Eyes closed 5 weeks after
Someone asked me for a close up of the scar. To be fair, the scar is still pink and slightly raised in the corners but you can't tell with makeup on. The outer 80% of the scar is already just a thin line, almost like a fine wrinkle. If i weren't so private i would post my whole face bec i can really tell how my eyes suit my features.
Btw, if anyone is looking for a great eyelash enhancer, Alphaeon lash serum is the best and I've tried everything. Latisse hollowed out my eyes and made them longer but not thicker :(. These are my lashes with just mascara.

5 weeks after 2nd surgery
I had a great result from my first surgery but wanted slightly higher folds and the inner corners disconnected. I am so happy. Makeup looks incredible and my eyes look even more open and bright. Dr. Lee is the best!

wow amazing result!!!
Thank you! How did your surgery go? Did Dr.Lee do it?
I'm in bay area and chose Dr. Chase Lay. He did Ptosis repair and now recovering to wait to have creases done :) You heal so fast!
He does them separately? I had ptosis repair plus creases done at the same time. It actually took me a lot longer to heal the second time. I put a lot of faith in Dr.Lee and am really happy. Would love to see your progress if you feel comfortable posting pics :).
i am 30days post with Dr. Lee. I had ptosis on one side only. Mine are uneven, though and I was wondering, how long after did you decide to revise? Did they continue to change several months post? I'm patiently waiting for mine to settle :) Thank you for all the information, it's so helpful.
So sorry, I just saw this question now. I was super asymmetrical the first 3 weeks and its much bettter now although not perfect. Asymmetry is totally normal and I've just accepted that some slight asymmetry may be what we have to live with. My eyes were super asymmetrical to begin with and I could make myself nuts chasing perfection. Overall I love my eyes. I would wait 9 to 12 mos before deciding on more surgery. My 2nd surgery was a long run for a short leap. Longer recovery with swelling and dry eyes than the 1st time. It's 4 months now and I'm still sleeping semi upright and inner corner along lashline is still a bit swollen.
Wow, your eyes are beautiful!!! Do you know your crease measurement in mm this time and last time? Does Dr. Lee give Valium IV to his patients? Thank you!
Thank you :). I don't know the exact measurement but it's between 6 to 8 mm now and not sure what it was the first time. I'm pretty sure i got IV Valium and another med but I don't know that it helped much. If i could do it again i might ask for just oral Valium.
Thank you! :)
From what i recall the first time there wasn't dramatic change after 1 month, just a subtle change that no one except myself would notice. The inner corners took the longest for swelling to go away and along the lashline. I think it was like 90% resolved by 6 to 7 months. I noticed with the ptosis repair, my eyes look more asymmetric when I'm tired. Then when I'm more rested they look a lot better. I was super asymmetric for a good 4 weeks this 2nd time. It's still a little but I'm trying to be patient and ride it out too :). I kind of freaked out and asked Dr.Lee if i could revise it right away and he said absolutely not. Glad he said no bec things are slowly getting better. Hang in there!
It was about 7 to 8 months when I did it the second time. I think most docs prefer you to wait 6 to 12 months before doing it again because there is a small amount of swelling and things do settle and even out with time. I'm waiting too...still a bit asymmetrical bur better
Oops, but better than week 1 for sure
You look great. You are lucky to have Dr Lee. My friend's eyes didn't turn great after 2 revisions. And you are brave to go thru a 2nd revision.

It looks like your right eye that had ptosis repair has higher crease on the outer corner? My doctor did ptosis surgery for me about 2 weeks ago, and my eyelids are still swollen - guess I needed to use more ice in the first 3 days. I'll plan on a 2nd surgery to create the crease in a few months after my eyelids are totally recovered, and really can't wait!! So many parties around the corner for end of the year :D
Eyes. Right side single lid and small. I'm doing more than see arch. You look. Great btw.
