Revisional double eyelids surgery

Hi Vuitton80, you better not going to Dr. Lee in Los Angeles! He ruined my eyes and my friend too. My before eyes was pretty and just want a subtle eyelid. I was in totally shock!!! It was my biggest mistake to trust him!!! Hopefully I will get my life back and smile again with my revision in Korea. Maybe you should go to Korea, they have the best technology and know pretty well the Asian face. Is important! Good luck and carefully searching for a Plastic surgeon for your Asian eyelid. Take the time when you go to appointment. Hope it help!

i had my eye done badly by migo clinic and i am in korea at the moment to do eye revision consultations by I.O.U, BIO, BK dr shin, dr ahn, MVP, EVE clinic, would you be interested in me sharing the info? are you planning to go to korea soon?
 
I had non-incisional surgery done about 5 years ago and recently the fold in my left eye has started to morph into a triple fold. This has only lasted for a max of five minutes and usually happens in the mornings when I've slept too much or if my eye is swollen. I know that people who have natural double eyelids can experience these types of changes in the shape of their eyes but I'm wondering if this is normal with someone who has had surgery. Does this mean my fold is coming undone and that revision is necessary?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! :smile:
hi moomoo84, im curious about your situation and have been researching about it. please email me so we can discuss in private. [email protected] =)
 
My consultation experience with Dr. Cho at Bio (previously Bando Eye) was a waste of time. He was arrogant, inconsiderate, and I didn't care if he had a good reputation or not, I would not go through with a revison surgery by someone who doesn't seem to care about a patient's concerns - or at least he wasn't with me.

I highly recommend Dr. Kang at IOU Clinic. It is his own practice so he takes pride in his own work and a patient is not just a number to him. My eyes are starting to look better and better each week since my revision surgery in December

Since there were a few posters who mentioned this doctor in LA, I was curious and looked him up. Apparently, he trained with the surgeon who did my primary surgery in the 90s. :shocked:

I went to a well-known plastic surgeon in the US who was famous for blepharoplasty and pioneered the Asian incisional technique. There are many surgeons in the US and Asia that adopted his published technique, anchor blepharoplasty, because it creates a crease that is permanent and does not fade away like other techniques. However, it turns out this method is more invasive and harder on the eyes, which can create complications like ptosis and retraction. It takes a long time to recover, like a year or more, and the end result is still a little puffy.

The surgeon offered to correct it a year later, but I regret that I went back to him for a revision. I didn't know there were different techniques and that his was more extreme than others. He re-operated on one eye, and I later learned that the technique he used for the correction was too extreme as well, on top of his usual technique. The surgery failed and left a bigger scar. Later on, I had a second revision on this eye with an eye specialist, and the scar line was improved but the retraction remained. After that, I was reluctant to try again for many years until recently.

I was like you in that I only wanted a subtle result and was surprised by the outcome -- high and deep creases and asymmetry. My original eyes were perfectly even. A friend of mine had gone to Korea, which looked really natural but faded away a year later. I think that would have been better.

What I learned is that there are different incisional techniques. I think there are many surgeons using the anchor blepharoplasty method or similar techniques. Eye specialists are more cautious with the eye anatomy and probably would not use this kind of technique due to the risk of complications. The other lesson I learned is to be cautious with revisions. Waiting can be the right decision. Time alone will bring some improvement and advancements that may help. Also, additional surgeries create more issues. Ultimately, there is only so much you can control, and even the best surgeons can make mistakes. There is luck involved in having a good result.

Hi Vuitton80, I don't know about Korea too! You have to carefully research and take the time with the Plastic Surgeon when you go to appointment. Booked with 3 or 4 clinics before you decide doing the surgery. Post and share what are you looking for, I received a email from a girl who willing to be my translator when I go to Korea in August.
 
Hi Snowcup,
which doctor you want to consult for your revision?
Do you have any suggestion?
How about Dr. Shin Yon Ho from BK?
I like there before/after picture from revision
I will need a lot of consultation before I do my revision.
