Did anyone get their DES done here in the States, especially on the West Coast? I (35/M) was thinking about doing it in Korea, but after factoring in the travel expenses and risks, I found that it would be better to do it here, near the comfort of my own home. So far, I’ve narrowed it down to a couple of surgeons who do DES.
Surgeons who do DES:
Dr. Andrew Choi, MD (focuses on facial and eyelid, second in rank to Charles S. Lee on Realself)
Dr. Melanie Ho Erb (focuses on eyelid and the face)
Dr. K. Charles Kim (does everything from face to body)
Charles S. Lee, MD (featured surgeon on Realself and famous TikTok surgeon, focuses on the face and not just eyelids)
Dr. William P. Chen (only focuses on eyelids. Wrote a couple of books about eyelids. He might be near retiring age since he started in 1988)
Dr. Denise Wong, MD (only focuses on eyelids as well. Could not find any negative reviews on her even though she has so many reviews)
So far, I am leaning toward Dr. Denise Wong since she has a perfect review score out of anybody and her work looks pretty good to me. If anyone has experience with them or other surgeons, please feel free to share your experience or knowledge. Thank you.
