I really hate how my upper eyelid surgery turned out. Dr. Ostreicher performs an aggressive form of upper bleph.
He removed far too much fat from eyes and now I look completely different. I think great cosmetic surgery should just produce a better you unless you are looking for a different look. My eyes are now very round-looking and it's the same cookie-cutter look he gives all of his patients. There is simply no artistry let alone skill to what he does. He cut so much skin out of my eyelid area that my eyebrows look far lower than before surgery. I also have a kind of hawk like look. Run in the opposite direction. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't regret having this procedure done by him. #glassesforever

So sorry you've had an unsatisfactory result. Thank you for letting others know about this dr's methods. I do hope you can put things right and wish you well

Thanks for sharing. I just asked for a consultation before seeing your post. How do you feel about your surgery now?

Hi gh40. I read your post that he did your eyes and you aren't happy? It has almost been two years and now that it has settled I would love to go back and have a bit more taken off the inside of one of my upper eyelids. I also wish I had him do a lift at the end of my eyes in the hairline but I didn't want to go that extreme. Wish I did now. Other than that when I look at my before photos, I am fairly happy. I don't think he went very aggressive with me. I would love you to send me a photo of your eyes before and after. Are you going to go back to him?

I’m still really unhappy. I look like a completely different person. He cut so much out of one eyelid that it pulled it much lower. My two eyes look completely different. I spent another $13000 to have fat grafting done with Another surgeon to correct it. It looks better but there is no correcting what dr oestreicher did. Other surgeons are far more conservative. Worst decision I’ve ever made. Go to someone like Marc Dupre or Trevor born. You’ll pay more but you’ll get something beautiful. I have to live with Dr Oestreicher did every day. He’s no artist//that’s for sure.

It’s awful
Go somewhere else
He’s good for medical stuff but not cosmetic
He practices a very aggressive form of surgery
See Marc dupre or Trevor born

I too had an upper bleph years ago with the same surgeon and the results were horrible!!! Too much skin and fat were removed and resulted in my eyes barely closing . My eyebrows were lowered so much that I look angry, and my eyes are a weird shape. I went to him because he specialized in eyes so I figured he would be the best for results. It’s been 12 years since my surgery and they look worse every year. Now my eyes are hollow with low low eyebrows.

Hi ... so sorry ... not on here very often. Dr. Born did fat grafting around my eyes and it looks much better. I still look completely different but it's much better than the butcher job performed by Dr. Oestreicher ...my eyebrows are now very asymmetrical --he cut way more skin out of one eye and it lowered dramatically .... my eyes look very asymmetrical now too ... however, one eye was probably bigger before surgery but in Dr. O's hands, he just exaggerated it and made it look very obvious ... this guy is brutal! Go see Dr. Born but get your cheque-book ready ... I spent a lot on the fix but it's worth it to me
Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you're able to find support from others in the eyelid surgery community.
