Please see below for my updated, my photo didn't load for some reason. I'm happy to provide additional info for anyone interested. My biggest advice is to stay away from Dr. Newen for eyelid surgery!

REVISION UPDATE!

I want to provide a follow up- After exactly one year, I went in for a revision with another provider.  It was a difficult 365 days to wait as I felt anguish daily as I looked in the mirror.  I was so upset with what he did to my eyes.  My new doc insisted I wait the full year to ensure it's fully healed and settled before a revision, which I understand.  I will review my revision seperately but I want to demonstrate what could be done with cases like mine.

During my mulitple follow ups with Dr. Newen, he insisted that I didnt need revision, my eyes looked fine and I didn't have any ptosis.  He also said revision would be too difficult and almost impossible to do.  I was close to tears after each visit, but he clearly didn't care about my botched results.  When I went in for my revision, my new doctor measured my eyes at 12mm and 14mm!  I was shocked at how aggressive he went with my delicate asian eyelids and the crease height is far outside the range for asian anatomy.  On top of that, the creases were uneven by 2mm!  Of course, he didn't measure and spent all of 2 minutes carelessly marking my eyelids.  My eyelids were also constantly droopy and I looked tired all of the time.

After my revision, my said doctor said when she opened my eyelids up she found the ligaments weren't properly attached to the muscle and were hanging on haphazardly with scar tissue hence my droopy eyelids.  He also removed almost all the fat in my eyelids- luckly I didn't need a fat transfter.  I may need some filler as I get older to prevent hollowing.

I'm so fortunate that I was able to get his work corrected, as these cases are complex and not all providers are trained on these revision techniques.  I wanted to give hope out there for others in my situation- it is possible and don't give up hope!

I added a photo of Dr. Newen's results vs. my revision. Results speak for itself.

Pictures

Here are some before and afters from what he did to me. I asked for very natural looking creases and he said he "only does natural work". He barely looked at my wish photos and didn't even show me the markings in the mirror before I was whisked off to surgery. After one year, the creases never settled and constantly looked puffy, deep and sausage like.
