Revisional double eyelids surgery

[mingliang]

weick said: ↑

I'm not sure. At the first consultation and the final consultation before surgery he said he'll make mine higher than 6mm. He suggested it because he said over time the skin will sag and eyelid will get smaller. But after surgery it came out to smaller than 5 mm and it's actually getting even smaller. I asked after the surgery for a week what mm he made my eyelids. He avoided the question many times and finally told me he didn't take / write down the final measurements and he didn't know. I was surprised he would forget to do something in 30 min and I had entrusted my eyes to him.

My personal experience with Dr Kang is that although he was nice with good manners his work seemed sloppy and careless. I have a hairline split at the end of my eyelid which is very weird looking and line is very thick and visible (I'm 6 months post op). Also he didn't stitch me up properly which caused a small polyp on my skin. I went back to Korea few months later and he cut it away but I still have a bump where the stitching was sloppy. I don't have keloid skin and don't scar easily and my line from previous surgery was hardly visible but this time the line is thick and long with split ends.

As another forumer said he is not well known in Korea. He is overrated on this forum and is using that to overcharge foreign patients. I'm Korean have researched on Korean sites and have friends who have researched a long time for revisional surgery and they've never heard of Dr Kang at IOU.

He didn't botch thing up for me. Just that nothing came out the way he said it would. Other doctors said they could improve my eyes without fat grafting since it's dangerous. Dr Kang insisted on it and all the fat went away. My eyes are not that even and on one side my skin hangs over my eyelid too much. He said I will probably have to revise that eye but I'm too scared to go back to him.

For anyone who is thinking of going to IOU I would suggest broadening your research outside of this forum to be safe and set your expectations right.

Everyone watch this link about the documentary of many patients' lives are being destroyed by ID hospital, revealing the secret of the lies of dr park- his promise for being the surgeon of the surgery but swopped someone else to do the surgery instead! And when the surgery failed the patient was offered a very small amount of money and forced to sign an agreement for not spreading the words out!! This is exactly what happened to me!!!

Hi everyone.
I had my eyelid surgery 7 months ago. My eyelids came out deep, high, and sausagy. I am Korean living in US and I came to Seoul about two weeks ago to get my eyelids fixed. So far, I visited about 10 clinics that specialize in eyelid revisions. I speak Korean fluently so I was able to get some information from local Koreans/Korean forums. Unfortunately, Dr. Kang is not really well known here in Seoul, and there were some bad reviews of him in Korean forums (Naver). I had a consultation with him, and I thought he was just okay. I wasn't that impressed with him and I thought he was definitely overrated in this forum.

Also, a local Korean gave me a blacklist of clinics you should avoid in Seoul. It's in Korean, but if you want to take a look at the blacklist, you can email me at [email protected] and I can send you a copy. From looking at the blacklist, some big clinics you should avoid are BK, Grand, EyeMagic (lee heeeemoon), face line, wonjin, chloe, and nobleless.

Here are some doctors that I would suggest. These doctors are much older, with almost 30 years (or more) of experience. They also specialize in eyelid revisions.

Dr. Lee
www.jueunps.com

Dr. Ha
www.hadoctor.co.kr

I forgot this doctor's name.. but the oldest doctor at Secret
www.secrettps.com

I would suggest Dr. Shin too, but I thought he was a little too cocky. However, I was pretty impressed with him as well.
Dr. Shin

I will keep updating on this forum throughout my stay here. I'm seeing two more doctors, and I hope to make a decision by the middle of January.

Read a few more posts.
In my opinion, most clinics mentioned here are quite famous in Korea. But famous clinics do not always guarantee results. But that's probably better than clinics that are not known at all? In my consultations, some popular clinics mentioned here are unheard of in Korea, especially Ozclinic.
With the surgeons I picked, especially Dr. Ahn, when I mention him to other surgeons they recognise HIS NAME. His clinic is ALWAYS busy. IOU is always BUSY too.. with lots of Koreans..I actually hardly saw any international clients in Dr. Ahn's clinic.
Don't trust what the internet say completely. I also avoid clinics which websites had caucasians or weird looking "Korean turned Caucasians" as their models. It clearly shows you what they think about oriental beauty or preserving the orientalness of your face which is very important. If not, like me, you'll suffer such a huge identity crisis.

With epi, I think if you really need it, like if your epicanthic folds are so big that we cannot see even the medial sclera of your eye, maybe a fix is needed. But if it's not, after epi, you can end up looking like a different race. For Koreans, Japs and Chinese, I realise epi makes people look Phillipino, Thai, Malay and Indonesians. I am now in Seoul and I see a lot of Thai looking Koreans around.. seriously. Each race is beautiful but if we turn into another race because of PS... we will just look unnatural and weird.

I agree that one should do more research especially for revision cases. When I was doing research for an aunt on eyelid surgery, aside from reading this forum, I was able to communicate with someone who had a not so pleasant outcome with Dr. Kang. Her eyelids were lowered more than she wanted and her crease were thick and uneven.

Hello. Dr. Kang at IOU can lower creases without skin excision. I will need to have that done because I don't have enough skin to cut out. I will also be having scar revision done at the same time.

May I know more about the scar revision on the eyelids? I was under the impression that a sliver of skin along with the scar will need to be removed when doing a scar revision.

I just had my eye revision with Dr. Kang. I have been waiting to post my outcome until more swelling and bruising goes away. As my case was extremely bad my expectation was not as high as may be for many on this forum, I did not expect Dr. Kang nor any other Doctor to be able to give me perfect eyes. I just wanted to look normal again. I will say that I could see a huge improvement right after the surgery. About the scar revision. He releases the scar and stretches the skin. Fat grafting is done so to prevent re-adhesion. He did excise some of my old scars on the sides of my eyes as they were very wide from my previous surgery. I will not further comment on my results until I am further along my healing. Tomorrow I do get my stitches out.

hi jgar, i am in korea too. can you give me your email add? i'd like to ask you some questions.

 

[mingliang]

Since we have good reviews here on Dr. Kang. The only downsize is it could change to too small creases. Could anybody who have done with Dr.Kang know if there is another chance to go back to him and make the crease higher later if you are not happy with too small crease?

Highly appreciate it !

I just met up with Dr. Kang from IOU as he was going to be my #1 surgeon that I planned on seeing. My heart feels like he is the best for revisional surgery and told me that there is a 95% chance that it will be successful. He was spot on telling me my crease is 6.5 mm and would look best at 5mm. I consulted with allooooottttttt of surgeons and Dr. Kang seems the most honest. You can just tell he cares for you and will do his best. Every surgeon I had a consult with told me my case is VERY VERY difficult for eyelid revision, but Dr. Kang assured me my surgery will be what im looking for and he will fix my overly swollen sausage lids. If anyone is looking for a revision Dr.... Dr. Kang is the guy. Ive been researching for a whole year and have only heard positive things about him. Other Dr.'s know who he is too, hes very famous. When I came to Korea I was expecting the price to be aloooott higher then what I was quoted at. Yea its on the high side, but not compared to what people are paying on purseforum. I had my cousin (local Korean) with me who did all the talking. They really do charge you more if you're a "foreigner" because they want to make money off of you. I really did get mine for cheap with Dr. Kang. I also stopped at Pintagui which is across the street, my heart didn't feel that Dr. would perform a good revision surgery and tried pushing lateral canthoplasty, lower bleph, and other things I didn't need. I wouldn't recommend going there.

Hi Thinkpink, how are your eyes from IOU? How much did you pay for revision eyelid surgery? I am looking for a highly skilled and patient Doctor.

 

[sato1]

How much did Dr. Chloe charge for eyelid revision?

Hello there! Thank you for the great information. Can you tell me if Dr. Sewhan Rhee from LIFE is on the blacklist? Or have you heard anything about his work on revisional eyelid surgery. Thanks a bunch!
