My mom’s lower blepharoplasty failed... What I learned while looking for a revision surgery clinic…

When my mom first had lower blepharoplasty, I honestly wasn’t worried at all, you know? I thought it was just a surgery everyone gets, and since it was a famous clinic, of course it would turn out well… They said the uneven bulging under her eyes was just swelling, but it never went away.... As time passed, she said it felt tight when she closed her eyes and kept feeling uncomfortable, and in the end the side effects gradually got worse. It was botched, basically. From then on, our family really debated a lot about whether she should have revision surgery or not, and since I was the one who had encouraged her to get the surgery, I felt like I was dying Even if it had been botched on my own face, I would have felt like dying, but because it was my mom’s face, it was even worse. I was also scared it might get even worse. So this time, I decided we absolutely had to look into clinics carefully, and I looked as much as possible for eye-specialized clinics with a lot of experience in lower blepharoplasty, upper blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, and revision surgery. It turns out these lower and upper blepharoplasty surgeries are more difficult than regular double eyelid surgery, so you really shouldn’t just go anywhere;;;; Not knowing that and booking right away just because the place was famous, cheap, and seemed good was such a stupid mistake. Now, after the revision surgery, her progress is good, and I think she just needs the remaining minor swelling to go down, so I’ll share the information I learned after the failure and all the trouble of looking into revision surgery, for the public good. 1. Whether it’s an eye surgery specialized clinic Since it’s a more difficult surgery than regular double eyelid surgery, if the doctor doesn’t have much experience, skip it no matter how big the clinic is. And for aftercare too, factory-style clinics or overly large hospitals don’t seem to manage patients properly, so keep that in mind. Avoid double eyelid surgery specialty clinics if possible. 2. Definitely check whether the before-and-after photos look natural. If they look overly soft and bright, that’s Photoshop. I fell for that tactic. 3. Whether they handle lower blepharoplasty, upper blepharoplasty, and ptosis correction all together. I think this is where you can check whether they also specialize in complex surgeries. 4. Whether they answer your questions clearly during consultation. If a doctor can’t answer what feels uncomfortable and why, I feel like they can’t do surgery well either. This is also a point that builds trust. I hope everyone reading this doesn’t have a botched surgery....
