chewfishoils Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi everyone! I will share my revision eyelid surgery with Dr Kwon with you guys. So I just got it done yesterday after a second consultation(I consulted Dr.Kwon once last week). I did revison ptosis correction, revision double eyelid and epicanthoplasty. My eyes are not balanced and I told Dr Kwon to please do his best to make it balanced and I showed him a picture of bigbang's TOP(Told him I wanted horizontal eyes like his because mine is kinda slanted up). Anyways Dr Kwon was super friendly and he told me he will try. I did the surgery at about 6:30pm(They were about to go home but decided to stay and do my surgery because they were fully booked for the rest of the week and I have to fly off next week). So went in to the surgery room and the nurses tied me up and put something over my head which covers everything and only exposes my head. They used a towel to make something like a turban where my hair is not all over the place. Ok moving on. I think they gave me some kind of anesthesia and I swear I was HIGH. I had the weirdest "dreams" EVER.(Weird stuffs, colors flashing, PANDAS?!(Animated ones) I think because I was watching kung fu panda 1, 2, 3 back at the hotel previously) Ok so I woke up and I thought the surgery is over, and Dr.Kwon came in and I heard his voice, I asked him if the surgery was over. And he said: Oh no, we are just about to start. (FCUK. ME.) So during the surgery the nurses kinda applied alot of pressure on my nose pushing it to the side for the epicanthoplasty and I kept repeating:"Please be gentle on the nose"(I had rhinoplasty last year(which was also not satisfactory. Anyways moving on..) so after a while the epicanthoplasty is done and they stopped pushing my nose bridge and I'm pretty relieved. After the epicanthoplasty I didn't know what surgery Dr.Kwon was performing already. He was humming to the sound playing on the radio and just doing his work, halfway through he told me he will give me more anesthesia and injected it into my eyes and told me we will have a break for 5 minutes. So afterwards he came back and finished the surgery and throughout the surgery he told me to open/close my eyes and the final part he told me to do it again twice and then he said:Ok it's done. I asked him if it was good and he said yes(I REALLY HOPE IT IS GOOD!) I told him I love him and said sarangheyo, he laughed , said thank you and left the surgery room, then come the nurses to tape my eyes. We were having some weird conversation as they couldn't understand alot of english, but we kinda talked about bigbang, g dragon, top and etc etc.After taping my eyes the nurses helped me to my room and i got changed and went out to the lobby of teuim. One of the pretty receptionists(everyone is pretty there even the nurse) went down with me to get a taxi for me. So right after the surgery it hurts pretty bad, got back to my hotel and took the medications teuim gave me and slept till today. Went back to teuim after lunch to remove the tape on my eyes and the nurse cleaned my eyes for me, saw doctor kwon again and he asked me how I was doing, I told him I'm good. After awhile 1 receptionist told me to follow her and we went to see doctor kwon again. He told me to open wide/close and said good and told me to apply ice pack to my eyes.. After that we left his room and he went to prepare for his next surgery. My next appointment is on next monday to remove the stitches. I hope this helps. Any questions do feel free to ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microchip Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ya, my friend too was dreaming of animated cartoons and worst of all they were speaking Korean or a language she didn't know before she was woken up for the surgery. And she did not watch any cartoons before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayupop Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Please keep on updating. Are you satisfied with the surgery? Also, what made you decide on Teuim? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewfishoils Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hi, it was pretty painful at first until they gave me more anesthesia shots for the surgery. I didn't know what was going on, but according to my first experience with eyelid surgery, ptosis correction doesn't hurt I think the epicanthoplasty hurts the most as the nurse was really trying to break my nose(turning it to the side with massive force for doctor kwon to do the epicanthoplasty(I know it was epicanthoplasty as doctor was cutting the inner corner of the eyes.)

chewfishoils Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 I think the price is pretty ok it was about 4.5-5million KRW for revision, I think it will be cheaper if you are doing primary surgery. I stayed at Hotel PJ for 15 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewfishoils Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yea it was real crazy. I MEAN REAL CRAZY. I kept asking myself: "Am I dead? Breathe breathe! Nah, if I can still think about this i'm not dead." And then going into another dimension of crazy stuff haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewfishoils Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hi yes I am pretty satisfied with the surgery as my primary surgery turned out pretty bad, my left eye droops and both eyes are not aligned on a horizontal level(It was bad ptosis as Dr Kwon pointed out.) So it is now fixed and both eyes are horizontal and not very slanted as I also did epicanthoplasty. But then again, I am only like 10 days post op so I cannot really tell how the final result will be and how satisfied I am. But as for now I can already see the improvements made to my eyes and I am happy. I will keep updating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
