In my experience since I'm a slow healer, the eyelid size stopped getting smaller around 5 months. I think most people it's like 3 months though but if you look at Dr. Meronk's website of healing, the eye still deswells a tiny bit up to a year but you should know around 3-6 months what size it will stay.

Thanks Kim... Yes, I look at Dr Meronk's website every now and then.. haha

Currently, I still have a dark coloured lump on one side..maybe its called Milia..

Hi. I am a new poster to this board and have been following it with interest for some time now. I met with a PS a few days ago and he recommended a bridge augmentation via a silicone implant and a tip refinement with nasal cartilage.

I am a bit nervous about the implant -- having heard so many horror stories. I am wondering whether it would be possible to do only the tip work now, and make a decision on the implant at some future date (maybe years in the future).

Have you heard of anyone doing this before?

Yes, you can do tip works only if you want.
Take your time..

I got a little higher than before plus a little wider. I wanted a thin bridge but not that thin because my nose is small. Yep I went through it again & he charged me again since he had to remove old one & insert new one. If it's something like infection or crooked or something went wrong, they will do free revision but not for personal preference.

I'm leaving today but I am going for another checkup right before I leave. I'm going to miss Korea but also going to be glad I can see my family again when I get back to baby me lol

Does that mean that you paid the full amount again? Like doing a new nose job?
Or just the implant fee?

heheh so good to go back home yeah? lol especially when there are people to baby you !!!!!

Thank you for posting up her pics again. I got epi done as well & I thought there would be a distinct line that scars but it's just like slightly reddish there, no distinct line that says I got epi. Woohoo

Seriously??? I wonder if that applies for all epi jobs!!! Man...

I did eyelashes with Dr. Jong (LRclinic) in Taiwan... it was 900 USD or 1000 USD total... can't remember.

I didn't do double eyelid because I already had double eyelid... but I didn't realize that the double eyelid would get smaller due to the epi... and I realized this too late. I would have done it with Dr. Chuang if I knew that.

Personally, I think Dr. Chuang's level of alar reduction is that of Dr. Kim or any other well known Korean plastic surgeon (by looking at his pics and comparing them to people that I know went to Dr. Chuang)... Alar reduction results will depend on the doctor's skill AND your own alar. Some alar shapes and bigger alar will result in a greater difference. Like... if you have flared nostrils, you will see a bigger difference.

Now, the best is still probably Dr. Toriumi for alar... Sometimes, the face looks great afterwards... and sometimes, it just looks older or different... but not better...
However, if you want to completely change your face or nose, I think he's the one to go to...

For epi, Dr. Chuang does the new procedure for epi... it really didn't leave any scars for me.

Dr. Kim in BKclinic almost always does silicone I and ear cartilage for the tip.

Kimosa, that is what I don't understand. Goretex tends to be wider than silicone and you can build it MUCH higher than silicone can safely... So, it's so strange that you got a higher and wider nose with silicone. I have never heard of that from any doctors... and I've spoken to many of them in Korea, US and Taiwan.... Anyway... I was just confused. All that matters is if you are happy with the nose.

Hey Maskd,

Do you think it was magic epi that Dr Chuang did?

He said tt it is the standard tt the implant r nt in the centre, movable at the bridge.
He thinks it is perfectly fine.
He says there is nothing wrong with it. and he is a BIG FAT LIAR.
I dont want to get decieved agn.
I m very sure tt he will nv offer a free revision.
Even If i get a revision wif him , after the revision he is gg to give me lots of creams or whatever **** , n say it is necessary. Those creams cost a few hundred dollars n i only need to use them for a few days. In the end i have a whole lots of stupid creams left over.
If i ever see him agn, the 1st thing i'll do is cut off his tongue.

I have heard of the expensive cream part! Some people actually insisted not taking the creams.. and they mentioned the nurses were showing them a black face afterwards.

If anyone here has had chin augmentation, could you please PM me? I need some advice. Thanks!

Keenose, I have heard of a forehead lift. Isn't that what Nicole Kidman got? Also, there is a doctor here in NY who performs eyebrow lifts which would also make your double eyelids higher.

I wonder if its a forehead lift that I need.. hehe I'll ask Dr Chuang and see what he says too.

What questions do you have regarding chin? Maybe you could post them here and see if anyone can help you with them...

Hey girls,

Call me unconventional or what ever but what is this magic epi eye procedure you guys have been talking about. I am very curious and might consider it if it helps to improve the double eyelid surgery I had. Its been nearly 2 years I had my double eye lid surgery and to be honest with you, I really don't know if its as nice as when my eyes were single lid-ed. At least my eyes were very unique and so I have no IDEAS how I ever convinced myself to get double lid surgery. Is double lid surgery reversible? Anybody know?. The only problem I have with my single lid eyes were that whenever I am at a nite party, I bound to get one comment from someone about "you much be very tire" when I AM NOT. On top of being very curious how double lid eyes will change my life, I got somewhat sick of it getting comments from friends and that's why I had the surgery to open up my eyes a bit more. Currently my eye does not look that big anymore (after all the swelling are gone), therefore I rather have my single lid eyes back.

Thank you very much if anybody can advise on this.

Did you get the suture method double eyelid or the incisional one?
Did they also remove fat from your eyelids?

Do you mean that now with double eyelid, you still get comments that you look tired?

hihi i cant pm leh where did u do ur epi and how much did u pay? ^-^ did it hurt? heh

 

[want2change]

I had the suture method double eyelid. No I don't have that comment anymore but the other days, one of my co-worker said my eyes look SO TIRE. I was not tire. I just don't get it. I don't know if there was any fat remove and it never daunt on me about asking. I have very thick skin and the double lid surgery only did me a slight favour. It actually looka of fake in my opinion and so I am wondering if there is anything I can do about it.

If it is the suture method (DST) for double eyelid, it is reversible easily.

Yes.. Dr. Chuang performed magic epi on me. I think that is the reason why there is no scarring.

want2change,
I doubt they did fat removal because DST usually doesn't remove fat also... it's usually only done with incisional.

If you have excess skin on the lid, incisional generally gives a better (or more awake) look, as they can remove some skin during the process...
Lots of doctors now look down on fat removal on your eyelids unless they are really fatty and kind of bulgy... because as you age, your eyes will look yucky sunken looking as it loses some of this fat. This is one of the reasons why Asians age slower than Caucasians. That fat at the eyes gives a fresher, younger appearance. It's not only because thicker skin wrinkles slower...
