ID Hospital review of an American fashionista Shey: double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, fat graft, under eye fat repositioning

A famous blogger Shey is sharing her ID Hospital review after her surgeries by dr. Lee Jaejun.

ID Hospital: Could you please introduce yourself?
Shey: Hi, My name is Shey, and I’m a fashion and travel content creator from LA on instagram and youtube.

ID Hospital: What surgeries did you have in ID Hospital?
Shey: I did rhinoplasty, under eye fat repositioning, forehead fat grafting and double eyelid surgery by dr. Lee Jaejun. I had really small eyes, and my under eye were really bulging. It made me look more mature and tired all the time. I also used to have a flat forehead, so I felt that if I do my nose and don’t do forehead, it would look really odd and unbalanced, so I had it done together.

ID Hospital: How long have you been planning to get your surgeries for?
Shey: Ever since I was a kid I wanted to do rhinoplasty. I also knew I wanted to go to Korea, so after I found out about ID Hospital and saw the results on the internet I’ve decided that I definitely wanted to go there.

ID Hospital: Why did you choose Korea, not USA?
Shey: Seoul is the “plastic surgery capital”, and local surgeons know how to work with Asian features. I also like the natural looking effect after surgeries in Korea. I still wanted to look like myself, but better, so that’s why I chose Korea.

ID Hospital: Are your family members and friends supportive about your decision?
Shey: Yes, they are very supportive, and my husband travelled with me to support me during the recovery.

ID Hospital: Have you experienced any pain or encountered any difficulties during the recovery?
Shey: No, I haven’t actually experienced any pain, only bruising and swelling. I was able to go for a walk right after I got discharged from a recovery room. The best description I can say is that it feels like a recovery from a bad flu.

ID Hospital: Do you have any tips for patients who are planning to get surgery in ID?
Shey: Trust your doctor, trust your consultant, read a lot of articles. Remember, that every person has a different experience, so even though it wasn’t painful for me, but it can be painful for someone else. Take care of yourself prior to the surgery, exercise more and eat healthier food.

ID Hospital: Would you recommend ID Hospital to others and why?
Shey: Absolutely yes. From my experience, they have the best doctors and the hospital is amazing.

ID Hospital: Do you plan to get any other procedures in the future?
Shey: I’m very much contented with the way I look right now, maybe as I age I will get lifting, but right now I’ve very happy with the result.

ID Hospital Double Jaw surgery and Ptosis Correction Surgery Review

Why I decided to get Double Jaw Surgery

Since high school, plastic surgery has always been in a mind. The reason was because of my lantern jaw and extreme asymmetrical face. A lantern jaw is when your lower jaw sticks out further than your upper jaw, giving your face a long, lean and gaunt appearance. Mine was pretty severe. And for this reason, my appearance has always been the biggest insecurity of my life. After years of research about double jaw surgery, on the day I turned 19, I didn't hesitate a second to get surgery done!

This is a picture of me before surgery. You can obviously tell that I had a very asymmetrical face. When people would first see me, they would get a poor first impression of me and told me that I was hard to approach. I didn't like my small eyes either. I would especially notice how small they are when I take photos, because they always looked half closed- making me look sleepy.
My double jaw condition was quite serious that the hospital told me if it was just 0.3mm more distorted, my surgery would have been covered by insurance. I visited many hospitals for consultations including huge university hospitals. But at the end I decided to go with ID hospital.

After discussing with my parents I decided to get the “surgery-first approach” orthognothic surgery. And since I was getting surgery anyway, I decided to go ahead and get ptosis correction surgery as well to fix my sleepy eyes.

My eyes always looked half closed making me looking sleepy all the time

before going into surgery

The whole surgery took about 6 hours. But for me, it didn’t feel like 6 hours. Right before surgery I was telling my Doctors to take good care of me. Then all I remember is falling asleep and waking up in the recovery room. It’s amazing what anesthesia can do haha

After Surgery

When I woke up from surgery, I still had anesthesia in my system so I wasn't able to have complete free range of motion. It was impossible to breathe through my nose. At that moment, I was in great discomfort. But now that I look back at it, I think it was bearable. The hardest part for me was that the respiratory I was breathing through was causing dryness in my mouth and throat. This made me really thirsty. But when the nurses saw me struggle, they brought me a humidifier which made me feel a little better after.

right after surgery

This is a photo of me right after I got discharged! You can tell that I was very swollen. I was really hungry as well because I have been fasting for hours. The hospital provided me with a liquid shake and consuming it helped my hunger go down. The nurses were very helpful throughout my recovery right after surgery. Also one more thing, I usually sleep on my side, but after surgery I wasn’t able to. That was quite difficult for me because it hurt my back during the night.

Photo of me two months post operation. Swelling has gone down a lot in this photo

6 months post operation

7 months post operation

Overall

I’m sharing my experience with everyone because prior to my surgery, the reviews I read were very helpful and gave me more insight of the surgical process and assurance in my decision to get surgery. Since this is a huge operation, you really need to be careful on who you choose as your surgeon. I hope my experience can help others find the courage to go through what I did and experience a new life through it. Good luck.

Is there key point ‘ABC’ to avoid revision surgery after first plastic surgery?

It’s time for prospective university students to look after their appearance after finishing their long period of exams. Freshmen’s plastic surgery has super ordinary consideration as it’s the first plastic surgery ever in their life. These are the key tip ‘ABC’ that has to be known to avoid revision surgery, which supported by Dr. Sang Hoon Park, plastic surgery specialist at ID Hospital.

The very first consideration to be made before planning plastic surgery is ‘Age’. The suitable age for plastic surgery for body parts including eyes, nose and chin are varied as each of them has different time for their growth conclusion. The earliest one is eye. Eyes mostly finishes development at around 16, thus double eye-lid surgery is possible afterwards.

It’s ideal to get surgeries including orthognathic, facial contouring and nose surgeries after face is fully grown and stopped development as these surgeries deal with facial bone. Facial bone is the last part to finish development. There is chance of continuous development if the patient is 19~20 years old who just finished Korean SAT as the growth of facial bone may continue after 20 depending on individuals. Thus growth conclusion should be checked up in prior to make decision.

Dr. Park said “It’s suitable to get surgery after all growth has concluded as it’s hard to predict surgery result during growth period” and “However, keep in mind that parents’ agreement is required if the patient is under 19.”

Plastic surgery specialists emphasize facial ‘Balance’ as another important point for plastic surgery. Especially, the balance between forehead and nose should be considered. The patient should be aware that excessive plastic surgery breaks facial balance and may cause resistance. Recently preferred method is to use customize implants according to the patient’s nose shape during surgery. It looks natural while correcting shape as the patient wanted; also it’s safe without concerning that the implant might come out, as the implant is fixed while it fitted perfectly.

Plastic surgery is a surgery, too. There is no need to be afraid, but before and after care is important as it’s a surgery. Especially, it needs precise care as the result may change according to; treatment history, type of medicine taken, and the cloths on the surgery day. It’s a good way to improve on safety by having a comprehensive medical testing for plastic surgery.

Above all, sufficient consultation with medical team about the patient’s health is essential. Consult medical team beforehand for safe anesthesia, about specific medicine that the patient is allergic to if the patient is medicated or treated for an internal disease, thus the medical team can avoid the use of relevant medicine. Also additional check-up may be required if the patient had treated for heart, lung, brain diseases or cancer treatment.

Is it possible to have natural looking double eye lid line by incision method?

People dream about natural and effective results before they are about to get their plastic surgery. People honestly want to achieve surgery result that doesn’t have the trace of plastic surgery but is beautiful for all the others to see.

Especially, for double eye lid surgery which is known as the most popular plastic surgery, the surgery is done by choosing ‘incision method’ and ‘non-incision method’. Usually patients prefer non-incision method that has natural line and leaves no scar than incision method that’s line could look unnatural.

However, non-incision method has a weakness that it is easy for the double eye lid line to disappear. Also incision method might be required after actual diagnosis due to saggy eye lid that has thick fat layers.

‘Skinny incision method’ is recommendable for the people who wanted to avoid unnatural line and the incision scar as it is possible to make slim and natural line like non-incision method, while the line doesn’t disappear easily.

Dr. Seung ho Choi, plastic surgery specialist at ID Hospital explained “Often people feel repulsion at incision method because it leaves clear trace of plastic surgery, but it is possible to make natural and slim double eyelid line thorough incision method when the muscle and fat are remained enough after removing them out."

The process of removing excessive fat and muscle after making double eyelid line is essential if the patients want to have natural double eyelid. Double eyelid can be slim and natural no matter how the double eyelid is designed when the eyelid is slim as excessive fat and muscle are removed through skinny incision method.

Also since the incision area is smaller than other incision double eye lid surgery method, it is possible to reduce recovery period if the surgery is done by experienced plastic surgery specialists as they can process surgery through limited operation slit which can reduce swellings. Thus skinny incision method is also well known as revision surgery method that is to correct wrong double eyelid surgery results.

Dr. Choi advised “Recent incision method has been developed to make ideal slim double eyelid that doesn’t disappear while avoiding unnatural ‘sausage looking eyes’.””It will be possible to make double eyelid that is as natural as non-incision method by incision method when the surgery is done by plastic surgery specialist who is very experienced in eye surgery.

Meanwhile ID Hospital that established new ‘Asian Beauty Center (ABC)’ building is structured with facial plastic surgery specialized 8 exclusive teams, and is a hospital leveled medical institution that offers 1:1 medical service by operating exclusive medical team and treatment room for eyes and nose.

What is skinny incision?

For eyelids that have excess amounts of fat deposits, muscles, tissues and thick skin,
an incisional eyelid surgery is usually done.
But people tend to feel uncomfortable with incisions. They are worried that the double eyelid would be too deep and thick.
Skinny incision supplements all of these disadvantages of conventional incisional methods.
The natural crease of the upper eyelid is one of the best advantages of skinny incision.
The name ‘skinny incision’ is used to refer to the crease looking natural and smooth.

Main characteristics of the procedure

The eyelid becomes slim because excess fat, muscles and tissues that make the eyelid thick are redistributed or removed.

Skinny incision is needed when

there is excess fat or muscles in the eyelid or there are both

the skin in the eyelid is thick

the skin in the eyelid is severely droopy

the patient has already received eyelid surgery

the muscle that opens the eye is relatively weak (a slight degree of eyelid ptosis)

the patient wants a very deep crease

the eyelashes poke the pupil

The differences between ‘skinny incision surgery’ and ‘normal incision method’

Normal incisional eyelid surgery creates a crease after performing an incision and then sutures the skin.
In contrast, skinny incision eyelid surgery redistributes or removes excess fat deposits and muscles that make
the crease get thick.
This procedure improves the patient’s eyelids that naturally look thick and heavy.
The crease is think and light so you don’t need to worry about ending up with a so called “sausage eye” that look chubby and swollen.
