Worst Experience

So very disappointed with Dr. Maloney. Had upper and lower blepharoplasty. On Day 7, my eyes reacted violently (picture attached). I started emailing the office at 5am, scared to death something was wrong, since everything had been fine up until Day 7 morning. I continued to email and text throughout Day 7 and also through the weekend, only to be told over and over, and over, all is normal, see you Monday, day 10. Dr. Maloney was out of town on Day 7, which is when (I now know) my stitches were supposed to be removed. Went to office on Day 10, stitches were ‘stuck’ in corners of eyes, so painfully removed, and had to start healing process over again. I trusted Dr. Maloney with my well being, yes, had I done my research, and known stitches were supposed to be removed 5-7 days (according to his website, and also Real Self comments) I would have SCREAMED to have someone remove them on Day 7. I am now 1 year+ post op and have permanent upper and lower scars.

Maloney Plastic Surgery, Tucson Az. Had upper and lower eyelid surgery, 7 days, puss, redness and swelling. Was told it was normal, he was out of town. Waited 10 days, stitches were STUCK in eyes. I now have permanent severe scarring. Suffered for months after surgery with bright red eyes upper and lower.
