jin77 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowcup Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 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. 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.

vinna Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
