Hello everyone!

I am in Seoul right now and I have consulted several clinics for my revisional double eyelid surgery and ptosis correction. Currently it is down to item and teuim and I am about to explode from the stress.

I am going to do
-incisional eyelid surgery
-incisional ptosis correction

Anyone can give me any advice? I read through all 41 pages on this thread and still can't make up my mind! Need advice 😢😢

Item or teuim?

i think two weeks is a perfect amount of time!
yeah no one has noticed any scarring when i'm looking at them so it's fine!
have you planned a date to go yet?

Hi jackielove, may I know whether your first DES was incisional or non-incisional, and did you do incisional for your revision with Dr Kwon? Are all revision DES incisional? Thanks and hope to hear more good news about your recovery soon!

Michelleee, good luck! For me I would make the decision based on the doctor that seems the most experienced yet humble, and one that has many before/after photos. I previously went with a doctor who seemed overly confident and only had a few before/afters that were many years old, so to me now it's a warning sign. It's tough but the best you can do is follow your gut!!

Hey Pebbles,

How did your stitch removal go? Did everything work out alright in the end?

I'm just over 2 weeks post op from Dr.Kwon at Teuim and I had a fairly pleasant recovery. No complications as far as I can tell. (Ptosis+epi+DES incis)

I'm quite satisfied with the results so far, but I'm told it takes over 6 months to settle. I feel quite lucky as there doesn't seem to be any sign of the surgery like scarring. It was mainly one day/night of mild to significant discomfort, by day two it was not a problem at all.

I did use their PINK icepacks like crazy for the first two days and I had minimal swelling by the third. I found I could tolerate it directly on the skin and kept cycling them throughout the night (Just listened to some tunes and I couldn't really sleep anyway) and just kept the ointment/gel across all the tender areas which also soothed any discomfort when blinking etc.

You're at the same point I am . Do you still use the icepacks/gel thing? They didn't mention it when I went for my last checkup before I left though they said to keep opening my eyes/looking up whenever I get the chance.

 

[jayks]

Oh congrsts on getting through, hope you're recovering well. I'm no longer using ice packs. Swelling wasnt too bad except for first few days. But that's when its most important to ice anyway

 

[blue222]

Most of my swelling did go down the first couple days. There's still asymmetry between my eyes but Dr. Kwon said it was mostly swelling. Do you know the reason they said to avoid phone/tv/screens?

Hi lovely people,

I would like to share my experience from Teuim, I got my eye jobs done, and the result is being quite good so far, especially I didn't quite get swollen, ahaha. I am still bit shy, but I truthfully hope everyone can benefit from it.

Firstly, before the surgery, I was searching on the internet, asking around etc, and it seems Teuim had a very good reputation, and good for epi, cuz I mainly want to do epi. So I called them and talked to the Chinese translator, she is super nice, and not pushy at all, and sincerely treating people. So I booked my consultation.

Then, on the consultation day, I met Dr Kwon, the star in eyes surgery, I was so "excited", and couldnt really calm down for a while... It was the first clinic I went and didnt rlly know what was going on =.=... I didnt remember exactly what we did during the consultation, but I said I didn't want dramatic result and want to get a horizontal line at the bottom after the epi. Dr Kwon also used a metal wire to push my lid up, and I saw the result was quite good, and I didnt ask about the scar issue etc probably cuz I trust him...Sorry, this sounds so naive, but the facts come out I was right.

After the consultation, I was taken to discuss the price. I felt okay with the price and they gave me some discounts, and it was quite reasonable, I mean, that was in my point of view, I did not go to other clinics, I just knew the general prices from the forum before, the most important thing was that I did not get any feelings like avarice, on the contrary, I am thinking if I have more money, I want to pay them more and they deserve it, sincerely! This is the real feeling I am having at the moment although you might think I am wired..

Then after done with the price, they asked if I can get the surgery right after, I said Yeah, why not.. At the beginning of the surgery, the moment when I got anesthetic in, my world turned dark in one second and later felt like I was on a Roller Coaster ?! During the surgery, I regained bit consciousness , and I can hear people are talking with each other, and they were so relax, that moment how I wish I could understand Korean, so I might not be nervous from the surgery. Almost to the end, I was little bit nervous, the translator hold my hands which made me feel so warm. The last step was putting the tapes on my eyes, and I found I looked like “Avatar” with the tapes, didnt get much swollen though, it was around 7pm.

I was told it was better to sit while sleeping in the first evening, and take some medicine and use ice bag etc, so I just followed basically everything they told me.

Day 2, I was little bit swollen because I was lost on the way to the clinic to tear my tapes, and then called a taxi which was super hot and resulted my eyes looked bit wired.

Day 3, 4, got phototherapy from the clinic on Day3, and tbh, they were not swollen much, at least they were much better than what I have seen from most web before, I can still recognize myself...

Day 5 Took out the stitches, and everything looked great except there were still some dark circles, I asked Dr Kwon, and he said they were bruises, will be disappeared in less than 2 weeks. Bruises were maybe the only part I am worrying now, I hope it can be disappeared soon.

I was suppose to stay in Seoul for 2 weeks but seems like I no longer need to stay.

There is another thing you might be interested, I saw many korean patients around during the week, so I think it should be very popular in native , and the clinic is very cozy, cuz it is mainly for eyes and two jaw surgeries, so it could be smaller compared with others although I didnt know what are the sizes for the others .

I can say I spent amazing 6 days in Seoul, I do hope this post can benefit some of you guys, and I still feel very grateful for Dr Kwon, I feel I am so lucky to get eyes done by him, and I will keep updating. Feel free to talk with me, I hope I can be helping

hi Hawthorn tree,I am considering Teuim for double eyelid surgery and if it is no trouble did you get parallel or tapered crease? Is it possible for you to send me photos of your eyelids by private message? Please help me out because I have no idea if Teuim is good or not and I am a foreigner so I have no other way of researching,Thank you xx

Hi dear, dont need to worry about the scar, i had full incisional eyelid revision surgery done in teuim (previously in regen). its 4mths mark now and there is no obvious scar.
as for the crease height, absolutely no worry.. when i just stepped out, i thot the height was perfectly fit what i want, and in 4mths time, it drooped alot, i wish dr. kwon had made them higher..
hope the info helps. just stay relax for your healing time.

i am going back teuim on feb 7 for fat grafting, no experience at all for fat graft at teuim for full face, any one had relevant experience before? tks

Hi, just wondering if anyone here has any experience with epicanthoplasty revision at Teuim? Otherwise, any procedures involving the inner-eye corners in general?

I'm looking to have my epi revised (to reduce the scars and make my eyes more symmetrical), but not reversing my epicanthoplasty per se. I'm most worried about scarring, so it would be great if I can get feedback from you guys.

 

[lisa-cheng]

thanks to share info. ^^

Has anyone with ptosis correction notice one eye with more eye opening power than the other? Does it become more relaxed over time? I always have had asymmetric eyes, but I feel that after ptosis correction, the bigger eye opens too strongly and it looks even more uneven. I had it done in the beginning of April with Teuim.

I have the same problem. When I asked about it, they said it should even out in time after the swelling is gone, which can take a few months. I'm only about a month post but I think I'm gonna forever have one eye a little wider than the other. I already have an asymmetrical face (most people do) so I don't think it's too noticeable.

@blue222 which method did you choose for ptosis correction? Did you get any other procedures with them? Are the results natural? Would you recommend teium?
Sorry for so many questions, I'm deciding whether to visit teium or elsewhere that's why.

On their website "vivid eye" for mild ptosis is suggested and I would like to have more information about this procedure. Any people on this forum been to teium using their "vivid eye" procedure?

Have other people on this forum also has asymmetric results with teium?
Does it get better over time or does it mean a revision is necessary?

Thanks
