hopefulbliss Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I believe that ptosis correction could be undone by the same procedure that you got it, non incision, so you don't need to do full incision but I would consult with your previous surgeon as he knows your surgery procedures best. What is it that you don't like about the ptosis, did it make your eyes too wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north_star Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I am not happy with the depth and shape of the crease.. I know some more swelling will go down over time but I doubt that has much effect on the depth and shape. I want to change it but am afraid to go through another revision surgery.. feeling kind of trapped now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasian Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I had ptosis surgery in 2011, and my problem was there wasn't much change. Perhaps you can consult with the doctor that originally did it and see what he recommends? I plan to redo mine when I arrive in Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjiajia Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I thought ptosis is to correct the amount you can open your eyes, making it appear bigger? So it targets the muscle there that lifts it.. So if you are unhappy about the double eyelid crease maybe better to look into double eyelid revision? Did you do incisional or non incisional ptosis?

north_star Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Have you consulted your doctor on how it will be redone? Is it via incisional? And was yours incisional? Yeah I will consult with my doctor again in a few months time, if it doesnt get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north_star Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Mine was non-incisional. The ptosis was done with double eyelid so I guess if I were to change the crease the ptosis correction has to be redone too..? but I am not sure if I want to do ptosis again because there isnt improvement in my uneven eye problem and the tight feeling I am getting from it is tiring out my eyes..

zwc Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Changing the crease does not necessarily redoing the ptosis. Just like if one is to get a double eyelid surgery without ptosis. Ptosis is not only to lift to make the eye bigger. It is also can be done to lower. It is a procedure where the doctor manipulate the levator muscle by lifting it or stretching it. Lifting is to make the eye bigger and stretching is to lower. Stretching it is to lower ptosis over correction. I have never heard of tightness feeling due to ptosis. I have heard of people complaining of tightness or eyes feeling tired from crease that are placed too high which cause your levator muscle to work harder to open your eyes. But also wait a few months to see if the tightness is feeling you are experiencing is related to your eyelid still being swollen or water retention. I had my surgery in October and my eyes felt the tightness and tiredness due to my eyelid still swollen. It is starting to feel more normal this month but I can tell that there are still water retention on my eyelid. Time is your friend in this case. Do your research while you are waiting for your eyes to settle. Your eyes will still be changing and moving for about 8 months possibly 1 year from your original surgery date. These are all information I got from several consultations I did with different doctors here since I was not happy with how my eyes look after my surgery in October. I hope this helps.

beware1234 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 In the year 2014, i made a greatest mistake that i ever make in my life. i plan to have a double eyelid surgery, hence i search online and dig all the info i want. one website came across my eye caught my attention, cause it is google sponsored and appeared on the top rank of search result. I dont dare to have such operation in my country cause i believed that other country like taiwan , japan , korea master such skill much more better. Due to language barrier, i choose to have my surgery done in Taiwan. Because of their well desgined website, with all the eye catching pictures and info. They slogon " 100% female doctors for all female needs " Finally i reached their clinic in taiwan as proposed date. Their clinic is crowded, but only 1 female doctor for face plastic surgery and the rest is for slimming. The Female doctor is Doctor Wong, a totally skill-less doctor, only money minded. Her skill was totally a piece of ****. 0% professional Why i say so ? because after waited for 1 hour, she spend only less that 5 mins for the entire consultation progress including cease height demo, then ask u go out make payment and wait for operation. The entire surgery i was in sleep, after wake up i already noticed there is huge diff between my both eye + red blood in my eye white part. Doctor claimed that it is because of diff level of recovery . it will be balanced after full recovery. After one month , yes it takes one month for a normal sewing type DES ( non cut type ) for heal, u guys can imagine how hard i going pass thru this process. When u afraid of the failure surgery, yes after one month, confirmed by local doctor, i have a failed surgery, stiching type double eyelid, one eye ok but another is totally incredible tight abnormal height. Thanks for the ****ty skill less doctor wong. After i contacted other professional doctor and search thru online , i have my eye revised . The initial operation only cost USD1.2k , but the revision need 5.6k, think twice ! because revision need to be done by a really skillful and experience doctor. I post this because i dont want other white rat suffered like me Beware of the "pink color website " , which ranked top in search engine. Everything comes with a reason.

smitten_kitten Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 HI Everyone, So before reading my post, I think this # link is a better read lol There are some super helpful members there and I don't think I can outdo them. I actually feel a little embarrassed lol.. Anyhoo, after reading their posts in the link above, it sounds like I need to do the following: 1) save more money than I actually need 2) pick 3 clinics that I like best: currently it is Banobagi, CheongdamU, Opera, (possibly JW and Jaedon also). 3) book minimum of 2 weeks in Korea to stay. Upon arriving, consult with atleast 3 hospitals and pick the favourite place + doctor 4) attend consult and surgery the next day 5) rest, relax, play, shop, get check ups and take stitches out then fly home. Thoughts??I am leaving my compiled list here in case it is still useful for anyone.
