WORTH IT$25
I had surgery for a brow lift, eye bleph, and fat transfer to chin 2 years ago. During that procedure the doctor did a fat transfer to my under eye area w/o consent. In his attempt to remove it several months later, he injected me with fillers all along the orbital and brow line areas which had complications of their own.I had sought out a second doctor who attempted to remove filler with Hyalourandiase. Some improvement, not much. I then went back repeatedly to the originally doctor to no avail. I have since gone to a third doctor, Dr. Roberston in Middleton WI and I have to say, that I am beginning to believe that this first doctor has used a permanent type of filler as the discoloration and fullness are still apparent. I also have some "puckering" of the skin area which looks like blisters v. normal flat smooth skin in some areas. This has been present from the onset of that original surgery 2 years ago.
The second Dr. had used Hyalourandiase. Dr. Robertson used Vitrase and in direct contact with the filler. My right brow area is MUCH better and so is the "puckering" effect I have had for so long under the lash line of the right eye area. I went back yesterday for a second treatment with Vitrase and today I noticed my right brow is all but free of filler and the right under eye has no more bumps or weird indentations caused by the filler. The left brow and under eye area however, is still full of filler creating a centralized puckering effect ( blister- like) right along the orbital bone and the fullness is still apparent. Dr. Robertson said to give it a month and we will re-check it.
The second Dr. I saw was good but after several attempts to remove it with only slight improvement, I felt like he was becoming condescending and judgmental toward me. I know how my eye areas looked before the fillers were injected. I know how my cheek bones had contour and shape. That first Dr. put so much fat and filler in my face I looked like a pregnant cabbage-patch doll. There was nothing "natural" about it, yet this 2nd Dr. kept telling me I was seeing fullness that wasn't there...
Dr. Robertson on the other hand, is not at all condescending, nor does he try to tell me what my face did or didn't look like before these fillers and fat grafts. He merely listens, assess, and then, based on his observations, tried Vitrase with much more success than Hyalourandiase.
I am hoping to get my left eye area and brow to the same state as my right eye area now. I am grateful for the doctors like Kevin Robertson who do not judge and who do not condescend. This has been a two year battle from Hell both physically and emotionally to begin without needing the added insult of being deemed unreasonable in my attempts to remove this filler.
