Asian blepharoplasty surgery

ORIGINAL POST

Asian Bleph

WORTH IT
I had Asian blepharoplasty surgery with Dr Tong in Feb 2021 and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
I had originally had two consultations for double eyelid surgery, one with Dr Tong and one with another doctor in Toronto. There was such a contrast between the two – the other doctor rushed through the entire consultation and I felt like I couldn’t trust getting surgery with him because it seemed like he would just rush through the process. In contrast, Dr Tong was very informative, very patient, and took the time to explain everything. He explained what was achievable, explained the different options (e.g. adding on an epicanthoplasty), and didn’t pressure me into doing anything. After the in-person consultation, I had also sent over pictures of what I wanted my eyes to look like, as well as a bunch of additional questions. He helped answer all of them and we discussed more to finalize the type of crease I wanted.
Fast forward to surgery date – he placed markings on my eyes and then we went into surgery. During the surgery he had me open my eyes at one point so that he could confirm they were symmetrical. I normally get very nervous with surgeries but this one felt relaxing the entire way through; Dr Tong and the nurses were all very helpful and I didn’t feel any pain. The most surprising part was that even for the week after surgery when I was recovering, I didn’t feel any pain in my eyelids at all. All the redness and bruising subsided within 10 days, and then it was just somewhat swollen afterwards but it would get better every day.
And finally, the results. The results are amazing! My eyelids look natural and symmetrical, and exactly the type of look I wanted. Dr Tong really listened to all my requests and gave me the best outcome I could possibly imagine. It’s only been 1.5 months from my surgery but I’m so happy with the results already and I’m so glad I made the decision to get the surgery with Dr Tong.

Revision

Unfortunately after my eyelids healed, the result was not ideal so I asked for a revision at around the 5 month post op mark. They said I need to wait for 6 months post op to get my follow up consultation and I was fine with that. Right after the consult I provided my availability for revision surgery but now I’m at the 8 month mark and still don’t have the surgery scheduled. I called the office multiple times and have been told each time that they’ll reach out when there’s availability but honestly it feels frustrating to see how low this is prioritized now that it’s a revision instead of a new surgery. This definitely takes away from the great initial experience that I had and makes me think twice about future surgeries. Will definitely provide another update once I finally have the revision scheduled to provide an idea of the timeline.
