hey guys tomorrow I will be getting lower eyelid elevation (with spacer graft + canthoplasty) + nanofat transfer to undereye for dark circles and upper eyelid for UEE with dr ayse dolar (reputable oculoplastic surgeon, I'm paying 15k euros for this)
during our in person consultation today, she told me that when she does fat grafting to reduce UEE, she is conservative and her explanation was something like if you overcorrect with fat graft it's irreversible vs if i want filler she can be agressive because it's reversible. I asked what "overcorrection" means here, what the consequences are and i think she replied "you will have hooded eyes" or i think also something about being too puffy? but my question to you is, are hooded eyes always desirable? should i just have told her yes I want an irreversible overcorrection give me irreversible hooded eyes!!?
also for the first time in her career, she is uncertain if i have enough BF for the lipo, she said tomorrow before surgery she will have someone clear me if it's ok, or if not she will only do the cantho. but reading from rattinan threads on the forum, there is no minimum BF% right and i should be gucci? BTW i am well above 10% I'm sure. (140 lbs at 5'7 with decent muscle mass lifetime natty, i was 130 lbs when shredded on reta)
by the way i also asked for positive orbiral vector and she said the only real fix is orbital decompression +/- rim implant which she doesn't do for cosmetic purposes because she thinks the risk/reward is bad, but she said that my eyelid elevation + fat grafting will give an illusion that eyes are more deep set with more positive ortbital vector and a lot of patients are happy with that alone, so i will go see taban next year if i'm not satisfied by then
this is very last minute but any feedback would be appreciated
in any case she did tell me that if i want something more agressive at a latter date, there is no problem i can just go to rattinan then. she also told me that it's very optional in my case and that her patients who ask for fat graft for UEE have a goal similar to my actual UEE...
do you think it comes down to her just not being blackpilled? BTW she seems goated as an oculoplastic and I did extensive research and I am not here to save $ at all, i'm not letting a random doc mess with my eye area ofc
