Here are a few more images of my eyes pre/post op from my surgery to add to my previous update. Dr. Ho’s new office is very clean, immaculate, and stylish. The office staff are much more organized compared to when she worked at Wave, and I really appreciate that. The actual surgery was prompt, and I like how I was given a sedative through my arm via shot vs. a ivy drip in my arm. I’m both excited and apprehensive for the end results. I’ll be getting my stitches taken out next week, and will post further updates.

Your eyes look like they are not closing well? Are they supposed to look like that?
I hope your eyes turned out successful but the silence of updates is suggesting that it was not successful. And I don't think you should have gone back to the same doctor if they already failed after 3 times, and now 4 times..
I would say my eyes are looking better from an aesthetic point, and the scarring has definitely improved. I debated on posting update pictures since it’s still healing, but I probably will soon. One of my eyes is definitely healing better than the other. My eyes still cannot fully close, but as aforementioned from another consultation that I had with another surgeon, that may have to do with how my eyes naturally retract, and not to do with the surgery. At this moment, I can’t necessarily say that I’m 100% happy, but I think the 4th revision has definitely drastically improved the way my eyes look.
do you have an update?
Your eyes look better. Do you have pay for revision with the same doctor?

Giving It Another Try

Another Update!

As aforementioned, I planned on visiting Dr. Ho again for her opinion on the current state of my eyes. When I met with Dr. Ho, I was feeling very apprehensive and nervous because I was afraid to be honest. It’s strange, but I felt some shame to be “that patient” who wasn’t satisfied with their results or possibly labeled as the type of patient who’s a perfectionist or that their desired results are unrealistic. Fortunately, my follow-up/consultation exceeded my expectations. Dr. Ho was very sweet and acknowledged some of the issues that I had with my lids. To summarize, she said that the scarring on the inner corner of my eyes was something that could be potentially improved upon and that she could excise the chalazion/stye in my eye. That was a few months ago, and fast forward today, I elected to have another revision.

Above are some pre-op images of my eyelids from today and how they looked immediately after surgery. I’m feeling very hopeful.

Getting A Second Opinion

I recently saw a different plastic surgeon and asked about my eyes and what his opinion of them were. We both agreed that my scarring was definitely noticeable and something that could possibly be improved upon.

He did mention that my eyes not being able to fully close may not be related to my surgery, rather a trait that I have where my eyes relax in such a way that they do not fully close when I sleep. Therefore, I feel the need to improve my overall rating from 2 to 3 stars.

I have an appointment with Dr. Ho in the near future and will provide an update to her opinion on the current state of my eyelids.

I'm glad you're going to another doctor because from the pictures your scars are very noticeable. Dr. Ho did not do a good job I hope you got it corrected hun.
