No, I haven'... I am on holidays right now so I don't come to forum regularly. It will be my third eyelid op. My complaint now is that the crease is a bit too low. Maybe we should also look into Taiwanese docs, ya?

trust me. too low is better than too high. this is what i thought in the first place, fold too low thats why i went for revision. and now? i feel like a freak. "dont fix it if its not a problem"..i went through so much to understand the golden rule of ps.

I went to Seoul for my double eyelid revision surgery at BIO (ex Bandoeye).
I had the problems with my previous eyelid surgery, too high, too deep and asymmetry.

Now I am so unhappy.
The shape of my left eye is strange, the eyelid doesn't go up well and doesn't shut fully.
It seems as though too much skin is removed.

My right eye is not so bad. It's not the result I wanted, I wanted the shape of double eyelid outer line but they made inner type.
But much better than left.
I cannot believe the same doctor made both of eyes. I inquire to the doctor whether it's possible to revise it again, and am seeking another doctor also in this forum.

Hi michelin999,

Many thanks for your update.

I was originally planned to do my double eyelid revision surgery at BIO. Luckily I see your post before I make my trip to Korea.

My problem is similar as your previous, too high, too deep and scar very obvious.

I was told Dr.Cho from BIO is most famous surgeon for double eyelid revision in Korea. Is your revision done by him?

Do you mind share your photos through email? My email: [email protected]

Thank you very much for valuable comments.

Are your eyelids better today?

I'm also looking for a revision in Korea when I can afford it.. I'm really hoping end of this year or early next summer if anyone is interested in planning something out with me. I hate that I ever did this in the first place bc now I don't look or feel like myself...all this emotional and physical pain.. I regret everything and I just want to look as much like my original self as I can.. I'm so depressed. I want to get lid lowering and possible epi restoration. If anyone has some useful information or wants to share experiences, please pm or email me since I don't think I can pm anyone being a brand new member.

First of all, I am very thankful for everyone who posted their experiences here, so that I could find Dr. Kang from IOU(http://www.iou4u.com) to fix my very unsatisfactory eyelid surgery outcome.

Back in September, 2011, I had my first eyelid surgery to remove droopy eyelid skin from a doctor in LA. But, the outcome was very unsatisfactory.
My creases were totally asymetrical and incision lines sat at 9-9.5mm, which it looked totally unnatural.
I suffered from depression and emotional pain after the first surgery and cried almost every day, until I had my eyelid revision with Dr. Kang from IOU.

As I can read and speak Korean fluently, I was able to find a few clinics that are well reviewed at eyelid revision from the internet.
I emailed them whether the revision can be done at 4 months post-op from first surgery as I could not live another day crying and suffering emotionally.
Most of them told me that I need to wait at least 6 months to entertain the idea of revision just like three oculoplastic surgeons I saw here in the USA. But, 3 doctors in Korea told me that they may be able to do the revision at 4 months if the scar is not bad. To be precise, one doctor said he can do the revision for sure at 4 months post-op from first surgery. Other two doctors including Dr. Kang said they need to see me face to face to determine whether I can be a candidate for revision.

I decided to fly to Korea in January at the 4 months mark from first my eyelid surgery and had three consulations in Korea. All of doctors said that the revision can be done to lower the eyelids.
I was told that there are two ways to lower the high folds. One method is placing the new incision line lower than the original one and to remove the skin between, which I believe this is a typical way to lower the high folds. This method is good if there is enough skin.

Another method is placing the new incision line below the original one and undoing the original eyelid surgery with the fat grafting to prevent re-adhesion. This method does not need to remove any skin, which is good in case of skin shortage. As I did not have enough skin to remove, two doctors recommened the latter method to me.

Among the two doctors, Dr. Kang's fee was more expensive but, I chose Dr. Kang as I felt that he knew exactly what had to be done to my eyelids.
I wanted to get the job done right even if it cost more as I did not want to go through more horrible times.
My surgery lasted about two and half hours for lowering the eyelids, fat grafting, ptosis correction and lower eyelid blepharoplasty.

Right after surgery, I could see that my eyes looked way better than before even though I was so bruised. My creases were almost symetrical and lower. And, they were both more naturally tapered.

At about 2 weeks post-op, my eyelids looked so natural even though it was still bruised. The swelling went away really quickly.
When I left Korea after one month Post-Op, I still had some amount of bruising and I was really worried that it may not go away. But, Dr. Kang assured me that it would go away and I am so glad that it did.
I am almost 2 months post-op now from revision with Dr. Kang and most of my bruising is gone. Just very slight discoloration on one eyelid, which it is not noticeable.

If you are suffering from a bad eyelid surgery, I highly recommed Dr. Kang for you. He is very gentle, caring, great bedside manner and professional.
His office is full of Korean patients seeking eyelid revision surgeries. During follow-up visits, I have met many happy patients who had the eyelid revisions with him.
I was told that most of eyelids can be fixed and improved. So, please don't give up the hope. I thought that there was no hope for me until I met Dr. Kang.

I am so glad that I found him. For the first time in 6 months, I am not trying to hide my eyes from people seeing.
Finally, I am no longer crying because of my eyes.

If I need another eye work in the future, I now know where to go.
Please note that I am not working for Dr. Kang.

Hi Worries

I cannot PM you coz I am still a new member in purse forum. A few questions here. Does Dr Chung speak any english if I fly to Korea and seek consultation with him?(Btw, I am not a korean). Which hotel u stay, airport u drop off and transport u took to reach his clinic etc ? Also I am very impress with the photo you post up on the other thread regarding your revisional eyelids surgery. Feel that Dr chung may be very specialize with eye surgery. Is the fat graft for your forehead successful? Able to share a photo also if you don't mind? Actually I am looking at overfill fat injection near undereyes. Wanna see if he is very good in performing such revisional surgery. I had very bad experinece with eye bad removal(too much fat removed) and fat injection back on the undereye, again the fat is overfill causing it to look very weird now.

My email is [email protected]

Hi Binnies I replied your email Le.

Wow, seems like so many people are experiencing the high fold problem like me. Mine is also very deep. Anyway, just wanted to share that I'll be leaving for Korea next week and meeting with Kang, Banobagi (although I still don't know which doctor), and Dr Cho of BIO. My crease is currently at 10mm cut and shows 4mm when I look straight. Ugh!

I'm aiming for 2 mm of show and would love any comments/ideas on how much to lower my crease. I'll keep you all posted on the progression. Feel free to PM me for specific questions if you have any and hopefully I can share anything beneficial. For quicker responses, leave your email on the PM

Thanks in advance everyone and send your prayers my way!!!

Hi Huru,

After I returned from Korea my eyelid lowered somewhat, so unless you stare you can't really notice the uneveness. I'm quite happy with my lids now, although I do wish the dr had made my lids higher (more prominent) so they resembled my natural lids more.

1 year is better to see the real results, even at 7months there were changes. Those who did it once and got it right are lucky.

hi Sad girl,

Thanks for sharing. I can understand how u feel. My primary double eye lids surgery was done locally by a doc who didnt explain much about the operation he is going to do.

We have all the right to know. I was ask to chose stiching or cutting. I chose cutting. And he never explain the kind of incision he is doing.

He didnt tell me what kind of incision he is going to do. is it full or mini or partial. What kind of doc is that.

Waste my sgd3000 and I will never go back there again!

exactly! the doctor didnt explain much about the surgery. if he did! i would have said NO. i wonder if we went to the same doctor since i also did it in singapore. sighh
