Loving my Results!

I have always been self-conscious about my eyelids since I was a teenager because I had noticed that it was the feature that made me look most different to everyone else. For more than 10 years I have been religiously using eyelid tape, glue and fake lashes to temporarily give me a crease due to my insecurities. I was aware of double eyelid surgery since high school but was afraid of the idea of permanently changing something about my face, though the idea was always at the back of my mind. Over the years, a few of my friends have had their eyelids more enhanced. Not only did they all look great, but their positive experiences gave me confidence to pursue double eyelid surgery.

After doing a lot research online, I was very happy to find Dr Ellis Choy. I was impressed with the range of before and after photos, his experience and the extensive amount of helpful positive reviews. After my first consultation, I was confident that I was going to be well looked after with his knowledge and experience of the Asian anatomy. 

On the day of the surgery, I was a mixed bag of emotions. I felt both excited and nervous. Dr Ellis Choy and Nurse Julia made me feel comfortable by talking through everything so there were no surprises. My mum was also more than welcomed to stay in the operating theatre to give me comfort whilst I was getting my anaesthetic needles. The only discomfort experienced were the needles, though it was bearable as I received it all at once. Once the numbness kicked in, I did not feel any discomfort at all. The experience of getting my root canal done was a lot more uncomfortable in comparison. The aftercare instructions were detailed and well-written. All the questions I had regarding recovery pre-surgery were all addressed comprehensively. 

I am now less than 2 weeks after surgery, and I am already loving my results. The difference my new eyelids has made to my face is huge and I am already receiving positive comments from my family and friends. My overall face looks more youthful, instead of looking tired from no visible crease. I can now properly see my eyelashes for the first time and am excited to be able to apply makeup with techniques I wasn’t able to before. I already feel more confident in the way I look with no makeup on.
