This procedure changed my life forever. I have functional problems with my eyelids and cosmetic problems as well. What I wish I had known before that not all plastic surgeons are skilled at eyelid surgery and to minimize risks, one should only go to an oculoplastic surgeon instead of a general plastic surgeon like Dr. Nesmith.

I am in the process of having to get a skin graft on my left upper eyelid due to the skin that Dr. Nesmith took off. I am unable to close my left upper eyelid and must use cling wrap and use an eye patch with dry eye ointment in it every night. I also am unable to wear any make-up due to the loss of skin. I am left with hollowness as well as too much fat was removed. There is not much else that can be done when too much skin and fat have been removed. If anyone is intent on doing it; please seek an oculoplastic surgeon for this procedure who will take your individual eyes into account and will be conservative with skin and fat removal and not damage the integrity of your eyes.

I had a terrible experience that ruined my life. He took way too much skin off of my upper eyelids and left them hollow and skeletonized. I was left with scarring in the upper left eyelid in the corner and I have trouble closing the eyelid. Must use plastic wrap at night with eye patch and ointment just to sleep. I spent $10,000 for a facelift, upper eyelid surgery and an endoscopic browlift. What was I thinking? He has never offered to make things right. I've spent way over this trying to get help. This ruined my marriage, my career, my finances and my self esteem, my health and my family. Run the other way!!!!!!!!! I don't wish this on anyone.
