Ptosis Repair and Bilateral Blepharoplasty - Orlando, FL

$4,500
Dr. Parbhu performed a ptosis repair on my left eye and bilateral upper blepharoplasty in her office. I was given 10 mg. Valium, an injection near the site, and the surgery took less than 1 1/2 hours. While operating, Dr. Parbhu asked me many questions about how she could find a trustworthy financial advisor (I had recently retired from the financial services industry). I tried to answer her questions, but found it disconcerting to be grilled for information while undergoing surgery.
The surgery was done very poorly. The incisions on my eyelids were placed well above the natural crease, the sutures were loopy and the suture material was thick, resulting in a very lumpy, bumpy line above both eyes. Multiple cysts developed on both eyelids.
The normal post-op course is one visit to remove the stitches, another visit in about 2 months to see the final result. Because of the lumps, bumps and swelling that wouldn't subside, I went back more often. Every time, she started the visit by asking me how she could find a financial advisor she could trust. Unbelievable! I gave her a name and phone number. When I observed that my eyes looked worse than before the surgery, she shrugged her shoulders and commented that at least the lid levels were more even. Again, unbelievable!
In October 2016, I had the blepharoplasty repaired by a well-respected, experienced plastic surgeon in Winter Park, FL for a fraction of the price charged by Dr. Parbhu. General anesthesia was included, and the result is fantastic. I'm very grateful to this surgeon for fixing the mess Dr. Parbhu had created.

I'm so sorry!! That sounds terrible!! So what dr in Winter Park do you recommend for this surgery? And can you tell me the costs for upper eyelid surgery

I recommend Dr. Clifford Clark for all plastic surgery needs. He transferred fat to the area under my eyes during the same surgery, so I cannot tell you what blepharoplasty alone would have cost. His prices are very reasonable and his care and results are excellent!

Who did your repair blepharoplasty? I am also a victim of Dr. Parbue and am scared to let anyone else touch my eyes again.

Dr. Clifford Clark in Winter Park did the repair. He is an excellent plastic surgeon!

I'm sorry I did not see your question sooner. I understand being scared to let anyone touch your eyes again. Every time I passed a mirror, all I could see was the lumpy scar tissue left by Dr. Parbhu's hands. Dr. Clark turned it all around for me. Good luck!

Thank you so much for replying. I have been checking to see if you answered my question. I have very lumpy scars on both my eyelids post bleph and a prominent "dog ear on my right eye, smaller one on my left. I will definitely check Dr Clark out.
Again, heartfelt thanks

You are entirely welcome! You can find reviews of Dr. Clifford Clark on this site (including one I wrote). He has an excellent reputation. I hope you are able to get this fixed soon. Keep me posted!

P. J., how are you doing? Have your lumpy scars smoothed over, or have you decided to have further surgical repair? I really feel for you, and know what it's like to look in the mirror and see lumpy eyelids!

Can I ask who did the repair?
