3.5 Months Post Op - DES & Ptosis Correction with Under Eye Fat Repositioning
WORTH IT
I went for surgery mid November and it’s been 14 weeks since my eyelid surgery. My main concern was my right eye’s fold getting droopier than before, causing my eyes to look uneven. I also wanted to try under eye fat repositioning because I also wanted to address the dark circles, hollowness, and a wrinkle line.
The consultation started on WhatsApp with a consultant who was fluent in English. She was very friendly and provided quick responses to all of my questions, despite the time difference (I’m from Canada). My questions were all addressed the day of or the following day during their business hours. I went with Marble PS because their other reviews online were good overall and they had some good before and after photos. They also gave me the best quote and I liked their consultation the most.
After finally making it to Korea and having the in person consultation with Dr. Suh, I felt reassured and confident in moving forward with the procedure the next day. Dr. Suh was really attentive and patient throughout the entire process. He made sure to address all of my concerns and answered any questions I had.
I found that Dr. Suh focuses more on natural-looking outcomes rather than dramatic changes and if he believes a requested procedure is unnecessary or a bad idea, he will let you know. I find this important when choosing the right surgeon because this shows that they actually care. He used a toothpick to show me a few options for the creases and I went with the highest he could go without giving me “sausage eyes”. After confirming more details with the consultant about the two procedures, I left to prepare everything that I will need for the next few days (food, snacks, pumpkin juice, etc.) since I was travelling alone and won’t have anyone to take care of me post-surgery!
Surgery day: Even though I had an idea of what to expect based on my friends’ experiences and what the consultant explained to me, it was still reallyyy intense lol. I remember getting put under and then all of a sudden I felt like I was going through a vortex and these colourful walls were closing in. Then after that part was over, all I could see was black and I could hear Dr. Suh speaking to the nurse and the tools they were using. I felt the tugging but it wasn’t painful, not until near the end, that was when it started to feel a little bit uncomfortable. During the surgery, Dr. Suh asked me to open and blink my eyes numerous times. I could tell he was very attentive to details because he went back and forth on both eyes many times and did not stop until he was finally satisfied. He explained later that he spent more time for my procedure because it was really asymmetrical due to one of the muscles being a lot stronger and he wanted to make it as symmetrical as possible.
I was put under again for the second time when they did the under eye fat repositioning and went through the vortex again lol. That procedure was interesting, it felt like they were using some heavy tools to do something and all I felt was just strong pressure around the under eye area and cheeks, again no pain, but some discomfort near the end when you can tell the anesthesia is starting to wear off.
After I was done, I was brought into the resting area and the consultant allowed me to stay for however long I needed. She checked in and made sure I was okay before I left. All of the staff at Marble PS were very friendly, especially the team that dealt with the foreign clients. Many thanks to my consultant, who was absolutely delightful and made me felt comfortable throughout the entire process.
Overall, I am pleased with my DES results so far. My left eye is healing a little bit slower than my right, but apparently that is normal. Most say the final results aren’t settled until at least 6 months and for some even up to a year. As for the under eye fat repositioning, they did mention that the procedure won’t correct the colour pigmentation, so I was aware of that. The procedure did not fix my dark circles, but I did notice more volume at the 2 months mark. They said it can also take a few months for it to settle so I will see in a couple of more months if that procedure was worth it. Overall, it was a good experience and I am glad I chose Marble PS for my procedures!
