Why did you allow someone who is NOT a plastic surgeon do plastic surgery on you??? That is the problem right there. This doctor has no business performing plastic surgery on a patient just because she prescribes eyeglass prescriptions as an opthomologist. Insane.
It's too late to scold her. Have a seat somewhere.
You are so right and I continue to deal with the consequences. Seems like good advice came too late. I take complete responsibility for my decision but not the results!
I hope your advice will work for you during difficult times- Have a seat.........!
That's exactly what I am saying in this testimonial. Dr. was highly convincing and I was gullable---not a good thing! I made a mistake choosing her and I continue to pay dearly for it in more ways than one! I hope photos will stop anyone considering this surgery ----Reputable Plastic Surgeon Only!
That's exactly what I said in my testimonial. My regrets run deep! She was a good saleswoman----just had disaster to sell!
That comment wasn't to you Mary. My heart hurt for u. I thought it was rude for the woman that posted a comment about you should've chosen a better doctor. You should tAke a stand, not a seat :)

ORIGINAL POST

I had upper and lower eyelid surgery due to droopy...

I had upper and lower eyelid surgery due to droopy eyelids. It was a disaster! I had such a severe hematoma and the bruising covered my whole face, breasts and stomach. The Dr. Kept saying it would go away. My eyes were swollen shut for several days. Some bruising did subside but 3 months later bruising remained. After a total break-down in the Dr.s office she finally recommended a plastic surgeon who did 5 reconstructive surgeries. He was very sympathetic and did all he could to help. There is definite improvement but my eyelids are not even and look patched from skin grafts.


My advice is ---- never let an opthomologist do this surgery regardless of experience. I did my part by having all my Dr.s approval and bloodwork. I realize too late she had no experience in lower lids.

I'm so sorry to hear about what you went through, Mary. I can't believe that you had 5 reconstructive surgeries as well! My heart goes out to you.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. *hugs*

I'm hoping to send photos - I have plenty

Thanks. That will really help us see what's going on.

Mary, so sorry that you had such a horrid time, sending healing vibes your way x
