It has been a while since I updated this review. I am still in the "unsure" if this was worth it category. I am not entirely happy with my results. From the results I have seen on this website, I would categorize mine as so-so. While the asymetry is not entirely noticeable, I see it. After paying a so-called "expert" $10k, my expectations were higher than my outcome. I will see Dr. Stein again for his opinion. I have consulted with two occular plastic specialists in the area. One feels Dr. stein took fat out of my upper lid and the other feels he left a bit of skin that needs to be removed. I am still not sure I want to undergo a revision, once was traumatic enough! Thank you all for your comments and notes. Your positive feedback kept me going during these months of uncertainty. I experienced a bout of depression due to this experience. I am heartened by the positive outcomes so many of you have experienced. Keep posting!

Things are still changing, but I guess that is true even if you have not had surgery. My left eye is still giving me some dry eye problems. It is not terrible, but still a bit worrisome. I have made an appointment with the eye doc to check it out. I have to wait a month for the appointment! I still feel a little right is one spot over my right eyebrow, if I rub it, it feels better. I saw an 86 year old lady yesterday and we compared our blephs! She thought mine looked good, her's was fabulous! We agreed the process was more traumatic than we thought it was going to be. But one does heal eventually.

I am now past the 5 month mark. I am still unsure if this was worth the trouble. I am glad to have this forum to vent. Thanks for reading my rants. I saw some friends that I haven't seen in 6 months and they asked me if I changed my hair, which Inhave. Lesson learned, if you do a cosmetic procedure, change your hair. That is what people notice! I still have a small bump at the end of one scar, but for the most part, the scars have faded. I don't have to put cover up on them any more. My forehead still feels like I have tape on it at the end of the day.

Dr. Stein thoroughly explained the procedure and why he does a brow lift with all of his blepharoplasties. The said he would be very conservative and is anchoring my brow. He warns me my eyebrows would look high for the first two weeks after the procedure, and then they would settle down. He called twice the first day to see how I was doing. The second day, I texted him a photo because I was worried about the continued bleeding from one eye. He said I was doing fine. Later on when I have met with Dr. Stein about my concern with my crinkly eyelid and asymetry, he was very dismissive and arrogant. I do not think I would recommend him based on several follow up visits where his demeanor was defensive of his work and dismissive of my concerns. Disappointing. His office staff is very nice though.
