Lower skin pinch bleph nightmare!

I guess these pictures must be ‘before’ because I can’t imagine how they could be any more gorgeous. Do you have any ‘after’ pics?
The pics are deceitful. The second is after. There is huge difference in real life. I’m praying and believing in God for a miracle.
A slight difference in eyes shape can make a bid impact on overall facial harmony as can fat transfer to cheeks which I had...it’s awful too. And, especially, when I smile it makes hollowing under eyes, wrinkles and crepey skin look worse now.. And, fat makes face look odd and too big especially for my petite frame. The skin under eyes is very thin now, too. Horrible ordeal!
These last few months has caused so much stress that I’m sprouting gray hairs like crazy! Myself and my family and friends are praying that I get relief and restoration. I’ve had to see therapist for this as well. My suggestion is. that if somebody is considering this procedure they go to a occplasric surgeon only.
And, where did all the other comments go that was on here??!!! All I’m seeing are positive feedbacks! Strange
Because there is literally nothing wrong with your eyes in these photos. They also look pretty identical, and I didn't realise one was "before" and another was "after".
Might want to get a picture which better shows the problem?

Mahan I can understand . I am in same situation.
No miracle is going to happen.
I'm praying for you as well!! I would hope that comments weren't removed.
If these are your “ after” pictures I don’t see a problem. Your eyes are beautiful.
The firs is before the second is after. And, believe me the man made a huge difference....but what man messed with God ca restore!
No idea how your eyes looked before, or how they could possibly look better, as I could die for those lower eyelids you have which look 100% perfect to me.
Maybe it's more distressing because it's different and not an improvement from what you had, but your lower eyelids are objectively flawless from what I can see.

You seem like such a sweet person, and I am so sorry you are suffering. Objectively, from these two photos, I just don't see a problem. You have beautiful skin and kind, beautiful eyes. Maybe I don't have enough information to judge this well; however, I think you looked great both before and after, with very little difference. Sometimes we see ourselves differently than others see us and become our own worst critic. I hope you can find peace and enjoy the holidays with family, confident that they love you for who you are on the inside, regardless of how you perceive your outside appearance.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Objectively there is a huge difference. Pics don’t show especially of just one eye. But, whole face pics do, however, I’m uncomfortable w/posing those. I choose to see them “subjectively” as restored to their former glory or, otherwise I’d go crazy! I have not given up hope.
I think you look great. I understand though how you feel I had bleph one year ago and my eyes look smaller and. Look older. Thick incision lines too. Never again!
So sorry for you! My regret of ever doing this unnecessary procedures haunts me!!! I’m a Christian as big believer in the creative restorative power of God so in that I have faith and hope.
I.. I don't think "God" does revision surgery, so if you're hoping for any changes this far out from surgery, you need to see another surgeon.
That being said, I think you're being way too hard on yourself, so be careful not to mess things up in even further.
It's hard to "fix" something that's pretty darn perfect to begin with without the risk outweighing the potential "benefit", and I believe that's what happened with you the first time.
Your eyes really look great, and I'd trade with you in a heartbeat.

Well God can do anything..He is “the great physician.” And they are looking better everyday! I completely understand of risks vs benefits. Firstly, I should’ve agreed to disagree on having the small amount of redundant skin removed. My choice and it was simply wrong for me to be all too eager for perfection. I ultimately am to blame. Secondly, I know the surgeon meant well and in his defense, my eyes looked great at first. It was somewhere in the healing process that things started going wrong. I think possibly due to occlar allergies and swelling from he allergies that resulted in unfavorable healing. I appreciate your compliment...thank you ....I am blessed to have beautiful functioning eyes.
Also, let me add that the Dr. did say he could perform cantopexy to fix the blunting at lateral corners. So, something maybe to consider. He was very concerned about my dissatisfaction and did not make me feel as though I was crazy and seeing something that wasnt adequate. Also, he did necklift which he did do good job on
And, my moms friend which he has done multiple procedures as well as many of her friends have been very pleased. He has a good repuation.
I just didn’t need anything done invasively in hindsight. I think if I had only had neck done I’d be satisfied at this point and living life normally still.
I didn’t necessarily need neck done yet...wasn’t that bad but that’s what I initially saw him for. So, therefore should’ve stuck w/initial game plan... if at all anything.
Do not go for canthopexy
I had the same thing happen with my bleph. Wish I had not done it. My scars are very obvious. My surgeon did not do a good job.

Lower skinpinch bleph nightmare!
My eyes were big bright and beautiful my best feature with exception to a “little’ redundant skin underneath. Dr. Recommended just a “little” skinpinch..made it sound so easy peasey. I Should’ve asked a ton of questions. Also, he should’ve discussed all possible complications. He made a comment about my eyes being wrap around eyes...yeah and I loved it ..now that’s gone!!!! I was having another procedure done so consented. My mom’s friend has had multiple procedures with this Dr. . However, no under eye work but did have nice upper bleph. Because of how great she looks I totally trusted him...Biggest most stupid mistake of my life! I should’ve done my homework first on removal of skin under eyes. I would’ve went for non-invasive procedure but definitely “NO SURGERY!” Dr. should’ve offered non invasive for the small bit of skin I had...not as profitable though, I’m guessing...I’m beside myself! Now i’m hollowed underneath w/thin crinkled, wrinkly skin and eyes that appear smaller. So ugly looking! It added 5- 10 years!! Silly me I thought the goal of plastic surgery was for enhancement. Boy did I ever learn the hard way that you play rush and roulette when you play with plastic surgery. After all, the Drs are people too who make mistakes at times. I know that they aim to please; however, there are so many negative variables that can happen. I am embarrassed, ashamed and depressed. I barely leave my house. I have great supportive loving family and friends, however, it’s been really hard on them seeing me so low...I’ m a totally different person now. I’m not even looking forward to holidays. I’m scared to see extended family who haven’t seen me since the surgery. Also, I have started therapy w/a great Christian counselor. I’m praying constantly for God to restore them back. He’s my only hope!!!!
It has been 6 months and I hope and pray that no more negative changes will occur moving forward.
Please people stay away from this procedure if at all possible!
I’d rather have huge bags and lots of redundant skin compared to what I have now!!!

Can you show before and after pics ?
Hi, are you considering the procedure?
I’m trying to figure out how to put pics on here.
I don’t know either . It makes me sad that an operation which everyone says is easy and takes years off could give you such grief and to the point of changing your life !
Send pictures to Real Self and tell them with what review and they will do it from there.
Just be careful in whatever you choose to do. Smart to be doing your research. For every one bad there are probably 10 good, But, if you are that one bad it can be life altering! Unless you have a huge problem be open to non invasive procedures. Try the minimalist approach first and work your way up from there.
Ok, thanks
Just saw this... yes it’s a shame! And, I’m going through a divorce..found out husband of 22 years was cheating w/a 14 year younger lady over seas where he had been working. Now she is over here living w/him. So, this whole surgery scenario couldn’t have come at a worse time. I was feeling insecure from his affair w/younger woman and thought the plastic surgery would give me an edge.. HA NOT!!!!
How horrible ! What happened with your bleph ?
Me in same situation. Her every word looks my word. Ah
Yes
I don’t know your condition, of course, but, I can tell you, if at all possible, don’t have transcutaneous procedure!!!!!
It’s really hard to tell from my pics. But My eye,..pun intended..hones right in on it!
That’s on the outside right ?
Yes it is
I serusoly thought all the weird looking celebs that had obviously had eye work done were that way from upper eye bleph...which can happen but,most often the lower is what’s can be bad and distort& misshapen.
I have heard good and bad for both. The surgery which involves going inside is better for younger people with good skin. The outside is preferred for older people. I wish I could see your photos , it may be just a waiting situation. Can you send them to me privately?
Right, makes sense. However, the inner one does not address skin. I guess younger doesn’t have much issue with excess skin...I’m 49 but use to pass for 36-40. My redundant skin was hardly anything,
As a matter of fact, I realize now that was needed there to fill in,, now it’s hollow!!! ...I’m going through divorce/ mid life crisis ughh and lost all common sense...The thing that gets to me is I almost said no to the eyes at the last moment because I had a couple of plasma pen treatments a month prior which had tightened some. But, I had already paid so thought what the heck why not! I now know, thats the wrong attitude when putting your face in somebody else’s hands even a Board certified plastic surgeon’s hands. And, especially when I didnt even need it in first place.. Dr.:s are also salesmen...I’m so mad at myself and the Dr!!!!!
I can send pics. But, I don’t think you’ll be able to see what I’m talking about. But, believe me there is a difference. People tell me now that I look tired. The lady who does Botox commented about the wrinkling under my eyes. She did not know I had an eye procedure. . She has seen me for the last 12 years and never mentioned anything about wrinkles or redundant skin before but, what do you know ??!!! Now after the skinpinch bleph she makes comment on wrinkles under eyes and said I should consider CO 2 laser... wow just wow...geeeez!!!
I seriously cry almost every day! It’s really sad!! Thank God he gives me strength to get through!!!
I also had big beautiful eyes that everyone complimented. No longer. For some unknown reason i let a dr convince me to just pinch outer corners of eyes, now my eyes are not only asymmetrical but little squints with hollow upper lids, i look terrible and has added years to my face. So my very best and probably only good facial feature gone for good. The NY dr also a quack, i should have known better or checked with other docs, i dont think any other doc in the world would have performed that procedure on me.
I’m so sorry for you!!! I can totally relate to you! My eyes were definitely my best feature!! I cry like maleficentl losing her wings...don’t know if you’ve seen it but it’s a deep grieving loss of a cry! Some Dr.s are just to quick to sale their services to women who they know don’t need it! How long ago was the procedure?
I’ve been so stressed over this that I’ve had other physical changes happening. Also, lost my dad 2 weeks after the surgery that has contributed to it all.
I’ll be praying for you along w/myself insurgentes.

Have you seen any other dr.’s for a possibly revision? Usually most docs want you to be at least a year out post op.
