Hi had upper blepharoplasty done last week due to droppy skin on eyes and I know it's very early but just think there is a lot of difference in my eyes.
The cuts are at different heights to I know I am still swollen but will they ever look the same. I got my stitches out yesterday I have been taken arnica tablets and applying arnica gel

Hi Charlie, looking good! I'm considering Mr Shoaib for the same procedure. 5 weeks on would you still recommend Mr Shoaib? BTW, if you don't mind saying how much was your consult to see Mr Shoaib?

Hi yes when i was in my first week I was worried with the difference in my eyes but that seems to be getting better every day I have my 6 week check up next week. I was £100 for my consultation and £1500 for op he is a nice surgeon and I would recommend him and the procedure went very smooth a lot better Than I thought it would be. I have took pictures every day since op. You can pm me if you want if you have any other questions or want to see pics. Hope this helps you x

In answer to your question....I really don't think the eyes will be the same b/c of the different incision placement. The inner 1/3 of your left eye will have a larger lid margin than the right. Almost everyone has asymmetries in facial features but it would be interesting to ask why your PS deliberately created this difference. You'd think that if you were to undergo surgery, recovery and cost the goal would be symmetry at the very least. Did you ask him to make them different?

Hi no didn't ask him to make the difference were he cut was were my eye creases were. my right eye was my worst eye. I have my check up next week so will be checking with him in regards to this but every day they are getting less and less of a difference between the two eyes

They will get less different from the initial days post surgery, but I don't think the margin in the inner left corner will be like the rest of the left eye nor like the right. It could have been if you PS had made the correction.
Hold him accountable unless you like the look.

Your eyes look so much better! If they're slightly different it's really not such a big deal, we're all asymmetrical. Yes, symmetrical would have been better, but you look amazeballs, enjoy!

Ps I had upper and lower blepharoplasty with Stanek. I'm asymmetrical too but taimur is fab with Botox and evens it out quite a lot. :)

Hi there I am new to this site and considering upper bleph - have you any pictures now - you look AMAZING and your 'before' eyes look so much like mine, so that gives me a lot of hope is there anything you miss about your before look?

Hi Charlie, are you happy now? I'm post procedure 2 days and went with Mr Shoaib.
