Final Result Photos 2 years Post Op - HORRIBLE! (These are actually my "Before" Pics for a 2nd Surgery)

I've resolved to pay another $3,000 (almost) to remove the wrinkles that the first bleph surgery left me with (I had no wrinkles before the surgery, but the loose skin wrinkled under my eyes causing me to look 10 years older than I did before I had the original surgery. See for yourself in these photos taken 9-4-15 as my "before" photos for a 2nd surgery, and my final result photos for this review's surgery.

The site wont let me put two reviews for the same procedure. I guess they don't believe you can have the same procedure twice?? I am going to try though because it is a new doctor with all new experiences. I am going to try to rename this procedure to undereye bag surgery or something?? Bare with me...dang, I already spent an hour writing out the new review too!!

NOT ALL OCULPLASTIC SURGEONS ARE QUALIFIED FOR BLEPHAROPLASTY

Here is a quote from LifeIsSweet, a fellow Real Selfer who commented on my review and I believe this information is very helpful for anyone looking into this procedure: "I agree that some Oculoplastic surgeons are not the best choice for cosmetic eye surgery - especially lower blepharoplasties. I say some because I certainly can't speak for all. One doctor I'm thinking of focuses almost exclusively on fixing lids that droop enough so as to block vision. His job was not so much to improve the aesthetics of the eyes, but to make them optimally functional again."

Dr. Stallman seemed to be great. He was very confident which came off slightly cocky, but he was friendly. He answered my questions and I felt somewhat at ease before the procedure. However, after the procedure I was not satisfied and looked worse than before and he did not offer to rectify the poor results of my upper/lower blepharoplasty that left me with some of the same issues plus severe wrinkling that was due to the procedure. I would not recommend him to my friends not only because the results were bad, but because he would not do anything to try to make it better. He didn't even offer me a discount to completely redo the surgery to remove the wrinkles I got (didn't have before at all) and he didn't even remove my hooded upper lids or under eye bags...He simply wanted to charge me full price for Botox. That was his solution. Definitely not what I paid for. His staff was very pleasant and friendly and my experience with them was great.
