tyler_durden Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I like how your right eye turned out. It looks great. Left eye has slightly surprised look for me, but still look nice. As for the asymmetry, I suppose there are risk of that, when you do ptosis correction. Hopefully it will get better with time.
jillyqueen Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I agree with u actually. I initially objected to ptosis cause my left eye didn't look like it needed one. Sigh I really hate this. I thought that I wouldn't have to care so much after the surgery if I chose a good doc. Feeling a little disappointed.
tyler_durden Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Ugh, honestly, just talk with Dr. Kwon again and ask what he thinks. From what I read, incisional method may take 3 months to look natural and 6 months to be permanent. So don't be bothered too much. It probably will get better. Plus the difference is only slight. Overall I still think he is the doctor of my choice, if I end up going to Seoul to have surgery, regardless his fixation on giving DES + Ptosis + Magic Epi as a combo solution. FYI, I read from different doctors that if you wanna achieve a tapered eyelid but close to parallel, which in my humble opinion is the best, then DES + Mini Epi is the way to go. Past few days, I start to really dig Japanese plastic surgeon for various reasons, although the cost is sometimes almost double of Korean surgery. Ughhh, so hard to decide on the surgeon...
jillyqueen Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Yeah don't get me wrong. I have no regrets going to him. Just that it sucks that I have to deal with multiple issues, unlike many other patients. The epi scars+assymetry+ bloodshot eyes (at the start) are examples. Mine is supposed to only be partial incisional btw.
tyler_durden Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Right, supposedly, but I remember you said Dr Kwon suggested full incisional, and eventually it looked like a full incisional case. For the latest pictures, do you have any make up on? Anyway, in any case, I think your eyes look good. btw do you have kakao, wechat or whatsapp? I am still waiting for Dr. Kwon to reply my email...
jillyqueen Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 No makeup for the latest pics. I have kao kao
oryza Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Hi Jilly, dun worry too much about the symmetry. It is only natural that one's eye are not identical. Even before Ur surgery, your eyes ain't exactly same too. For now. I think Ur new eyes looks great, much better than before and That's great! You really have beautiful eyes now: )
oryza Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 My epi scars are obvious too. Let's just put the cream diligently and may it go away soon.
jillyqueen Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Orzya, I hate to tell u this. But I think the cream is the one that causes the redness. During the past week I forgot to put it on. And my scars faded. My mum was amazed. But last night I applied it.. And when I woke up the next morning it became really red again. So I think it's the cream. U can try and test it for yourself. Maybe it's just my skin reaction to the cream.
lanvinfiend Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Hi jilly, I think your ryes are beautiful, and the asymmetry is very very mild, not obvious at all. I know the feeling of doing a potential decision sucks. Are you more comfortable with your eyes with makeup on?
jillyqueen Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I actually don't like putting on heavy makeup at all. Eyeliner included. And in my opinion, the purpose of surgery is to reduce the makeup required.. Also I think I expected more because this is a highly reputable surgeon we are talking about.... A professor... Not a young doc.
jillyqueen Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 My gut feeling is that it has something to do with the tightness I feel now. I feel that there is a rubber band in my eye. And when I open I feel the stretch. The tension is also greater on my right eye, which happens to be the smaller eye. My ptosis correction was non incisional (tied) Will ask the doctor about it after 3 months
susaki Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Jillyqueen, act i think your eyes now look great, although can see a bit asymmetry. Btw, she said you use non incisional for ptosis correction, does this mean it can redo???
tyler_durden Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 yes ma'am. It is easier to correct the asymmetry and less damage to the eye opening muscle.
jillyqueen Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Yup it can be undone if I want it so. And just to clarify, my original eyes were not symmetric. 1) was told so by dr kwon and he recommended ptosis to solve it 2) I objected 3) later changed my mind as I really wanted the assymetry to be improved. So I expected the problem to be corrected. Since I took the ptosis.
