Worst Decision of my Life

Worst Decision of my Life
I wish so much I could rewind time and not have this procedure done by this man.
I had upper blepharoplasty and explained that I don’t want to look different, I wanted my right eye that had more hooding that my left to match. I adored my eyes. They were my favourite feature about myself.
I originally went in to have just my right eye operated on, he persuaded me to have both done due to symmetry, seeing as this is the reason I was having it done in the first place, I trusted him.
I was wrong to. He didn’t take a little bit of skin as requested to even them out, he took all skin and fat in my upper eyelids, giving a hollow and aged appearance. Completely changing my naturally almond shape eyes to round and enlarged looking.
I look completely different. One eye was stitched so badly that I now have raised scarring, uneven scarring and a double fold/crease. From reading other reviews, I believe he allows inexperienced surgeons to practise on patients with him as he makes you sign something saying you are having for other people to work on you - I assumed this meant nurses assisting him. He also cut the muscles in my eyes which he stated on the medical report, this means I now have muscle tightness, muscle spasms, more intense and frequent headaches, almost every day, a grit feeling in my eyes, I’m unable to close my eye properly without squeezing tight due to how much skin has been taken off and in overall discomfort and pain every single day. I believe my eyes don’t close at night which is why I have the grit feeling in my eyes as they are chronically dry and therefore I have developed pinguecula.
This has affected my mental health like nothing I have ever experienced before. I don’t recognise myself, I’m in pain and I regret this decision so much.
I’ve been to a few surgeons who have said skin grafts are recommended but this will not be aesthetic. My life as I know it has been ruined.
I’ve been signed off work for months and had to resort to therapy to try and help. When I told this to the doctor, he had zero empathy at all. His response was “you booked an upper blepharoplasty so you got an upper blepharoplasty”. Not once did I ever request for all of my eyelid skin to be taken off let alone any muscles cut.
His only offer was to “cut out the scar” from my eye, as if I haven’t already had enough skin cut out.
Please avoid this man.
