I went in for an endoscopic brow lift at only 37. My eyes were droppy. They had always been like that. When I woke up, my doctor, seemed concerned about some swelling on the left side of my face. I have pictures of how I looked post op and they are worse than the ones I have seen on the internet. I could see the shock on Peter's face when he saw me the next day after surgery.
When I healed I got this suprised look problem. Also my eyebrows are too far apart. I tried to fix this with a tattoo brow enhancement but it didn't help much. I can see the whites of my eyes over the iris. I wear contact lenses that help but I wish that i could get better ones to hide the problem.
I really like my doctor. If there is anyway this can be fixed he would do it for free. I know he would. He didn't charge me for my breast implant surgery. I paid for the operating room and the implants themselves. He is a well respected doctor.
Can this be fixed? Please tell me yes.
