QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Morning! Yes, you would need a revision to make a more stable crease and help with the look and feeling of heaviness as it does appear you still have ptosis. Definitely only work with surgeons who specialize in your anatomy and condition. The surgery would consist of advancing the levator tendon some more (perhaps for both sides) and using an anchoring technique to keep the crease in place. If the ptosis was under-corrected in addition to a poor anchoring technique the crease usually will loose definition with a year or so. That being said you can still run into lifelong minor issues with ptosis if you were born with it. Best of luck Chase Lay MD

Thank you for the photos.  You certainly are a candidate for what you are trying to achieve.  Be very wary of techniques describing cutting away muscle and fat or "thick skin" to give the skin a thinner, flatter, crisp look.  I do think you can get very close to your goal but some of the fullness you see under your eyelids is actually just your eyeball.  Go ahead, press on it.  Your eyes are not very deep set so that rounded contour you see if the eye under the lid.

Now, your skin does a appear to be medium thickness and maybe a little elastic so it's important the anchoring point for your new crease be a little lower towards the lash line.  If it's too high in your anatomy it will look too puffy forever and that's nearly impossible to revise.

Best of luck.  See an Asian Eyelid Surgery specialist.

Hello from the west coast!  Hope you are staying home safe over there in NYC.  Given your apparent age, anatomy, and goals for something conservative I'd say a partial incision should work well.  Suture technique might work ok but wouldn't last.  You should look presentable in about 10-14 days after you have your sutures out around day 7.  

Look for a specialist in Asian eyelid surgery.

I do a lot of nonsurgical nose jobs with fillers where I can enter from the tip with a cannula or I can enter from the radix with a needle. I use different techniques depending on the patient's goals and anatomy. Just keep in mind that the area you are trying to inject has higher possible risks like tissue necrosis and blindness. Please make sure you do your research and go to a professional with a lot of experience.

Best of Luck!

Hello! 

First off-- thank you for your picture! It serves as a wonderful starting point, but your provider will ask you to do many movements during the consultation to find the right dose for you. This includes frowning and creating a scowl to see your 11's in full effect, raising your eyebrows in a surprised/questioning look, and smiling/squinting. By doing these movements, the provider can see how active your muscles are and where the muscle binds to the skin for a customized treatment. 

There will always be a recommended range, but it is fully customizable based on your goals and discussion. 

Best of luck,

Kathy Luong, RN

Botox - I trust their expertise & not once had adverse reactions/effects

Great nurses. I’m never worried that they’re trying to sell me stuff or add on. I trust their expertise and not once did I had adverse reactions/effects. I’ve been going with them for 5 years and recommend my sister to this place. She also brought her friends and they loved it.

HydraFacial

Office review - walks you through the whole process

I started getting hydra facials with Tiffany last year and have been extremely satisfied. Tiffany always reviews you skin with you at each visit, asks what you would like to focus on. She also walks you through the whole process if you would like. She is very knowledgeable about skin care products and makes recommendations that do not feel pressure for you to buy product. I will not see anyone else for my hydra facials. Highly recommend Tiffany!

Double Eyelid Surgery

Incisional eyelid surgery review - he helped me achieve very natural results

TL;DR I recommend Dr. Lay for Double Eyelid Surgery. Make sure to schedule your consultation about 2 months prior because he is very popular for eyelid surgery. A little background: late-20s Asian woman with asymmetrical eyelids. I had one monolid and one double eyelid that had a parallel crease. After doing research on clinics from California and Korea, I ultimately decided that I wanted to have my surgery done locally. I made appointments with 3 surgeons for consultations and decided to proceed with Dr. Lay for my surgery. I chose Dr. Lay because he was the most confident and I felt he understood what I wanted as my end result. The incisional eyelid surgery would take place almost 2 months after my consultation. The experience: The surgery was painless and I was awake under local anesthesia. Immediately after surgery, my eyes were very red, swollen, and tight. After 1 week, the stitches were removed and that was when majority of the bruising subsided. After 1 month, my eyes were still very tight and swollen and I was worried because I was going on vacation very soon. Dr. Lay knew this and scheduled me in to see him before my vacation. He gave me steroid shots to help with the swelling. These shots were the most painful part of the overall experience. It felt like a giant needle went into my eyelid followed by a cold thick fluid sensation. However, hours after that steroid shot, the swelling had reduced substantially. In about 1.5 months, my eyes were no longer irritably tight. Although my eyelashes were still separated and pointing up, my eyes looked very natural. At 1.5 months, no one was able to tell I had any surgery done. My thoughts: For the first month post op, I was feeling a little anxious. My eyes were very swollen and tight. I was worried that this would’ve been the end result. However, I was patient and knew that this was part of the healing process. At about 1.5 months, I was very happy with the results. The tightness was about 90% gone and I was back to my regular pre op routine. Dr. Lay was very helpful throughout the entire experience. He helped me achieve very natural results that even my outspoken parents and siblings couldn’t tell I had surgery done. He was also available when I had questions and concerns. Some tips: - Don’t freak out if your eyes look too swollen and tight. It’s part of the process. - Invest in face shield visors. For $8 on Amazon, you get 100 disposable shields. These shields were a shower lifeline for me as they prevent water from getting near your eyes. - Don’t overdo it on the kiwis. Diarrhea is not fun - Kimchi has seafood and sometimes shellfish

Emsculpt

Emsculpt by Emily

Signed up for an Emsculpt package with Dr. Lay’s office to take care of an annoying under-butt problem that exercise just couldn’t take care of. Emily was my main point of contact and she was the best! She explained the process and set realistic expectations for me. Also the office is beautiful, clean and very professional. Appointments were easy to schedule and the reminders were so helpful due to my own busy schedule. Btw, results were fantastic!

Non-Surgical Nose Job (Fillers) with Restylane - Complete Transformation & Boost of Confidence!

Growing up with a deviated septum and droopy tip was a blow to my confidence. I considered a surgical rhinoplasty but recently discovered non-surgical nose jobs using fillers. I did my research and came across Nurse Emily through a friend's recommendation. Nurse Emily provided a consultation and ensured that Restylane would help camouflage the bump on my nose and raise the tip to look more feminine. In the event that I am dissatisfied with the shape, an enzyme could be injected to reverse it. The procedure itself took roughly 30 minutes with minimal pain on the bridge, and slight to moderate pain on the tip. Numbing cream is provided by request! I was immediately in love with my results and wish I knew about this procedure sooner. Nurse Emily explained that swelling will subside around 3 weeks and around the 4 week mark I can come in to touch up any minor imperfections. I did have bruising for 3 weeks but was able to cover it up with concealer. At the touch up appointment, she injected more at the tip to create a pixie nose and used the remainder of the syringe to fill in my bridge. I still can't get over my results and wish fillers were permanent, but this is a great alternative to anyone who is hesitant to commit to a traditional rhinoplasty. I highly recommend fillers by Nurse Emily!
