Long Awaited Eyelid Surgery - New York

Still disappointed and angry
Dear.Dr.Gupta,
The realistic expectations that I had for the outcome of the surgery were the same as most people who post on this site. Expectations were to have my eyes look refreshed by excising upper lid ptosis, getting rid of the under eye bags, excising my upper lid and lower lid cyst and tightening jowls. And I was expecting to have these changes done for only $15,000.
What I did not expect to have post surgery was; upper lids ptosis, one under eye hollow with ectropion, the other under eye with a bag and jowls showing no difference.
Needless to say I did not attain my "realistic expectations". My eyes look just as tired and unnatural as before the surgery. What is unrealistic is that Dr.Gupta feels that the work done was "beautiful and natural". The only people who told me that my eyes look beautiful in the past year and a half were Dr.Gupta and her staff.
I appreciate all the replies and feedback posted, it only reaffirms what I already feel and see.

I actually think you look much much improved after the surgery. I know you are not happy but it looks good to me. All the best. Tanya

Most plastic surgeons strive to make their patients look younger and refreshed. Dr.Gupta achieved opposite results for me. She made me look 10-15 years older.

Sorry, but you do look older. I too looked better before going to her! Found out she is not a Board Certified plastic surgeon, She is a Board Certified eye doctor practicing plastic surgery because, in my opinion, it is more lucrative.

What did you do with her? I am considering her for festoon/malar bag surgery because she's literally like one of only two doctors I have found who successfully deals with it.
