It has almost been three months and every day I regret getting this surgery. The crease is too high on my right eye and my left eye crease is unraveling. I just look weird. Scarring is terrible and has not gotten better. It looks like I have two creases. I went to girin clinic with dr song and while I am sure he is a nice man, what he did to my eyes is unforgivable not that he cares since he does not return any messages. I would not put a bad review unless I think it is deserved.

So sorry you had to feel this pain. Did you consider a revision surgery(blepharoplasty), of course from a different clinic.I would suggest you look into it.

I dunno, I personally think ur eyes look beautiful; and I am quite picky.. I don't see the issues u are seeing. It may be b/c ur use to ur old face, and this new face scares you b/c it's different. I'm sure if you showed me a pic of ur full face, as a stranger, I wouldn't notice anything wrong.

Thanks for your honesty! I am looking to get the same surgery in Seoul, but am having mixed feelings about whether to get it done in Korea or the states. Though I have double eyelids already, I also want to fix my ptosis (not extreme). From what I've researched, DST is not possible for those with ptosis, can you give me a little more insight about what your doctor(s) said during your consultations as well as your feelings about finding the right doctor in Seoul/LA?

The crease has lowered, hoping it will lower a bit more but mostly hoping the shape becomes less round. It has getting better but still not good enough. Hopefully it will be better by the third month.

Does anyone have issues with random parts of the eye swelling? Sometimes my inner corner on my right eye swells up.

Eyes looked worse this week but perhaps because of menstrual cycle. Not sure if that is scientifically related, but trying to keep calm. The left eye is always fine, but seems a little shorter than the right. The right eye is the main issue.

This week i felt something inside inner corner on the right eye. It is a hard lump that follows in the direction of my incision line. Not sure if this is affecting the way the crease forms. Either it is internal scar tissue or a chalazion or God forbid broken sutures. My surgeon in Korea has not messaged me back (after a few days) but I have an appointment with an oculoplastic surgeon on Monday.

The biggest issue is the ptosis. It has been a month and a half and I still have ptosis. I know this because I have sceleral show below my pupil. However when I smile, the eye sort of lifts up to cover the sceleral show. Now, I did have a lateral canthiplasty so perhaps that is still taking awhile to heal and that is causing the sceleral show? Nonetheless when I am in public I still have to lift my eyebrows up. I've gotten used to it but it is so annoying and I have been getting headaches. I look like an idiot whenever I pass a reflective surface.
