Smear or disappearing eye make-up. Noooo
Not to sound like a drama queen but I think every girl/woman with hooded eyes (Asian or not) can relate to this. While I'm proud of my Asian features, having thick and fatty upper eyelids makes putting on eye make-up a PITA because half of your hard work ended up hidden under the hoods anyway. Yes, you can use false lashes to make your eyes look bigger but I'm lazy and ain't nobody got time for that. So I decided to seek out a permanent solution not for vanity sake but so I can fully express myself as a woman more easily.
While researching on Asian eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) I came across Dr. Chase Lay on RealSelf.com. After reading his answers and watching his videos on the subject, I was confident to set up a consultation with him and he didn't disappoint. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind, funny, and very down to earth. I'm picky in general so I want to make sure my surgeon is someone I can trust, feel comfortable with, and is the top in his field of expertise (aka, he does this everyday with good results for patients like me). I knew I wanted a natural look, nothing dramatic so we settled on a low and tapered crease.
The surgery date was set one month after my consultation for 4/20/16 and the entire procedure took about 2 hours or so: 1 hour to prep, mark my lids and another hour for the actual surgery itself for both eyes. I didn't experience much pain during the surgery except for the initial anesthetic injections to numb the lids (like getting the flu shot for 6 times lol). The surgery time flew by fast because Dr. Lay loves to talk and his assistant, Tony, kept me in good company throughout. The first night was the worst for me in term of pain since I didn't take any pain killers but Dr. Lay called to check on me the same day. After 7 days I came back to get the stitches out and it was easy breezy.
While my left eye healed nicely with great outcome my right eye didn't cooperate so I decided to get a revision done 6 months later. Dr. Lay was really nice about it and I had to go through round 2 under the knife again but this time the procedure was a lot quicker and I healed a lot faster. Now after 1 year I'm very happy with the results. While it's not hard to find a plastic surgeon in the Bay Area, it's more rare to find one who's skilled, professional yet caring that operates with integrity and heart. Dr. Lay encompasses all of those qualities and I'm grateful for his care. Thank you for all the awesome work that you do!
