Revisional double eyelids surgery

From my visits to IOU, BIO, Teuim and Eyemagic, I thought all of the clinics have their own strengths when matched with the right patient. They all seem reputable. Teuim probably deals more with primary cases than revisions in this group.

Dr. Cho has the most experience. Dr. Kang and Dr. Kwon both have ten years in eye surgery. Dr. Lee is somewhere in between.

Compared to US doctors, Korean doctors have much more experience with the kind of issues for revisionary surgery in Asian eyelids. A surgeon in the US only has a limited number of Asian patients, and even fewer cases of revisions. I would estimate ten years surgical experience in Korea is exponentially higher when you factor in the number of patients and the range of issues.

Also can anyone recommend a good translator in Seoul who can speak English or Mandarin Chinese?

A few things that weren't mentioned in other reviews.

Most of the swelling went down pretty quickly, like in a few days. However, I did take Sinnech, bromelain, and vitamin C before and after and took other medication and shots at the clinic. I still have some slight swelling, but it's moderate. This is really different from my primary surgery.

Boy, I was really bruised! Literally my eyes resembled a panda the first day and then the bruising lightened up to a violet-pink color and remained. As it's slowly decreasing, I'm thinking it will last 3-4 weeks. Be prepared.

Fat grafting isn't necessary to lower the eyelids with the non-excision method. I ended up having it, but not everyone needs it.

You can't see the former crease line at all with the non-excision. It's kind of amazing. The bruising there is slowly dissipating and the first day post-op I could make out a faint hair-line scratch that has disappeared altogether.

There is a giant Hello Kitty on the ceiling in the operating suite. And the hallucinogen that you're given during part of the surgery makes you feel very zen. I saw beautiful colors and felt at one with the universe.

The dreamy state was of short duration, however, as I needed to participate for part of the surgery. I had to open and close my eyes several times so Dr. Kang could adjust the eye muscles on both eyes to match the height. I was supine for most of the surgery, but I also needed to be upright to be fully checked for the balance. When the adjustments were made, I could feel this part of surgery and there was pain. Ouch! My surgery was about 2.5 hours.

Upbeat Korean pop music was playing throughout my operation, which made me feel vaguely like a female star in a K-drama. Or maybe that was the hallucinogen at work. :giggles:

Like another forumer, I was dripping blood afterwards. I'm not particularly squeamish so it didn't bother me.

There were a lot of differences in the swelling between the left and right eye in the first week. And in different places. Fortunately, it started to even out after the first week.

Everyone at the IOU clinic is really welcoming and warm, from Dr. Kang to the nurses and reception desk. I saw them every day, and I was sad to say goodbye. The clinic's name, IOU, is apparently an abbreviation for "I lOve yoU."

Hi everyone!

I have been following this thread and I am finally going to Korea next month for my eyelid surgery! I am booked for mid feb and will be there til march 7th! Is anyone going around that time?

My story:
I have had a long history of failed eyelid surgery and really really am praying this is the last time I have to go through the torture. My first failed attempt was in shanghai where I went for non incisional method. It was hideous (droopy, uneven) that I went back in 2 weeks to do incisional. The incisional was beautiful at first then 1 year later the crease became faded and my eyelid became droopy -- the classic signs of ptosis became more and more apparent. I started having to wear eyelid tape in order to not have to strain when I opened my eyes. Finally after 3 years I went to Taiwan for a revision. It was really my fault for not doing more research, the Taiwanese doctor was recommended by a relative who only went to him for botox etc. he botched my eyes even worse! The scar lines are deep and uneven, although he fixed the ptosis on my right eye, the left was still droopy and loose giving my eyes an asymmetric appearance. and he made my crease line extend way longer than the outer corner of my eye that for the first 6 months it was a really obvious red scar extending like winged eyeliner. It was a horrible experience, especially when right after he completed the job and I was still on the operating table I told him that the left eye didn't fold correctly, it felt wrong. Him and his wife assured me it's nothing and to give it a few days, completely ignoring my concern. Turns out I was right.

I wanted to wait and to let my eyes heal before i do my next revision. It's been 2 years and this time I am going to Korea and not settling for anything less. I cannot afford another botched eye job or complication. After all my research so far, the clinics I'm consulting:

Teuim
IOU
Banobagi


I also want to do my nose tip plasty so I will consult with grand, dreams, JW, Cinderella.

Can somebody share their suggestions, input??
Btw, should I do my nose first or my eyes? I also want to raise my nose bridge (part between your eyes where sunglasses sit on your nose).

Hey November,

Mind to email me: [email protected] adn we can discuss about or share bout the revision. Im looking for a good Dr to revise my double eyelid as well. Anyway, now is only JW is on my 1st choice, photos they put on website is attract me, but not so many of photos. Seen here not many ppl comment about JW, i'm quite worry as well, cause i dont know it good or bad??? Cause Bk got bad n good reviews, Dr Kang is too expensive. Dr Cho also very expensive. Dr Kwon the result he put at website it not very attract me. OZ Dr Park the fees seem ok, but bad n good reviews as well. Haiz...my headache as well. Hope to get a good Dr soon. Now everyday when i look at my eyes, i really hate it.

Nowady it's quite hard to get a good dr??? Maybe not much of ppl need to revise the eyelid. im soooo.....unluckily cause i trust on that ppl who recommended me. Although the 2nd time i asked her whether i need to trust on that Dr again. She said not to worry, this Dr very good skill!!! Now.....the result is more worst. This kind of ppl only think how to make money or earn money frm others, i believe on God......something must return to her once day. Beside, where are you come from?
