Revisional double eyelids surgery

My before and after...
Did incisional double eyelid + epicanthoplasty locally in SG dec 2018.
Mine was revision blepharoplasty because first time blepharoplasty left me with a deep incisional scar on both eyelids, and the folds were gone.

Thus in the revision blepharoplasty, doctor created a fold to hide my old scars so my old scars are not noticeable anymore with my new double eyelid. So i can't choose how high or low I want my crease to be, But nonetheless the crease is exactly what I want. I only asked for deeper and longer crease which he assured me he had done so for me.

I'm so happy with my results and the doctor is extremely understanding and listen to his patients. The post op care he provides is top notch, one of the best doctor I've come across in terms of attitude and professionalism! After surgery, doctor was there for me before I was discharged, reassuring me everything was well.

Before the surgery, I had thought to go Korea for my double eyelid too like everyone else. The reason I decided to go with this SG doctor is because I knew I would be safe in his hands. I had done another surgery with him prior to blepharoplasty which unfortunately had an infection (not his fault). His team responded immediately when I messaged, and doctor personally came down in an hour time (even though it was a Sunday and he was off duty) to address my infection and changed my wound. I still remembered his words were "I just don't want to have any regrets later on." From then on, doctor and his team followed up with me daily in his clinic until my infection was clear. Hence thats the reason I took a leap of faith and did my double eyelid with him because I realised how important it is to be able to find your doctor should there be any complications post op.

So if you gals wanna did in Korea, please be careful since there are always so many horror stories of surgeries gone wrong and doctors not taking responsibility blah blah. I feel Korea is not necessarily cheaper after taking in the flight, accommodation and other unnecessary procedures that you may get coaxed into doing. Plus most of the times, these doctors are seeing too many patients in a day and unlikely to be able to fully commit to you. What if you suffer from complications too and you still need to travel all the way back to Korea? SG has good doctors too!

Do anybody know any doctor revision outer Conner? Since I open outer Conner my eyes start very dry, and uncomfortable, please advise!

Shiyin1012,, can you please share if you had lateral canthoplasty revision???
the dry eye syndrom is pretty serious condition, very big discomfort and I am trying to understand if it can be fixed by latheral canthoplasty revision? or eyedrops only... I think I have read somewhere on the forum there were very simple surgery to reverse lateral canthoplasty but successful.

Hi all,

Posted this in another thread too, but here's up my update,

I had my double eyelid revision with Dr. Kang in October, it has now been about a little over three months since the procedure.

Firstly, Dr. Kang and his staff are very nice and welcoming, Dr. Kang is nice, soft spoken, and does understand some english. During your consultation he has ample pictures to show you on eyelid height, some photos on scarring and revision photos that show both eyes. It can be a little misleading that the photos on his website only show one eye and does not show them looking down to see the scar or his stitch work which is also an important factor in deciding on your revision. Most MDs will say though that the success of a revision or double eyelid surgery would be what your eyes look like when they're open.

My issue - I had a very high crease with puffy tired looking eyes. During the consultation, we discussed lowering the crease and reducing the sausage look and fold appearance. Now, 3 months post-op I will say my crease height is much lower than before, it's still a bit sausage looking, but I wasn't naturally born with double eyelids to begin with so I'm satisfied with how they look when eyes are open. I think I am still healing with the scar so it's difficult to assess what the outcome will be. Right now scarring is still present, a little bumpy in some parts, tender and sensitive to touch at times -- I could be a slow healer. His method is different than other peoples, I don't know how to explain it but the way he excises the scar and stitches doesn't create a fold line like the first double eyelid surgery. I don't know if I'm the biggest fan of this method because while it does make the scar flat, the way it looks from a mirror with your eyes looking down is a bit strange. It could be because my scar is still healing and recovering, so I'll wait to give a final assessment until 6 months to a year mark.

Overall though, Dr. Kang did lower my crease by a lot, he is capable of taking a high crease and lowering it. Symmetry and scarring is questionable but it's a still a bit too early to say. I think my double eyelids were asymmetrical to begin with and so the end result now is still a bit of assymetry, not sure. Anyways, hopefully this is helpful to all you ladies on your search.

It's hard to find a surgeon who is good at double eyelid revision in Korea especially when we do not live there and rely on forums and sites like this. Dr Kang is a popular md on this forum, however I'm sure he's not the only one in Korea who can do double eyelid revisions. It's hard to say without knowing the language and diffiult to know if they've had enough experience for your procedure, but they're out there I'm sure. Consult and ask around if possible and during the consultation, ask for pictures, the more pictures they have, the better. It will help to know exactly what kind of procedure and results you want and ask the md what their stitches looks like, whether they're going to excise any skin AND/OR fat and photos of scar healing. Good luck and feel free to ask me any questions.

congratulations on a mostly successful surgery. just wondering, after your crease was lowered, did you notice if the height between your eyebrow and your eye increased or decreased? basically, if he excised any skin. my main concern right now is that there's too little eyelid space because my crease is too high.

Hey guys and gals. So I'm patiently waiting for the day to get my stiches removed to do the revision to undo the attachment to levator. I spent a lot of time researching today and I'm having a lot of doubts because it seems that operating on a fresh incision/surgical site is not a good idea. I know my eyes will still have swelling and a little bruising when I do undergo the anticipated revision...does anyone have any insight on this?

Also, I did epicanthoplasty as well and I've realised that the inner corners are uneven. One eye has more skin/fold, whereas the other has more inner corner showing and is sharper looking. I showed my doctor photos of this and apparently the assymetrical epicanthoplasty can be revised at 1 week post-op as well. They will reopen the inner fold area where they will cut a little skin off to match the other eye and then re-stitch.

Is this a really, really bad idea? I wonder if my surgeon is just giving me false hope or if they are actually willing to go through with this early and immediate revision cos it would be really unprofessional if they were lying to me. I'm scared sh**less about whether this will ruin my eyes even more or whether it will actually minimise/undo some of the effect of the initial surgery and make me more satisfied. What do u all think???

hey, did you end up going through with this? if so how did it turn out?

Hi There,

I am planning to do the revisions double eyelid surgery and ptosis at the end of Sep.

It’s hard for me to make a decision between Shinseung and Yonsei first.

I consulted MVP before. Doctor said I would need Incisive double eye lid and perhaps Ptosis. But will consider during surgery. But I don’t think they can make my eye balance because doctor said I would need to practice to open my eyes using eye muscle instead of forehead after surgery.

I have 60-70% confidence of Shinseung. I had been there for consultation. Doctor said I need Incisive double eye lid surgery, ptosis plus fat injection.I can feel doctor did have expertise but they don’t have many similar cases as mine and they charge quite high price compare to Yonsei first and MVP.

Yonsei first is the one that recommended
by another clinic and they have loads of successful stories posted in the website. I haven’t been there but they replied in Kaoko very promptly with better English. And lower price.

Any comments or feedback?

Thanks.

MVP? I heard the price good, but the Korean girl died from anesthesia, the clip is scary, the surgeon and coordinator/nurse even laughing and watching she died. Google that clip and see, type "mvp plastic surgery death" to read and watch

Hi, The lady replied in Kakao talk has a better written English than other clinic. But when I met her, she speaks fair English. As I confirmed the surgery one week before surgery, she asked me whether I can speak Mandarin or English. On the day I arrived clinic for surgery, they hired a Mandarin translator for me. They explained all the circumstance for me, in my case, there is a high chance that I couldn’t completely close my eye lid, leaving some white eye ball but it won’t affect anything. I went for it. The doctor gave me so much confidence. This is only one of the cases he has been dealing with. He also showed the similar case before and after photo. As my surgery is not on the list for tax refund, so the clinic deducted the price for me. It is now day 2 after my revisions eyelid surgery with Ptosis. So far it went quite well. I wish my swell and bruise go away very soon. Any questions, please feel free to ask.

Hi there

So I will be going probably in Sept for revision des. Could anyone with the same experience share their experience and gave me some opinion?

So I had done non incision double eyelid and result is great (its not a botched jobs) but recently one of my eyelid seemed to come undone and the crease lowered and the eyelid line looked like its fading. I am thinking about going for incision des this time for a more permanent result, anyone had a recommendation? I just hope the doctor follow my non incision eyelid line so there would not be too much changes, is it possible to get the same (or close enough) eyelid like when I do non incision? I am also considering epi but still not sure since many mixed views about epi.

Thank you
