Repairing "botched" Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Khan is experienced at correcting other surgeons' eyelid problems because eyelids are his area of highest specialization. If you are referred to Dr. Khan because of a problem after an eyelid surgery, it does not necessarily mean that anything was done wrong by the first surgeon.

With the human body, one can never be certain of the outcome. Nonetheless, patients still have to deal with the correction of unsatisfactory results. The exact corrective procedure depends upon the problem. Below are some representative problems and corrections.

Please note that due to the added difficulty of reoperation, the usual cosmetic surgeon's fees are doubled when correcting problems due to prior surgery performed elsewhere.


Below are actual photos of patient's Dr. Khan has corrected. Please note that any recognizable photos are only used if the patient has given permission.
