Upper and Lower Bleph "Eye Lid Surgery" -Fort Lauderdale, FL

Hi Abby, i had the revision on Jan 20, 2014 and the pictures where take Feb 24, 2014 so 1 month and 2 days later.

Thank you for the update on your revision. You look very pretty. Its good to hear that you are happy with your results. Many Blessings.

Hi! Thank you! Yes Doc did work with me. The revision was at not charge thank goodness because I spent a bit much making arrangements to make this happen again. Doc said the scars will go away in time. I pray that they do. I will keep you posted.

Thank you, yes I'm feeling much better about it and the results now. Hopefully all the scars will go away in the next few months. I hate that I'm a slow healer.

Joejah, I'm sorry I just got this. I missed it some how. I do that often I'm not sure why I don't see all the post/comments all the time. Yes Doctor T did works well with you, he is so nice I hate to say anything negative about him or his work. I also must be true to myself and feelings and post what and how I feel. It is a bit of a conflict for me because of his personality and work ethics. He is a great person. He did his best and went the extra mile to try and pleases me, so in the end I don't know (I think it is) his skill in sewing but it very well could be how I scar and heal. Who knows and I don't know how you find out the truth on something like that. I have decided to continue being patient and wait for 1 complete year of healing before I draw my final conclusion. I will update along the way. Have you had the surgery?

Hi Lisa, I just watched your weight loss video that you uploaded on Youtube in Feb. Wow, you look amazing and your eyes are so beautiful!!! I couldn't tell from your latest eyelid pics if the scars flattened out from your revision. It looks as if this is the case in your video. The final result looks smooth and very natural. It may have taken two surgeries to resolve the problems you had, but in the end, your eyes look amazing! If there is one thing I am avoiding it is the over-corrected look that results from the removal of too much skin and fat. The horrible "doll eye" look with the hollowed out eye sockets is so unattractive to me as it makes a women look older instead of younger. Finding a surgeon who removes just the right amount has been challenging for me. I am definitely going to look into your surgeon further - thanks again for sharing! :)

@Torontochica, Hi and thank you for the wonderful comments! My eyes look much better the second go-round. Am I completely happy? No, or to be fair I will say "No, not yet". The right eye is better than the left which I thought it would be the other way around, so you never know how you will heal. The left eye is still puffy on the bottoms on most days and is up a little higher than the right eye. I still have scarring on both eyes top, bottom and side of eyes. Yes, I think the Doctor (even though I adore him) could improve his sewing technique but then again I don't know if its just me so I'm trying to be a little more understanding because I know he truly did his best the second time around. The scars are not so bad I want to go through it for a third time so I will live with it if they do not go away completely. I just wished if I was going to have scaring he would have put the scars in the fold/crease. So make sure you tell your doctor on the day of surgery put the scars in the crease/fold and on the bottom put them all the way up to the lash line and don't have them wing out as mine are. The people that I see who have those types of lasting scars you can't tell unless they point it out to you when they close their eyes or open them wide and point. My upper lid scars are up above my fold so you can see them when I'm just looking forward if I don't cover them with makeup. ugh! Other than that I feel I look 75% better (would give it 100% if I did not have scarring and left eye puffiness still). Still is is a great improvement and everyone thinks I look sooo much younger and rested now. They all thought I was being ridiculous at first but now when they look back at pictures they understand and say Wow!!!! Good luck and post pictures when your ready. Rock it Right! Lisa

Thank you for the feedback, Lisa. Do you think the infection and complications on your left eye compromised your results? With so many attempts to fix the stitches you have to wonder if this is the reason the eye looks higher after the 2nd surgery (or did it look high after the 1st surgery too?). Did the Dr. re-do both eyes because they both had scar tissue problems? Or did he do both because he wanted to fix the scar tissue on the left lid and was concerned if he didn't do the right lid as well that one eye would end up with more skin removed and look higher? Just so you know, I didn't notice any asymmetry in your video's or see any detectable scar lines anywhere, so from the distance you were filming everything looked very good. I did notice that you have persistent swelling and/or puffiness in your lower lid(s), but it isn't as pronounced as it was before surgery. Have you tried lymphatic facial massage to see if that can help? I can't understand why the surgeon didn't place the incisions in your crease line as this is a standard practice to help hide any scars. Did he miscalculate somehow when he measured your eyes? The techniques he is using remind me of plastic surgeons in Mexico & Malaysia. They tend to extend the incisions beyond the lid margins (like a type of winged line) and cut lower under the eye instead of right next to the lash line. With time I hope your scars fade so much that you can hardly see them anymore. Would I bother with another scar revision if I were you? No, I wouldn't. Your eyes look beautiful in my opinion and I'm not just saying that -- I really mean it. If I didn't know you had surgery I would think you are naturally blessed with attractive youthful eyes. That's how pretty and young they look. When I compare your 'before' pics to your 'after' I can see a huge improvement. I hope to have similar results one day (sans the scar issues of course, lol). Thanks again for sharing! :)

How did your check up go? Who was your serfeon?

Hey Gudepy! I'm glad to hear all went well! I'm anxious to see my Dr. my eyes are not going as well for me (my perspective). I love my Dr. he also is very sweet, considerate and takes the time with you, so I'm praying he skills live up to his reputation. My scars look pretty bad and I'm still swollen a few days over a month now. I'm putting scare away on my scars now every night and that sees to help. Scar Away suppose to flatten, lighten and diminish scars. I hope it works before the second week of Dec. because I don't want to go back to Florida to have more surgery and look horrible for the holidays. I want to go there to enjoy my time with my sweetie. Well keep me post and put some pictures up that really helps others and keeps this site going. I love this site for searching for Dr. and reviews with pictures are the best. TTYL

Having a revision will send me trough the roof. Let's pray all is well with you. I'm believing for you total recovery in Jesus Holy Name.

Happy to hear that your visit went well. I hope your healing continues to get better and better. Thanks for sharing. BLESSINGS!

I think that can be normal for some of us. I am 15 days out now and its still very hard under my left eye where I had more swelling. My Doctor told me to start messaging it in an gentle upward motion. I know it's hard not to worry because I'm doing it every day several times a day when I look in to a mirror. I will give it more time. My eyes are looking much better I just see a few things that still concerns me. Keep us posted and post your story and pictures. I would love to see them.

Thanks. I will. Just don't want to get it open again. I can't go through it all.

I read that a muscle can bend or something like it. Then you will need to be open again to get it check out. How can you tell is something went wrong? That's my main concern going through it again.

Hi gudepy, I have not experienced eye twitching but I do get random sharp shooting pains through the surgery area. I know this is nerve racking for us because as I always say "This is our face we are talking about" we can't hide it so we want it to look it's best. Keep me posted on your progress it seems you and I are slow healers. ;-/

Hi gudepy. Thanks for sharing. Results are looking good already so you should look great when the healing is done. Don't worry about the twitching. It happens even if one doesn't have surgery. I get them on and off. It will go just don't think about it too much!

My left eye is still swollen after 7 months. I'm unhappy but everyone says I look good. No one can understand how I feel.
