Devastating Eyelid Surgery Outcome with Dr. Myung Ju Lee – Left with Severe Complications
I underwent upper and lower eyelid surgery with Dr. Myung Ju Lee at VIP Plastic Surgery, Seoul, on August 28, 2024, seeking natural rejuvenation. I chose him based on his ISAPS membership and reputation.
Unfortunately, the results were devastating:
• Bulky, heavy upper eyelids from excessive fat grafting.
• Distorted eye shape, with loss of my natural almond shape.
• Newly developed ptosis and asymmetry that were never present before.
• Bulging with white discoloration on the lower eyelids caused by macro fat grafting.
These outcomes reflect poor surgical planning and disregard for the delicate eyelid anatomy. I now require multiple, high-risk revision procedures (including ptosis repair, fat repositioning, and epicanthoplasty) to restore both function and appearance.
When I raised these problems at 8 months post-surgery, the clinic denied any issues, dismissed my concerns as “fine,” and refused responsibility. This gaslighting delayed timely corrective treatment and worsened my condition.
I have attached both my before photos (showing my natural almond-shaped eyes) and after photos (showing the surgical damage) to clearly demonstrate the extent of the harm caused.
This experience has left me unrecognizable, with permanent changes to my expression and identity. It has severely impacted my confidence, mental well-being, and quality of life.
