision when I look down and my field of vision has been reduced.
One of the reasons I went to him was because I was told he would perform in a way so that there would be no scarring. Sadly I now have indented scar from where the stitches were placed. He said he has never had this problem before, but there was another review that has now disappeared that talked about being left with bad results and scars.
Dr. Vrcek offered to redo the surgery but I don't feel comfortable redoing it with him given how devastating my results have been. I wish I had gone to a plastic surgeon instead of a cosmetic surgeon.

Did you end up getting it fixed? If so, can you recommend with who? I may just be in the same boat as you. :(

I had surgery with him a few months ago and am absolutely miserable!

Hello,
I’m so sorry you had bad results. I’m starting to research doctors now but am also learning there are a lot of different techniques so I’m trying to understand which ones are giving people the most problems. Can I ask what he performed on you that gave you bad results? Did you have fat repositioning or fat pad removal? Any fat grafting to the area? Any info would be super helpful! Thanks!

I had fat repositioning, no grafting

Can I ask what went wrong with the repositioning? So many people are saying it’s the “gold standard” of lower blepharoasty now but I’m starting to hear a lot of issues/poor results with that technique.

I wasn't told what went wrong I don't think the surgeon knew

My apologies. I mean what issues are you experiencing from the surgery? Retraction of eyelid? Lumps from fat transfer? Swollenness? Thank you.
