I wanted to remove an extra crease located on the inner part of both of my eyelids. I was told by a beauty spa lady in Westminster that I can get that extra crease remove. She sent me to her sister's plastic surgeon and he done a computer image of how I will look without the extra crease. It sure looks good and I can line my upper eyelids without that extra crease. It be just one crease and I like that.
But I didn't use that doc though. He wasn't sure if he cannot remove that extra crease for me. That was Dr. N. Churgay Long Beach, CA. I was him around summer 1990. Then I found a doctor in Santa Ana to do my eyelids. He gave me asymmetry. My right eye inner eyelid was wider and I would it to look like my left eye which looks more natural like the height of my birth crease. The scars was good and not noticeable. Very thin hairline flat like how it was described in those eyelid surgery brochures you find in doctors that do eyelid surgery. I interviewed several dr. to do revision work. My instinct was to use someone that is also an eye doctor that had done eyelid surgery. Unfortunately I didn't realized at that time no all doctors know how to operate on Asian eyelids. My big mistake not knowing and no information on that either. You have to remember that was back in 1992 and most of us do not have internet access like in the later 90's to get information and perhaps reviews from patients or patients that had blotched work or work done to them without informed consent.....
I cannot ever think that a doctor can so crazy thinking someone will want their eyebrows, eyelids and forehead stitched up to make pleats. My eyelid crease is so ugly with lumps and bumps that looks like a romp and noticeable surgery markings all over the place. From my eyelid creases, eyelids to the side of it and my forehead........... What the hell was he thinking??? If you are gonna to such weird surgery on a patient you should really go into details and tell them or point out what you are going to do and not assume. I never think such thing can happen!!!! I paid for eyelid revision surgery and what I paid for was never done. My eyelids are butchered up and people look at me strangely all the time...... Of course they know it is eyelid surgery gone terribly wrong. I have a ton of wrinkles on my eyelids and I have to hide my forehead with bangs or people will look at me strangely. Why?? those deep vertically lines looks man made!!!! One side of my forehead has very deep vertical lines where as the other side has very few and they are not super DEEP....... I never asked for artifically made frown lines?? Is that the right wording??? Plus I never asked for the frown expression to be put onto my face. All the scars are showing up on my Asian type 3 skin like "red flag" . Any time I get a cut I hypo-pigment. Why would I want that look and obivious stitch markings all over my face for????? If this doctor had any common sense, then he wouldn't have messed up my face so badly. ................... I lost my young and young is priceless................... I thought I was in good hands and I didn't think I needed to worry during surgery because cosmetic surgery is to enhance one's look and not doing the opposite right??? Anyway, I ended up with two different size and shape of eyes. Now I am almost twice the age when I got my revision surgery and I have less eyebrows and you can see my eyebrows got stitched up too.... It is a really big mess. If you look at my posted photos you can see zig zap stitched markings, and look at my eyelids, you see those brown "X" markings, and when you see brown coloring it is damages on my delicate eyelids................ Look and you willl see a lot of ugly cuts. Look at the outer edging. This doctor made extra deep cuts there. For what???? That supposed to look good?? It is deep cuts. My whole eyelid looks like someone don't know what they are doing worked on them....... Look at those strange vertical lines on my forehead...
Now people will ask me why didn't u do anything about it legally.
At the time I kept looking at how ugly my eyes are and didn't even look at my forehead.
I know that my first surgery the stitching was normal and not puckered. Nothing unusal about it THe doctor just did his work on my eyelids.... With the second surgery by the revision doctor he rolled my skin up and it is very strange and different than from first surgery. I thought since the doctor works only on eyes, he probably know what he is doing and I didn't realize what he was thinking.
Before surgery he told me to pick a picture of a model from one of his many magazines at the office.
I looked and looked. I didn't know the term to use but now I do. My natural creases are parallel and not tapered. With Asian eyes there can be those two types of creases. I picked a model with the parallel crease and the height was fine with me. But the big problem is this. She had a huge frown or a deep facial expression. The doctor had put her facial expression onto my face without clarifying with me. I paid for eyelid revision so how the hell would I know that a doctor can be this "MAD".. So to speak without my informed consent he done extra work on my face. .Work that age me and make me very odd,strange, and freakish looking.????? It was years after surgery that I wanted to wear my bangs differently and that is when I noticed my forehead looks deformed!!!. As I age the wrinkling got worst and worst . I have super deep 11's which none of my old siblings have. Right now I have only one sister with a tiny bit of wrinkles on her forehead. It is very shallow and very short length....... I had some people asked me what happen to your forehead. I had one lady just without thinking saying to me at the medical group I belong to " who stitched up the upper part of your face like that??"" She was seeing a dermatagist for a burn from skin laser. She told me the doctor burnt her face and didn't know what he was doing. You can see those burnt marks clearly but of course I don't want to bring that to her attention as I know how it makes myself feel.
I am posting and I cannot name the doctor that did this to me but I want each one of you to know these kind of unthinkable nightmare do happen................. Read about the case of two Orange County,CA doctors got their medical license revoked for doing extra uninformed surgery on patient... I was very naive back then. I trusted doctors and didn't know about the reality of medicine is just a practice of medicine and cosmetic surgery is a practice. Some doctors have more talent and skills than other doctors. Some are more detailed, careful, and have morals than others. Now, look at my eyes , eyebrows and forhead. Look at my inner eyelids with that pull of skin and if you look you will see those stitch markings. You can see them midway on my eyelids, you can see brown markings, those are dents put onto my delicate skin. You can see dents near the outer tail of my eyebrows.... Look above my eyebrows for some needle holes and dents. He put those stuff onto my forehead that most older white caucasian males gets more often than other race of people. .. ................... If you look at me in person using the right light, you can see the deep "l 1" between my eyebrow has a white line runnng vertically........ I was at the office for a long time. I didn't wear a watch but it felt like more than 2 hrs... I remember his nurse washed my whole face which is odd I kept my eyes closed the whole time . Since i worn heavy bangs then, my driver that picked me up after surgery could have alarmed me. I trusted. I kept to myself saying doctors will never do anything odd to harm us????? Am I so wrong...............
I gone to numerous surgeons and none can offer me any help to make my forehead, eyelids look normal.
The wrinkles that the revision doctor put in without informed consent is permanent....
If the doctors have any common sense, then he would think three times before doing such odd surgery on me. PUtting dents, divots, scars, obvious stitch markings onto my face is beautiful???? On top of all that I mention was this huge "X" mark on my left eye. It stood out like a sore thumb and I had to go to a real pro to hide that huge stitch mark. This eye doctor that I gone to worked on a lot of Asian eyelids. I wished I gone to him on the first place. I doubt he would think I wanted that deep facial l expression to be put permanently onto my face. A facial expression is dynamic and now I live with that strange forehead and eyelids for more than 2 decades. I know we are all here on planet earth for a short time and I do believe the person who done this to me with have to answer to the higher being.....
As of today, I have not found any doctor that can offer me hope to looking normal. You and I know these scars are permanent on my face. Take a look at my eyelids. They aren't smooth.. Very rough looking. Look at the cuts and ugly crease lines. Not smooth. THe line looks like maybe the drawing of a toddler....

What a nightmare. Done surgery to my face without informed consent. Refused to admit wrong doing. Stole my youth and gave me so much scars onto my face. My life is ruined and I am so embarrass of how my forehead and eyelids look like. Instead of accepting responsibility he told me all that happen to me is because my eyes are too small for him to work on??? Makes a lot of sense. My eyes are different size and shape but it is not showing in those photos. I will try to do it on a day that it shows how badly the shapes and different sizes of my eyes. I regret having revision work done by this doctor. Wished I have used an Asian doctor than he/she would never have thought I wanted the frown face, but as for how my eyelids are so butchered up is clearly the doctors inability to work on Asian eyelids. All his stitching was super tight and caused severe wrinkling to my delicate skin especially around my eyes (eye area skin is very thin). I think you can say he put the pucker look onto my face. Those ugly dents markings, cuts of different depth all show up on my face like a sore thumb.................................... I will try to find the photos of my 1st eyelid surgery. There is nothing weird to it. Just right eye (inner eyelid height was made higher ) Had I gone to a good skill surgeon than that problem could be fix with no damages to 1/2 of my face. Asian eyelids require special skills. I am posting to let people be aware. I trusted too much and never thought my face can be ruin so badly by the pair of hands by one doctor. Look at my photo and try to blow it up if you can, then you see all those brown marking or marking that isn't clear like my skin color than you can conclude those are stuff that the 2nd doctor placed onto my face........ All those darker color blur are damage to my skin!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All that damage cannot be undone or repair.
