WORTH IT
Due to many years of wearing eyelid tape and glue my eyelids were very droopy and gave me a very tired appearance. Getting the double eyelid surgery has to be the best decision I've ever made for myself and on top of that I found myself a great surgeon who communicated with me through every step from beginning to end. Dr. Ho was very patient and most importantly, honest, with her consultation with me and did not suggest any additional procedures that I did not need. She also was very transparent with how the results will most likely be so I did not have an inflated expectation. Everyone at Wave Surgery was extremely sweet and thoughtful, I could not have had a better experience. it's been a little over a year since I've gotten the procedure and my eyes are looking very natural, people compliment on them all the time and I have to thank Dr. Ho for that.

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

Hi there! When a review has a doctor's name attached, you can see it just under the review title, to the right of the Worth It rating. In this case, it was Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva. :)

Hi! You have recovered really nicely! I have done Epicanthoplasty as well and Non incisional double eyelid surgery but my scars are relatively obvious(inner corner of eyes). Do you mind to have a look at them? I have posted a question but yet to receive replies from Doctors. Your thoughts will be really useful!
