I had my surgery a few years ago by doctor taban in LA Beverly hills at his Wilshire Blvd. office. I did an initial virtual consultation and instead of telling me I was too young to have a lower blepharoplasty, when I elected to have the surgery he took my money anyway. He was not kind or personable, on the initial call or when I showed up to have the surgery done. Neither him nor his staff which should’ve been red flags. I was not a good candidate based on my facial anatomy but had the surgery anyway. I’ve had some adverse cosmetic side affects to my eyes that have made me more self-conscious and less confident in life. If I could go back to that day, I would’ve never done it. He’s just not a trustworthy surgeon, and in general just doesn’t care for his patients because he’s not honest, or informative. but he is a really good marketer and will take your money. Please stay clear of this guy.

I used to have big brown eyes, now I have small beady eyes with webbed corners thanks to Taban. A few years ago I went to him for upper -and lower belph. I was misled by all the pictures on his Instagram page, I had no clue that those pics are taken shortly after surgery where the results are not final yet. . He told me that I needed decompression surgery, retraction correction, ptosis correction, and rim implants. Later I found out that he basicly gives everybody the same package. I didnt do the rim implants and was very reluctant to do the decompression. He told me that this is a very low risk procedure and that he does it all the time. The decompression changed my entire face, I dont recognize myself in the mirror. It also made my corners decompressed, blunt, and he took out all the fat. The retraction correction ended up even worse than before. The creases on the upper lids are put too high. This was the worst decison in my life.

I had a video consultation with Dr. Taban for a revision operation on the upper and lower eyelids after a botched eyelid operation. He shows such great techniques on YouTube. But he only wanted to do a skin transplant on me. He kept waving pictures of his “satisfied” patients in the camera. Apparently, 38,000 dollars were paid for the skin transplant. In Germany, this operation costs around 4,000 euros. The video consultation cost 500 dollars. That’s a disgrace and was money wasted for nothing.

I Went to Dr. Taban for Help, and Now I Look Like a Cyborg Who Lost a Bet

I went to Dr. Taban because I wanted my eyes to look fresh and natural, just a little tweak, nothing crazy. Instead, I walked out of there looking like a rejected extra from Star Wars.

First off, I told him I wanted a subtle adjustment. He nodded like he was on board, but the moment I was under the knife, I’m 90% sure I heard him say, “Let’s crank this up to 11!” When I woke up, I looked in the mirror and screamed so loud that the nurse dropped her clipboard. My eyes were so wide, I looked permanently surprised—like I’d just seen a ghost or realized my bank account was empty.

But wait, it gets better. A week later, one eyelid started drooping like it was giving up on life, while the other was so tight it felt like it was holding on for dear existence. My friends started calling me “Half-Mast McGee.” I couldn’t even wear sunglasses because my face looked so uneven, they’d tilt like a cheap carnival ride.

The cherry on top? My tears. For some reason, I cry out of ONE eye now. Just one. If I’m watching a sad movie, people think I’m either a sociopath or in the middle of a stroke.

When I called Dr. Taban to fix it, he told me to “trust the healing process.” Healing process?! I’ve been healing for so long, I should be a Marvel superhero by now. Instead, I look like the villain they introduce just to kill off in the first act.

Would I recommend Dr. Taban? Only if you’re filming a horror movie and need someone to play the role of “traumatized experiment gone wrong.” Otherwise, run. RUN WHILE YOU CAN.

Dr Taban did blepharoplasty on me and lied about what be would be doing. I will start by saying he is the rudest and most unkind person I have ever come across in life. He has no empathy in his whole body, no heart just darkness. I am young and always felt pretty, I just wanted a minor surgery as I had small signs of aging. Taban removed so much skin and fat that my eyes no longer close and have collapsed into my face. All the surgeons I see are horrified by how much tissue was taken at my young age, they say it looks like I had all my fat removed and it’s hard to revise. Even fat grafting is not an answer because I have so much internal scarring, it’s like he used a blunt butter knife. He removed tissue from areas we never discussed surgery to be performed on. I look like a totally different person, hideous and ugly. I don’t leave my house and I have been suicidal. Dr Taban was so hateful to me when I confronted him and he lied about what he had done to me. I hate him so much. It’s not enough to perform surgery badly, he does it so aggressively that there is no tissue left for revision and you are too scarred for grafting. He is so rough when he does the surgery that afterwards you look like you have been beaten in a boxing match, I was shocked when I saw other surgeons patients after the same procedure, they just look like they’re sleeping, I was bruised all over my face, bleeding everywhere and eyes swollen like tennis balls. That’s why the scarring is so bad after, he seems to hate his patients. I will never recover from this and I would do anything to stop other people suffering like this.

I was just there to get a routine procedure to have eye bags removed. After surgery I felt a constant burning. It is not going away and its been 4 weeks. I think something went wrong and I notice no difference in my eyes. They actually look worse and I’m too embarrassed to even post a picture of myself. My social life is non-existent now. Look elsewhere for a better doctor.

Taban agreed to remove fat lumps left on my upper eyes like so many I saw online. I didn’t see many others doing this. Especially not as often as Taban. I didn’t know what else to do but it was hard to leave the house in my current state. He operated on me… pushed my eyeball so hard … I thought he was purposely trying to kill me. I’m not sure how else to explain… but in the moment I knew it was somehow evil and I screamed to Jesus and he let up. It doesn’t make sense to this day why he did something like that….I’ve yet to ask another surgeon but plan to when I can save up to correct the scars, rounded corners, huge amounts of excess lower eyelid skin… I genuinely believe he didn’t do the skin pinch. There is NO way.
My eyes are beady small and ugly much like shekinah from 90day lol because her ass went to taban too! I am
Botched worse than before still with fatty lumps all over my eye. I pray every day that God gives this man what he deserves. Jesus loves us all .. even Taban.. but there are consequences for ruining lives like you see with Frank turfano.

Back in 2021, I had surgery that left me with some “unique” eye issues, and let’s just say I haven’t blinked at life the same way since. Literally—I can’t close my eyes anymore. This has turned sleeping into a never-ending staring contest, brought on a desert-level dryness, and caused all kinds of vision problems. Oh, and modeling? Forget it. These days, I’m more likely to hide behind sunglasses than strut down a runway.

My eyes are now mismatched—different shapes and sizes, sunken thanks to some overly enthusiastic fat removal, and unable to blink right due to muscle damage. Add severe ptosis to the mix, and it’s like my face signed up for a complete misalignment package. The cherry on top? My lymphatic system took a hit too, leaving my face perpetually puffy, with bonus wrinkles from the scar tissue that showed up uninvited.

It’s been a wild, traumatizing ride. Life feels like it’s stuck on pause, and every day is less about living and more about just hanging in there. The worst part? Trying to talk about it. Most people either don’t get it or seem too polite to say, “Well, at least your eyes match your sense of humor now—ugly and dry.” Okay, that might’ve been me, but hey, gotta laugh to keep from crying. Or blinking.

 In 2021, I underwent surgery and haven’t been able to close my eyes since. This has caused constant sleep disruption, extreme dryness, and other vision issues. I used to work as a model, but now I’m too embarrassed to even go out.

My eyes are two different shapes and sizes, sunken in because the surgeon removed the fat, and I can’t blink properly due to muscle damage. On top of that, I’m dealing with severe ptosis. The surgeon also damaged my lymphatic system, causing my face to be extremely puffy and appear much larger. Additionally, the scar tissue under my eyes has resulted in wrinkles that I never had before.

This entire experience has left me completely traumatized. It feels like time has stopped for me—I’m no longer enjoying life as I once did, just trying to survive each day. The hardest part is feeling ashamed to complain about it, and even when I confide in the very few people I trust, they don’t seem to understand what I’m going through.

He said the lid would get better, but the sharp is still totally imbalance more than before the surgery. Time can help the skin grafting’s colour but not the shape and the ugly scar line.

I consulted other doctors and they said the skin grafting from Dr. Taban is ridiculous and not essential. Doctor explained that Dr. Taban sewed my eye’s corner making the shape changed permanently, It couldn’t go back.

And the most shameless thing is, I just find Dr. Taban using my picture to promote his business in YouTube but I can tell you all the result is not truth and misleading. In video, he just show you he took 10% lump and he thinks the job was done successfully. The truth is, it couldn’t help any.
