Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty

Does everyone have a scar in outer corners from lower lid surgery, and knew they would, so accept? When I researched this surgery I never read anything about that, and still never see anything.

My doctor told me there would only be an incision under lashes. NEVER once mentioned a scar extending 1/4 inch from outer corners. Do they intentionally not divulge this info so you'll do the surgery? One year later and they are still white and I'm very self conscious of them. Will this ever fade enough that I feel comfortable not wearing makeup?

I also have vertical creases in each outer corner. Almost looks like webbing when I raise my brow.

My doctor recommended this to smooth out wrinkles. I didn't have any fat pockets. We never discussed removing fat. I thought he was doing a skin pinch. Now my wrinkles are deeper because he removed fat.

ONE YEAR LATER AND I REGRET THE SURGERY EVEN MORE. (I got frustrated and removed all my photos a few months ago.)

It's difficult not to focus on it and so easy to blame the surgery. The photos we take are not 3 dimensional, the lighting also plays a big part, and I've take photos with camera and smartphone that look completely different. You can go crazy comparing photos!

I think it's time to stop. I do indeed regret doing the lowers because it didn't really do anything and I now have scars (that you can barely see, but I can). However I sometimes convince myself the wrinkles ARE slightly smoother when not smiling.

I still love my uppers though!

There are so many people on here that have had truly bad experiences and I feel so sad for them. It's not always a simple surgery. No more complaining from me. I had the surgery and I'm going to have scars and I am going to see slight differences - end of story.

I'm uploading a photo taken last year smiling as well as one taken last week smiling, sort of at the same angle. I have the same indention under left eye, it's not from fat removal like I convinced myself it was. I don't expect to look the same 1 year later either.. I'm 2 years shy of 50!

and still wishing I hadn't done the lower. For anyone looking to just smooth out wrinkles, here's a photo of how it doesn't work. Now have to live with scars. I still have a darker scar under right and tiny raised white scar outer corner of left. The outer corner of right is just a raised white dot that I'm sure will disappear. Not so sure about the white line on left. You can't see these in photos though.

Still extremely happy about the uppers though! I finally tried botox for crows feet on 03/07/15. I didn't like my smile with it. The botox kept them from squinting when I smiled and it just didn't look right. Already wearing off too but I'm glad.

I did confirm he removed a little fat under the eye. I'm still trying to accept that, as we never discussed prior to surgery. Nothing I can do about it now.
