has anyone had surgery?

Post a new topicby cmoss on Sat Apr 18, 2009 12:03 pm

I was diganosed with BP 13 years ago. I was left with a crooked smile and now my left eye looks smaller than the right one. I have seen a plastic surgeon and am considering a brow lift. He called me back to talk to his associate about a face lift. Has anyone else had surgery? Did it seem to help?

i have had bp for 10 years now and am considering all options at this point. i am scared of the surgical options though. If you do have the surgery, please post afterwards. I wish you the best.

I have a second appt Monday. I am also very scared, especially since the other person said it didn't help much. I know the brow lift will help, because my left eye looks smaller in pics. The face llift I'm hesitant about. I would love to have a fairly even smile back. I just don't see how they can do that and make it look normal when I'm not smiling. Anyway I will keep you posted. If I schedule it will be the middle of July. Thanks
