based on your picture, you are a candidate for Asian double eyelid surgery to give you more symmetry. probably the best technique will be the open incision. as for the epicanthoplasty, you are a candidate as well. I would recommend the "magic" epicanthoplasty/minimal scar/rotational technique to minimize and hide the scar in your epicanthus. epicanthoplasty is give you a wider eye(increasing the east west direction and not the north south direction. ...

based on your picture, I don't think your base I wide. I would not recommend a weir excision. as for the thickness of your alar, there is no surgical treatment to "thin" the ala. for Asians, it is difficult to just do a tip platy because the bridge is also low or "short"....with the picture it is difficult to give you any recommendations because I can not see the whole nose. sometimes if you have not support at the tip like most Asians, ear cartilage is...
Jan 19, 2020
based on your pictures, I believe the ones with the covered eyes are yours and the one at the end are pictures of what you want to achieve?? you are a good candidate for an Asian rhinoplasty vs Caucasian rhinoplasty. if you feel your bridge or starting point is too low, that area can be augmented and the tip reduced and refined but not give you a "pinched look". I would recommend you see a plastic surgeon who does more Asian rhinoplasty for an evaluation. hope this...

it would help if I could know your height and weight but based on your pictures, difficult to assess how much fat you have enough to do a bbl.....everyone has fat but you need a lot to show a difference in your butt volume and shape. ave volume to each buttock is usually 600-1000 cc of pure fat. higher volume is necessary because 50% of the amount transferred usually survive. hope this helps. I would recommend for you to go see a plastic surgeon for a consultation...

based on your pictures, when you smile, your muscles around the eye will distort the double eyelids. when you are not animating, your double fold is larger and I do not see ptosis in your right eye....you have different eye sizes so that is not correctable with surgery. to increase your fold size when you are animating, recommendations to limit that is either to do botox which is temporary or surgically treat with a brow lift. if any surgical revision is done with...

based on your picture, your asymmetry is not significant and most people have asymmetry to their eyes and face. as for Asian double lid surgery, you are a good candidate. there are many different techniques so I would recommend you go see a plastic surgeon who does a lot of Asian double lid surgery to discuss your options. hope this helps.

from your picture, your results are very good. being 2.5 months post op, you will have some changes still happening with your scar outside and inside. with a closer look, your right fold maybe slightly bigger than the left but not noticeable. to give you reassurance, your results are good so at current time, I would not recommend any revisions but if a revision is needed, I usually recommend waiting a year from surgery.

based on your comment, it should now be 4 months from you surgery. the picture you submitted at 3 weeks post op should now be very different. you still have 2 more months for further subtle shape changes and it will ultimately settle to final shape in 1 year from surgery. hope this helps.

after reviewing your picture, your right eyelid crease is slightly larger than the left one. it is possible to revise your crease height but you need to wait at least 1 year from your surgery to allow scar maturation. each time you do surgery there are risks and asymmetry of the fold is a risk. it would be best to see your plastic surgeon or another plastic surgeon for evaluation. hope this helps.
