Dear Leenaaa,leenaaaa wrote:I just came back from my consultation with Dr H.
Although consultation and medication cost me $658.04, I feel far more confident with him than with Dr K. Apart from his extraordinarily high charges, I found Dr H very detailed, examined my face very carefully, intelligent, easy to talk to, and most importantly he listens to the patient!
However I feel incredibly upset now.
Dr H told me that one of my eyes open 1 mm larger than the other, and that one crease is 1 mm bigger than the other. Also he said that it is highly likely that after the swelling has gone down, I will have a barely visible crease! (I specifically requested for a medium height crease!) He said that this was done intentionally by the surgeon. Also, he said that there isn't much difference in terms of the epicantoplasty procedure. I might need to have steroid injections to reduce the scarring. I can probably only have my eyes fixed earliest in 3 months. I will probably need to have a fat graft or fillers to my eyes too.
Also, he said that my implant is crooked to the right because it is too long. He also said that the implant seems quite thick (I specifically asked for a slight augmentation). In terms of the nasal tip, it is droopy (took long like I feared). He said the cost to redo everything is about $15,000. I could barely hold back the tears when he said this. There is no way that I can afford this!
As for my chin, he said that it is slightly uneven because Dr K prob didn't customize the implant to fit my slightly lopsided chin. He also said that the stitching in my mouth is uneven and although the stitches haven't come undone, the stitches doesn't look like it is holding together very well.
I couldn't answer all his questions about my surgery and about the material used because despite asking Dr K numerous times, he cannot be bothered to tell me.
He recommended for me to go back for a check up in a week.
I really do not know what to do now. All I know is that I can't afford to do anything at the moment and definately can't go to him for a revision. Unless I win the lottery or something!
