DR ANGA ?

Okay, some introduction here, so... Dr Anga has been my family's trusted Plastic Surgeon in JB for a long long time (My extended family all resides in Johor) .. apparently my grandfather was the first to get things done.. by saying 'things' , nothing major -- just something like a simple eyelid surgery probably 10 years ago LOL so hip. So on, the rest of my fam got things done by him too, but all was nothing major, mostly face lifting and removal of oil bumps / moles etc ! But I heard he does other minor surgeries regarding vessels too . He is a very recognized and well respected doctor in Johor, win quite a lot of awards, as displayed in his clinic !

So everyone??? in JB goes to Dr Anga for cosmetic enhancements as he is the probably most well known around here and thus his schedule is jam packed every single day ! extremely hard to book an appointment !! But my aunts help we managed to get a slot in less than a month's wait. Haha !! 

WHY ?

My boy has been thoroughly concerned about his droopy eyelids for almost the whole of his life . As you can see from the pictures below , the BEFORE pic, he has one droopy eyelid and basically very sleepy looking eyes .......... and he always tell me he is sick of it HAHA. 

Actually, Dr Angka was not the first one we consulted regarding his one side droopy eyelids , during NS he consulted the National Eye Centre in Singapore, and they quoted him SGD 1000 per eye if they were going to do it for him, and it is not double eyelid !!! Its only pull up the eyelids to even out the look of the eyes !!! >.<

So I told him about Dr Anga and how my fam got things done by him, apparently my fam only trusts him. Haha.. so he decided to take a leap of faith and JUST DO IT !!

*now he has said this is the best thing he has ever done for himself. LOLOL

HOW?

First Visit : was in December 2014 -- nearing Christmas. We decided to go for consultation first. 

As usual, waiting for DR Anga appointment usually takes hours, we waited for 2 hours past our appt time this time round. Haha... and consultation took only 15 mins ! Just told him what we wanna do , then he quote us $$$ and "demo" to us on how the end result will look like by using a prick like thingy to lift up the eyelid folds .

SOME BEFORE PICS:

Very obvious uneven eyes...

Background Info : Types of Eyelid Surgery 

There are two types of eyelid surgery:

1) Incision (Cutting) and 2) Suture (Sewing) Technique.

Two things to put into consideration:

1) how long you want the fold to last & 2) the recovery period

1) Incision Method will definitely last longer as the surgeon will cut the excess skin away and sew the eyelids back together (straight forward saying). The results are more permanent and the surgeon has more control to remove extra skin and fat and design the fold height and shape ...

BIG BUT , the downtime takes a lot longer – possible swelling for more than a month, and could only fully heal after several months. There might be scars and it looks less natural as skin is removed like an operation !! 

2) Sewing Technique is a procedure that doesn't require going under the knife (OK, not majorly, but they will only cut 3 small holes). The double eyelids are created by a quick and simple procedure done under anaesthesia, and is completed in under an hour .

 GOOD THAT , minor wounds are created, the healing will take only a few days. The downtime from the scarless method is mainly from some swelling and occasional bruising. 

For our case, Dr Anga suggested the sewing method then so be it !! 

You can tell him how thick or thin you want it to be (your double eyelid fold) and also either parallel or tapered crease.. but he know how to judge so he will do the most suitable for your face, 

Tapered Crease, Parallel Crease

Pics from GOOGLE.

AHHHHH !!! SURGERY DAY

I went with him that day . The entire surgery took less than 1 hour, under anesthesia thus cannot go alone, will need someone to fetch !

The waiting time for Dr Anga took about 2 hours , because he had a surgery before this. We insisted on him to do it as he is the most experienced, I think there is a few other doctors there.

The actual surgery time was less than 1 hour, I was waiting outside for him . 

After that , then a nurse came up (the operation room is downstairs) and asked me to go downstairs to see him .

He was lying on the bed & very drowsy -- i kept asking him pain or not, he say not pain but very very drowsy . I think the anesthesia was quite strong !

Frankly I was quite scared at first because the eyes look very uneven and one is swelling so much more than the other !

Then before we left the clinic we asked the nurse HOW?!! WHAT IF REALLY UNEVEN?! *shock face* The nurse just say , wait for 2 months - if really uneven then come back again ! Can do some re-stitch for free .. but no free anesthesia next time ...... wah :o

The nurse gave him painkillers & antibiotics for healing , medicine to last 7 days. 

AFTER THE SURGERY 

Fetched him back to the hotel to rest - stayed at KSL that day 

(side note: KSL apartment 3 bedrooms - very spacious & comfortable && very cheap ! Is about $120/night only hee hee) 

He felt giddy / drowsy and didnt have much appetite the entire day. The surgery completed at 4pm . Reach back hotel 4.30pm. So he slept from then till about 9pm , woke him up for his dinner. 

After the anesthesia wore off , he gradually felt pain. But still bearable..

NECESSITIES 

1) I also bought him FISH ESSENCE - from Eu Yang Sang  LOL I heard it helps to heal faster !!

*he is a slow healer -- takes forever to recover from pimples...... :x

He took 1 bottle everyday for 6 days :D

2) MANY MANY ICE PACKS !!!

He put overnight and keep on changing. Need for the de-swell.. MUST USE.. LIFE SAVER

DAY 1

"its like something pulling my eyelids - cannot close properly" for the first night 

There is no bleeding though , dried blood stains... just a very bad swelling !! So uneven I was so scared! The key is eyes will be very itchy or irritated , DO NOT RUB

DAY 2 : 

Back at Home. Think the swelling decreased a lot !!!

Because he keep spam Ice Packs and also drink a lot of water -- also Im sure my fish essence helped lol.

Minimal Pain - Still Must Spam ICE PACKS!!!!

DAY 3: 

DAY 4:

DAY 6 :

We went to 4D3N KRABI with our friends somemore, about 7 days after his surgery !! HAHAA

Swimming in the Sea wasn't a problem. 

Just be sure to wear sunglasses and refrain from rubbing eyes.

DAY 10 :

DAY 14 & AFTER :

*this is the time I think it looks more and more natural ..
But almost none of his colleagues or friends realised that he went to do this ! HAHAHAAA 

Now it looks very natural already !!! and its significant difference ... hahaa... my parents keep saying lucky he go & do , add marks LOL .. 

Anyway if really droop again or uneven, can go back and do again.. lol... heheeeee. Just refrain from touching eyes area thats all . Pain level he say is about 6/10 or so.. 

The worst day was the 1ST DAY. All the others is manageable ! (his own experience!)

Thanks for reading our diary post on his surgery ! Again have to repeat that please do your own research and speak to the doctor before you decide on anything ! Cheers :) 

US DURING CNY :)
