Not a Disaster but Not Good Either

To post an update - yep still scars on the eyes. The scars do not sit in the crease of the eye like they are supposed to but above it. Doctor offered to cut them out for free in his office. Thanks, but no thanks. Suggestion would be to start listening to what a patient asks for and if they like their eye shape DO NOT make it into something else (that looks super weird and un-natural). I was shown exactly 1 photo example in my consult and even in that one, the person had thick fake eye lashes covering the eyelid. This doctor needs to step into the current century and post his work on social media so that you can see exactly what you will get. Also, someone in this field really needs to listen and not try to change your ethnicity when they are happy with it. It is not mis communication but mis -listening and being set in one's ways. Afterwards I was told - oh that's just a frame, your eyes are still the same. Yes, my eyeballs are the same but my eyelid shape is sadly no longer there and it is so over corrected that there is no skin left to change it. Mansplayning and patronizing afterwards also pretty much a no no I would say as well.

I have Asian eyes and went to the doc for a subtle correction to lift skin that was starting to sag onto eyelashes. During the visit he said he does a leading edge procedure with self dissolving stitches on the inner eye that he has written articles about. A reputable doctor and a fairly simple procedure - I didn't really think to investigate this technique further... Now it is a year later and I have railroad type of scars on both my eyes. (showing both horizontal scar and vertical stitch marks across too) I have visited a scar specialist and was told that most doctors don't use these types of sutures because of high risk of scaring and that they usually use regular sticthes so that they can remove as soon as possible. Also, he changed the fundamental shape of my eyelid to a more European look which is not what I asked for. I specifically said that I like my Asian eye and it's taken a long time to start to come to terms that I don't look like myself when I look in the mirror.
