I noticed clear asymmetry early on but was told it was swelling

I was embarrassed to share these but given how many people asked me I will include them. The more swollen one is about 3 weeks post op while the other two are 7/8 months out

I went to dr. Lee for an Asian eyelid surgery as I had read many of the positive reviews and saw his photos posted online. I'm from out of town so did an initial video chat and I should have listened to my gut when he was rushed and didn't go into any details. I had double eyelids already but wanted a slightly higher fold and was told It would be straightforward given the starting point. On the day before surgery when I flew out, again he rushed through and spent maybe ten minutes with me addressing concerns haphazardly and the aesthetic I was looking for. I thought this was all likely normal given it was my first time undergoing a cosmetic procedure and the day of surgery and days after until I left went through ok. It was during the healing period and when results started coming through that the attitude of the dr and staff changed completely. I noticed clear asymmetry early on but was told it was swelling and so I allowed the month and then 3 months to pass all the while the results actually looked worse as my eyes de swelled. When I reached out about a follow-up, I flew to LA and spent $500 on a flight and hotel and was seen for 10 minutes before I was rushed out and told it was too early. Finally, after multiple attempts and mix-ups with scheduling or the dr being continually late and just taking my calls through facetime " whenever he had 5 minutes" or as convenient for him vs our actually scheduled time, he admitted that a revision was needed. When I reached out for my medical records, I was told they'd b happy to transfer my care again without any thought about how it might feel to be walking around with really clearly badly done eyes. I had to wear glasses for 6 months to hide them and it really ruined my confidence and impacted my social life. I spent thousands consulting with other DRs / oculoplastic surgeons all who had the same feedback that too much fat was removed and the ptosis repair was way too aggressive. Also at 6 months I still could not fully close my eyes as I was also told too much skin was removed so our options for revision were also limited. I finally decided on a local dr Bc I simply did not trust dr lee for the skill/competency/consistency / and poor follow-up and feedback manner. It felt like it was a huge burden to address my concerns and I left each conversation feeling bad and unheard. Also, there were clear inconsistencies each time we spoke about what he recommended or did which was frankly scary. While my eyes look way better now, the New dr could only do so much to fix what was done prior, and ultimately I regret my decision to get this done by dr lee at all. It took me a while to decide on whether or not to post this but these are the facts of my experience and I'm happy to share photos and correspondence with those considering this procedure to raise awareness and hope this helps with your decision. Perhaps if the dr is having a good day and the results turn out well and you don't run into any issues or don't need post-op consultation or a revision, it will work out but I don't think that's a gamble I'd ever take again.
