Completely uneven and ugly looking eyes after the double eyelid surgery here.
I had a double eyelid surgery as my eyelids were starting to droop as I am getting into middle age. I had chosen him because his credentials looked good and the before and after photos on his websites looked good as well. i found out later they werent even his before and after photos-
During the pricing discussion, the business person who dealt with me offered me $500 off the surgery price if I posted a positive review on yelp. Hmm. However I decided to go ahead. I figured they were just trying to get good reviews.
I felt that his pre surgery consultation to determine my eyelid shape was too rushed and he did not ask for my opinion about it, and he was more interested in my ipad that I brought (with photos to show him the eye shapes I wanted to show him). He did not even look at the pictures.
Surgery itself was quick and painless. However, immediately I can tell the size of the double eyelid line were completely different and my left eye was an infold and the right eye was an outfold. For over three months, I had wear glasses or sunglasses to hide the eyes. IN the process of healing, there were a lot of problems with multiple acne like infections on the eyelid lines, and after a few months, the line on the right eye became less defined and fuzzy. By six months, my eyes looked OK from a distance, but up close, you can see how uneven they are. The shape of the left eye was a random rectangular shape and huge, and the right eye had a fuzzy line and small. I felt really bad having made a decision to do a double eyelid surgery because I had attractive eyes with monolid and had liked them until they started to age.
At the end, I decided to go through a revision surgery with another Boca Doctor, and I am so happy that I made that decision. It turned out to be a major work and costly since the doctor in Boca had to do multiple corrections including the balancing the size of the lines, making both eyes infolds, and reversing the overcorrected ptosis (which I had not asked Dr Ress ) that had resulted in a slightly flipped up upper lid look. It took 3.5 hours to do the revision. It's been a month after a surgery, and it already looks better than it did 6month post at Dr Andrew ress. It even looked good on the next day after the surgery despite the bruising and swelling because both eyes were balanced this time!!
I really think Dr. Andrew Ress is not a good cosmetic surgeon. I believe he has no sense of visual aesthetics and balance and skills. It is a shame that he promotes himself as an "expert" in double eyelid which the receptionist told me when I first visited them. Please save yourself from the trouble and look elsewhere if you are looking to get double eyelid surgery.
