Trust and patience

So. Well I don’t even know how to start. I was so frustrated and sad about how my eye was. Well, my new Doctor had me see him once a week. After crying and panicking, all week I was resolved and had excepted the fact that I was to have one eye bigger than the other and drooping. At least I could see again and my headaches stopped because I no longer had to pull my hair tight to hold my eyes up. Well, at the end of my visit my doctor looked me straight in the face and said “it will get better, I promise”. And in one day it did! I read that chemosis and ptosis could change suddenly and it does. If anyone is having doubts about how you turned out, give it time. I’m 3 weeks post op and I know things will change more. If anyone is considering a bleph, look for someone who specializes in Oculoplastic and or facial reconstruction. My first surgery was basically a butcher job. My second was the correct choice.

It’s been 7 months since surgery. If anything, this is a good place to vent. Although my doctor was patient, and kept telling me to be patient, i would say my results are so/so, My eyebrows are crooked and I definitely have 2 different eyes. It was worse but he at least restitched the bigger eye because it was drooping in the corner and it would hurt and be tired at the end of the day. It still really bothers me both functionally and physically. Not to mention psychologically, but I don’t think he really cares anymore. I definitely feel like an annoyance now. I guess doing a revision would mean accepting and admitting that things did not turn out correctly. I have no problem paying for my revision because I knew it was a possible complication. Yet, he last couple of times I was there, I was just getting brushed off and told how good it looks. The eyebrows I can live with, but pain and discomfort in the one eye is really bothering me. If anyone is out there reading this and can recommend a doctor who can fix my eye, please let me know. Thanks for reading.
