Had an eye lift and wound up with giant long scars at each outer aspect of my eyes. it aged me and looks like crows feet! HORRIBLE SURGERY! I have bat wing scars! AWFUL self conscious, from a terrible job. When I asked why I had these awful stitched up eyes I got no answer. Doctors who have no real PLASTIC skills should not make promises about their expertise. I am pissed to this day every time I look at my eyes. Built on CROWS FEET from a bad surgery.

You said it.!! I too had a dr with NO aesthetic or plastic surgery skills when it came to my lower eye lid surgery. Filling my tear troughs full of fat, not seeing where cheeks start and stop, where lower eyes are completely FLAT for if francis johns did not remove my pretarsal then he tightened lower lid to making it so flat with no contour, saying he thinks he did a great job. Well if this is so great i like to see him do it to himself or his family member making rhem look like freaks. Then having no remorse , asking me not to come back and to find another dr after he damaged me, but he's got his $8,000 for the WORSE eye job. Butchered like me, i am so sorry for you. Like me we got to live the rest of our lives mangled with bad plastic surgery results. There ought to be laws for us victims

Yes. Not only did I ended up with unrealistic, unnatural eyes I wasn't treated right after I told of my unsatisfactory outcome, francis johns did not know how to deal with the botched job that he had his secretary call me asking that i find another surgeon, for my check had cleated and if he tried helping then it would dip into the money I paid him. I'm not the only one who was treated this way, I found 3 others who have the same story. Eyes, boob, facial scars, stomach so it's not only the eyes but all over

plastic surgeons are too protected, however there are 3 of us who all had horror stories on different body parts done by francis johns. something will happen. thank you

Thank you for sharing. I hope he will take responsibility and have the decency to either pay on your behalf a competent surgeon to perform a revision or pay for damages. If I made an irreversible mistake at my job I am positive I will be standing at the unemployment line. Why a physician shouldn't take responsibility like everyone else? The problem with incompetent physicians is their lack of modesty and understanding of their limit. Not everyone can actually perform this type of surgeries, and it's ok they can do something else instead of ruining the life of other people .

I just did an eye lift as well. I am nervous about the possibility of visible scars. Have you tried any laser resurfacing to minimize the scar?

I have lumps and atrophy from a double board-certified surgeon, dropped me after two months and revision surgery now I’m wearing an eyepatch and contacts
