Treatment of Blepharoplasty Complications
Complications and bad results happen. Different patients vary in their responses to plastic surgery and different cosmetic surgeons vary in their experiences and preferences.
One of the most helpful things you can do if the unexpected comes to pass is to try to maintain a civil relationship with your doctor. Working together on problems is preferable to seeking second and third opinions from doctors only weeks after your surgery
All facial plastic surgeons are trained to deal with the most common complications.
If a bad outcome is unusual or unexpected, a reputable doctor will usually refer you to a practitioner with a higher level of expertise.
Always follow your surgeon's advice. Don't panic and begin scouring the Internet for answers; your confusion will quickly escalate out of control.
If you do lose faith in your surgeon, however, there is nothing wrong with requesting referral to another eyelid specialist.
