I wanted to turn back the clock and look younger. But, this surgery came out poorly. First, my lower lids had too much tissue removed. They now (for the past 2 years) drip, ooze, are red, bloodshot and enflamed 24/7. I need to get them fixed but, I'm scared that they will come out even worse! My lower face was not even lifted like we discussed. And, he placed the scar in front of my ear, although we agreed to place in behind so as not to see it!

I am so sorry to hear your surgery with Dr. Bidic went south. He was my first choice for a TT and Arm lipo. because he had performed surgery on my sons scalp and the scar is unnoticeable. The healing and clean incision I witnessed was excellent. After reading your post I began to think maybe cosmetic surgery isn't his specialty even though he offers it. He is a well known reconstructive surgeon and that maybe his nitch. I have since changed my surgeon and hope you can find a solution to the damage he's created.

Thank you. The worst part was that after a few follow ups, he did way too little to rectify my problems. He then told me that he is sorry that I am not happy but, there is nothing else he could do for me! He could've/should've given me a $17,000 refund.

I agree with you! He should have given you a refund. It's smarter to refund a patient when there's a bad result AND to continue treating that patient with kindness and respect. A review like this can cause many potential new patients to choose another surgeon.

Thank you for your honest review, and I am so sorry about your result. I agree he could have refunded you, or offered to pay for another surgeon since he says he can do no more for you. But from what I read as well as my own experience with poor doctors and dentists most don't pay to fix their botched work unless forced to it. That you are lovely inside still shines through, though, and that is the source of beauty that never wears thin. Maybe your other two surgeons can offer some suggestions. The fact you are happy with their work ought to go a long way with them. Do keep us updated as you feel comfortable.

Not a day goes by where I don't regret my decision to use Dr Bidic. My eyes are always bloodshot,and drip daily. I have been scared to find another surgeon to attempt a revision, as it could make my eyes worse. The lower portion of my face still has extra sagging skin, is asymmetrical from the right to the left side, and I was left with noticeable scoring in front of my ears. Out of fear and cost, I have put off finding another surgeon to redo the lower facelift, which was never done correctly. Im now considering finding someone this year to fix it. Any suggestions for lower face lift revision or lower bleph revision ?

I know it's a long way for you to go, but there is a magician in San Franciso for eye lift revision. His name is Dr. Stuart Seiff ***-***-****. I have just gone through this nightmare of an extremely poor result with a friend of mine. She was butchered down in L.A. and her eyes did not close. I work in the medical field and got his name from a highly respected plastic surgeon who examined her and said, "there is only one doctor for you, Stuart Seiff". He was so right! It took more than one surgery but today her eyes close completely, match and are beautiful once more. Thanks to Dr. Seiff!!!

so sorry to read that you have had a poor outcome. I have read reviews about others in this site who have had eye revisions with Dr. Seiff with great outcomes. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for sharing your experience on RealSelf!
