I was worried about issues like asymmetry on both sides after under-eye filler, so I decided on lower blepharoplasty and had a consultation because they said they specialize in revision eye surgery. They said they really dislike patients who come in after getting under-eye filler and that they don't want to operate, saying it absolutely cannot be removed 100%, and they cannot guarantee the surgical result. They said since it had been 1 year since the filler, the wrinkles not caused by filler were already severe.
It made me feel like I had done something very wrong, and I felt uncomfortable, wondering if it really couldn't be reversed, but I comforted myself by thinking that speaking realistically actually made them trustworthy. They told me to get it removed first. I had a re-consultation 1 month after removal. I had it removed at the dermatology clinic where I had the procedure. They said there that it had all dissolved, but as soon as he saw me, he said, look at this, it hasn't all been removed.. He showed me surgical results from a case similar to mine and said it cannot be perfectly removed. He said patients say they will take that into account, but after seeing the surgical results they keep changing their story, so he even records the conversations. When I asked the dermatology clinic where I had the procedure, they were like, which plastic surgery clinic is saying that? lol
Since the statements were so different, I asked questions like the dermatology clinic says it's all done, and whether I shouldn't hope for more than the case photos, and he said why should he take responsibility for another hospital, and that he also chooses which patients he accepts lol. He said I was someone who wants a 100% result from surgery, and that he wouldn't operate. I mean, of course when you get surgery you hope for the best possible effect, and I just didn't understand this situation and needed time to process it, but his attitude made it seem like I was some kind of difficult patient, so I was dumbfounded. If it was this serious, I wondered which other hospital I should look for.
(Actually, I decided to have surgery here last year, but the manager said I asked too many questions and told me not to do it if I couldn't trust them like this, speaking harshly, and I was forced to cancel. The director said I had to trust his words 100%, no matter what lol. When I went back this time, all the hospital staff had completely changed. They said there had been a storm? at the hospital around the end of the year.)
Even after hearing those harsh words, I thought of it separately from the director's skill, and rather believed that the director was honest without exaggeration and skilled, so I went. Thinking about it now, both the director and the staff all speak harshly. I wondered what I had done so wrong, and whether they mainly want obedient cases who are not sensitive or full of worries and just want surgery..
In the end, at another hospital they said what he said made no sense, and at yet another hospital they said it was not at all severe enough to say that...
