Are you still happy with the results? Did any of the fat dissolve?

Very happy. Fat never dissolve and top and bottom of my eyes are still looking good. Very happy with the work he had done. Highly recommended.

I am so happy to hear that you were able to get help because I know how hard it can be to deal with the results of a bad surgery. I also had a bad upper and lower bleph that has left me with a very bazaar skeletoized look...especially under my eyes and in the outside corner rim. My eyes now make me look older than I did before the surgery and I'm so depressed. I have been gradually having fillers added to build up the hollowness and reshape my eyes and I think it may be helping a little but I hate to think I will have to continue doing this every year for the rest of my life! I am desperately seeking a more permanent correction but I'm also scared to do something that might make it worse.
Did you only have fat added or did he do any other procedures with it? I've been reading his reviews and looking at before and afters and I am considering traveling to him for a consult because he seems very knowledgeable and also seems to have a conservative approach to fat graphting which is a skill that most doctors do not have.

No, I went to someone else and had fat added, but it didn't turn out right, so I was going to look into Dr. Law to see if he can fix it.
I am sorry this has happened to you I know it can be discerning, I wear my glasses to hide for now, but I have only heard good things about Dr. Law, I wish I had known about him, before I had fat grafts added to my hollows of my tear troughs, what kind of filler are they using to fill your hollows?
I see an eye specialist here in Greenville South Carolina in January, it took my 9 months to get an appointment with him, I will let you know what he says.
Well hang in there and have a great Thanksgiving, I will talk to you soon,

My hollows were overgrafted and now they are uneven and I have a full bag on the left eye and a particial bag on the right eye. I am going to the doctor in Greenville South Carolina, because he specializes in correcting eyes that are defects or damage from accidents, my eyes are pulling in a downward direction from the fat grafts and are loosing their oval shape, he may be able to fix all of it or particial, I really wanted to get both of their opinions from Dr. Law and this other Doctor, I forgot his name, but when Iook up my appointment I will give you his name. I believe one of the two doctors will be able to do something, I will keep you informed, my problem is money, I will possibly have around 6,000.00 to spend by the 1st of July. Hopefully I can get one more surgery to correct this, and be done with it, but it is good to be very cautious and thoroughly research the Doctors, but I believe Dr. Law is the one, if he will correct it, I think you have to get an appointment with him and their staff has to except you as their patient if they think they can help you, that is what the girl told me when I called and had a phone interview, I have to go to my doctor and pick up the pictures and send to them.

Hey Julia! Sorry....I guess I read that wrong and thought you were the one who had gone to Dr. Law for correction of bad bleph. I am so angry with myself and I too wear glasses and also hide the corners of my eyes with my hair.
Thank you for responding. I emailed Dr. Law's office over the weekend and am waiting to hear back from them.
The problem with the filler is finding someone who can do it very conservatively around the eyes. I have gone to 3 different doctors for this and the one I am using now is by far the best...but I have to be extremely patient and go back every two weeks for touch ups to avoid overfill in the delicate eye area. I have both Juviderm and Restylane. And even though I am seeing some emprovement it won't be permanent and is certainly not cheap! I don't have a ton of money to spend either but I think in the long run the fat would be cheaper if it takes.
I am losing volume in my face too so im wondering if I might be a good candidate for a midface lift which im thinking should be able to lift some of my cheeck fat under my eyes....but I don't know... My eyes are my biggest concern at the moment though...mainly the outside corners....but I am willing to do whatever it takes but I'm also scared to death. But after all the extensive research I have been doing I'm a bit more optimistic that there might be some hope. I just want to choose my surgeon carefully. I have given myself a little time with the fillers because I am assuming they will need to be fully absorbed before fat can be grafted. In the meantime...I will do my very best to avoid mirrors! They are definitely not my friend!
Thank you again for your reply! And good luck! I would love to hear what your other doctor has to say! You have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well! :)

Hello. Sounds good. Are you willing to send photographs? In my experience, it is not easy to get an appointment for a consultation with Dr Law, despite his extremely strong internet presence. I am getting the feeling any patients are "cherry picked". I'd be interested in seeing your pre and post photographs.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
