egg_tartlet Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hi Bella, I didn't do eyes. It was only rhino that made my eyes so swollen! Had mini V and rhino only. At 3.5 weeks, when I talked, it was still very unnatural. I did mouth exercises everyday after 2 weeks. But that only applies if you had chin surgery I think...

miaann Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hey Karime, I am doing OK - hanging in there. My face looks so different that I begin to miss my old face The good thing is, I dont think I look "worse", I just look different! I think I wasn't that prepared to be this different. I think the eyes did it all.. especially the swelling will take a while to go away. To make matters worse, i did not tell anyone that I was having the surgery, so the thought of facing the real world scares me now. Sometimes, i wonder if it would have been better to just do nose + mini V instead of eyes and mini V. The eyes just makes such a dramatic change to your face, that I myself is shocked! Anyway, what is done is done and I just have to continue to live with it... taking it one day at a time, facing one person at a time and then see how goes it The swelling for the eyes did not go down significantly - however, I changed my contacts to the "big eye" contacts type to make my eyes look less weird. Here's a latest pic of myself today at 3.5 week post op. To those of you that wants a "better version of me" and not a transformation, I would suggest to keep to the conventional methods first if you could. i.e. better make up skills, more big eye contacts, lose weight via working out, etc. Having P-S if you need to - perhaps consider other more subtle surgeries. i think a nose job or chin/ mini V enhances your look without changing your loooks too much.

egg_tartlet Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I think lash extensions help with eyes a lot! Can't live without it nowadays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg_tartlet Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hi MiaAnn, I think your eyes look great (Minus the swelling), looks a little mixed if you know what I mean, beautiful deep set eyes. I went through your stage around 4 weeks, I thought I looked different, but not necessarily better. I believe you will eventually love your new look, it just takes time to heal and get used to. I did just the nose and mini V, and I equally look as different, can't get away with I lost weight. I tell people I had fillers in my nose and botoxed my face to make it smaller. I would recommend non prescription glasses (frames only) They did wonders for me for the first few weeks, it takes away a lot of the weirdness. Can I have a look at your eyes before surgery?

miaann Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 To all of you looking at the P-S Before and After pics, One thing to take note, a lot of the "After" pics have been beautified in the sense of having better make up, smile, fake lashes, big eye contact + and most of them have been air-brushed to make them look much better. So, I'd advice you, while taking B&A into consideration to shortlist the clinics, let it Not be your final decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bella147 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hiya egg_tartlet Sorry I think i wasn't clear in my last post. I know u didn't have eyes done (u don't need it!!! ). What I meant to say was something like, since having nose done does swell up the eyes, I'm questioning whether or not doing the 2 ops together(nose & eyes) is a good decision. thanks for the link and your update - much appreciated. seeing recoveries like yours make me feel more secure that it's not all doom & gloom!!! I'm not too concerned about the actual surgery, it's the recovery period which scares me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miaann Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hey Egg, I have attached a copy of my Before pic. Yes, I agree with you - its a little caucasion like... while others may like this, I dont think its natural for Asian. And I do think that I am getting through a phase.... I think the swelling will eventually go down and I will like my results more. I actually think the doc did a great job on the eyes. This P-S journey is so emotionally challenging!!!! At least you could say you had fillers and botox, but I can't say I had fillers into my eye lids!! LOL sigh, I will have to come clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg_tartlet Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hey, I honestly think that your eyes look good after, (again, minus the swelling..) I hear people usually look normal after 2 weeks, did you ask Doctor or clinic why you are still so swollen at 3.5 weeks? Is the lid of the eye swollen? Is it still painful? I had a triple eye lid for 3 weeks after my rhino, and I use both heat and cold compress, and nothing worked, I just had 3 creases.. making one eye bigger than the other. In the end, I used those double lid tapes for a day, and it was back to one crease. But before the 3 creases appeared, it was very swollen, and I found heat compress works really well..

crystallinesnow Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Omg, that reply from ID is so effed up. -_- Sumobaby you must feel awful! T_T Things like that do happen alot, the hospitals do do it for the money afterall, which sucks. When there are problems, they just brush it under a rug and hope you go away.

anrisu Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hi everyone! I'm new to the forums, and I'm so glad that I stumbled across this thread! The concept of plastic surgery and getting a new face is so scary, but you girls make it seem a lot less intimidating. I plan to do my eyes, nose, and v-line sometime next year. Originally, I was thinking of doing nose and v-line together, but I read that you should do the operations separately to avoid breathing problems. So now I think I'll just get eyes and nose, then do v-line another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
