Surgery day:
I arrived at MVP for surgery preparation at around 1pm, with my scheduled surgery for DES around 3pm. Elizabeth asked me if i had decided on the type of crease i want amd I told her i had decided on getting tapered creases. After i had changed into the surgery gown, she explained to me what would happen during the surgery and I was led to a waiting room while i waited for the operating theatre to be available.

Finally when I was in the op theatre, I was given sedation via IV, and local anaesthesia administered after that. Honestly, I did not feel any pain when the LA was injected. As the sedation started taking effect and i aas getting slightly drowsy, Dr Seo came in along with some other nurses and the surgery began. I don't remember exactly how long the surgery took but I felt no pain at all throughout the whole time, and it was a weird experience as i was like a half-asleep robot, and I just opened and closed my eyes according to the doctor's instructions, along with short strange dreams. The only thing I remembered seeing were some different colours and something bright yellow like a giant block of cheese. After that, I kind of dozed off and when i was awaken awhile later by Elizabeth, I was already in the recovery room where my mum was waiting. Going from monolids to double eyelids, i could feel a slight change in sensation when I blinked my eyes as I opened them. Ellen (another consultant) and Elizabeth came in and told my mum and I that my results were looking very nicely done.

After a short rest, Elizabeth brought me my post-op medications and pumpkin porridge, and after explaining the dos and don'ts for the post-op care, I was ready to leave the clinic. As it was already early evrning as we left, Elizabeth was really sweet to help my mum and I hail a taxi back to our hotel.

Recovery:
I had a pretty smooth recovery aside from the usual expected blurry vision after surgery. To help with deswelling, I took Sinecch (Arnica for surgery), bromelain and vit C supplements. I also drank pumpkin juice (bought from the nearby pharmacies) on and off for a couple of days. My bruising and swelling were quite bad in the first 4 days following surgery but with the supplements, cold and warm compress and medication, it subsided quite well eventually. I also went back to the clinic twice for cleaning, IV vitamin drip and laser deswelling therapy before stitches were taken out on the 5th day after surgery.

Eyelid photos:
I have attached my B/A photos below regarding my journey so far for these 2 weeks of recovery. Please do not share or circulate these pictures without my permission.

I am now exactly 2 weeks since surgery and I am satisfied with how my eyes have been looking so far. I am thankful that Dr Seo did a good job and as I have been told the full result of my surgery will be seen after up to 6 months of recovery, I hope that my eyes will eventually turn out to be what I want. I am also really grateful for Elizabeth and Victoria for the help that they have given me, including arranging transport pick-up for my mum and I to the airport on the last day of my trip.
