Hi guys!
If you’re wondering who is this imposter wearing a pink wig pretending to be Xiaxue
it’s actually still me!
Just without make up.
Ok and if you’re thinking why?
Why are you freaking us out like that?
It’s because today I’m actually going to be doing plastic surgery.
So I cannot put any makeup on.
And today I’ll be doing an eyelid revision and a nose revision.
I think when I tell people I want to do this surgery,
they always tell me I’m crazy.
That I look fine.
I think that’s because I’m really good with applying makeup
so with makeup a lot of this flaws cannot really be seen
because there’s a lot of things going with my face.
I know how I look like without makeup and I would like to you know go out in public
and just be happy with my face instead of feeling that people might be able
to see all these flaws.
I guess if I can fix it again I would.
And I would like to just make it clear today’s surgery I’m actually paying for it.
So this is not a sponsored advertisement or anything like that.
But I know you guys are very interested in plastic surgery
so Dr Huang has actually kindly agree to let us film inside the theatre
so you’ll actually get to see how the surgery is done
so yah you guys are in for a journey.
I’ve changed into my scrubs so there you go.
Very ugly.
So I’m going to the room now to do what is called markings.
Where I guess Dr Huang would be like drawing on my face to see where he wants to cut later.
And also I’m supposed to take some before shots.
So I know you guys are like thinking what the @#$%
Haven't you done like your freaking nose like two times
and your eyes like two times and now you’re going for a third?
So yes, today I am.
And I’ll explain to you guys why.
For my nose, I actually did my nose twice already.
And both times I actually did it with Dr Martin Huang.
And I’m very happy with how my nose turned out.
Because if you look at my old photos you would see that my nose was
very babus, very flat, very big and very lumpy.
So basically a lot of people have told me the really really like my nose job.
The only thing that I’m a little bit not so happy with is
the columella still has kind of a scar.
So you can see that there's a bit of an indentation here.
Where Dr Huang has to actually open the nose to do the surgery.
It’s not very obvious.
I think if it’s like a three quarter view like that you can kinda see how there is an
indentation that goes in here.
But to me if I were to go under to do my eyes anyway, I might as well fix this as well.
So it’s just something a little bit that’s bothering me.
So today I guess I would like to smoothen out that indentation.
And how it’s gonna be done is that I’m gonna harvest this ear cartilage
and put one inside here as another implant (correction: cartilage graft) I guess.
A columella implant.
Which I never heard of anyone else doing but you know
Dr Huang is doing my surgery today and says that he is confident in doing it so ok.
Ok so I’m being sedated now.
And I have completely gone under so I have no idea what’s going on.
If you’re wondering why there’s a picture of me here.
Dr Huang has explained he always puts a picture of his patient
so that he can constantly refer to the picture and look at
the front, the side, below etc…
All the ways he wants to change it.
And it also acts as a checklist for him.
So what’s happening right now is that Dr Huang is injecting some local anesthesia into
my nose.
And this is to make sure my nose is pain free when I do wake up
even though I’m unconscious right now.
So he’s commencing with the cutting of the columella and you can see here that it’s
already opened.
And if you’re wondering what is this two pieces of white paper
they are actually called “patties”.
And they have little wires attached to them as a fail safe in case they fall into your nose.
But the patties are actually use to soak up blood and fluid so that it won’t flow down
your throat during the surgery.
So he’s making his insertion so now you can see that the columella is open.
And this will let him put in my columella implant (correction: cartilage graft).
So what you’re looking at right now is my ear.
Dr Huang actually decided on my left ear because he said that the cartilage area for that ear
is a little bit bigger.
He’s actually using a marker to draw a line along the rim so that he knows precisely where
to make his cut.
And just like that, the cartilage is taken out.
He actually took out a pretty big piece of cartilage and this part of the surgery
actually took a pretty long time because using the cartilage he actually fashioned
it into four different pieces to put into my nose.
I might be the person in the world with the most amount of things in her nose.
So you can see right now that he’s testing the fit and modifying the cartilage
with very very precise little cuts.
So that it will be perfect for the nose.
So here he is modifying it again and even though the surgery I wanted it to reduce
the indentation on the the columella, we both actually agreed that my nose will
actually benefit from some addition projection and definition.
So he actually put in a big piece of cartilage at the tip so that the tip will be a little
bit more define and more pointy.
So after a few hours, Dr Huang actually sewed up the wound and my nose is done.
So I actually did my eyes back in 2015 in Malaysia and the surgery is not done by Dr
Martin Huang.
And what I did was an insertion for double eyelid surgery to make it deeper and more permanent.
And also epicanthoplasty which is the opening of the inner eye corner
to make your eyelids more parallel.
I guess the surgery didn’t heal that well.
I’m quite pleased with how it turned out actually but there are still some parts I’m
not very happy with.
The eyelid area is not smooth here.
There’s almost like a little ridge.
And then there are like these little white patches which is a little lumpy at the inner
corner.
Also, it’s not the surgeon’s fault because if you can look at the insertion scars
you can kinda see them and it kinda ends here.
Like there’s a line that’s quite obvious that it ends here.
So the double eyelid is supposed to be like that.
Parallel to how my eyes are but instead it kinda tapers in and joins almost.
And that kinda makes the eyes old I guess and that’s not what I wanted.
But I think the skin was too like saggy or maybe the muscle is not tight enough
then even though the insertion was here the line is still here.
So that’s one of the things I don’t really like.
Today I’m also gonna do a ptosis surgery.
Ptosis surgery is actually to lift up the muscle in your eyelids so that it doesn’t
sag so much.
So when you look at my eyes you can actually see that a lot of the iris is covered by the eyelid.
Because probably the muscle there is not strong enough to hold it up.
So it looks like it’s a bit sleepy all the time.
So it covers a lot of my iris.
And also he has personally said that he thinks that the lines are a little bit too deep and
it kinda looks a bit artificial.
So to sort of lessen that out a little bit too.
So here you can see that Dr Huang is working on the medial epicanthoplasty
which is the opening of the inner eye corner.
And he’s making his insertion.
I guess some of you maybe asking you know if you had a previous eyelid insertion
then can it be changed?
Will it go to the new crease instead of the old crease.
And the answer is actually yes.
You crease position can be changed.
It’s because the crease is actually created by putting stitches in place
so as long as you remove the old stitches and sort of loosen and disrupt the old stitches
and you put new stitches in place then it will hold up the new crease.
Ok, right not Dr Huang is actually making very precise cuts to my double eyelid and
opening it up.
It’s a little bit gross.
Actually during my double eyelid surgery I was awake and kind of conscious.
I felt no pain whatsoever of course but I was aware of what was going on in a groggy
manner.
So even though it looks like it’s very painful I’m not in any pain or any distress.
Ok, warning!
This part is gonna get super disgusting and graphic.
Alright, so this white thing you see is actually the ptosis repair that’s going on.
So right now he’s actually doing a ptosis repair and he’s stitching my eyelid muscles
to my eyelid cartilage.
Yes, there is actually eyelid cartilage.
So it’s something you learn today.
And ptosis repair will actually enable you to open your eyes bigger.
So that’s what he’s doing right now.
I would also love to point out that at this point you can see that there’s a
very nice little profile of my new nose.
Oh my god.
I’m in love with it.
It’s so cute.
So he’s checking my eyes right now asking me to open it big and so he can see
where the crease goes and right now Dr Huang is actually checking the ptosis repair
and making sure that the eyes are symmetrical.
Now he’s doing ptosis repair of the other side of the eye.
And even though at this point he’s actually done with the epicanthoplasty
he’s actually not done with the crease yet.
And Dr Huang is pushing down my forehead to ask my to open my eyes to make sure
I’m not using my forehead muscles to yank open my eyes.
So he’s just making sure that everything looks perfect.
So after Dr Huang has stitched up my eyelids, my eyes are actually done
and right now he’s actually doing a final check on my nose to apply some tapes on
the nose and the tape will actually help to stabilise the cartilage and reduce swelling.
All in all, the surgery took about nine hours.
Nine freaking hours.
And this whole time, he did not go to the toilet or eat.
Errr yah…
I’m feeling very groggy right now.
My eyes feel very swollen and I can’t really open it.
But I’m not in pain.
Just kinda really groggy and sleepy I guess and no energy.
But you know what?
When I was going under my shoulder aches stopped for a bit so that was nice.
@#$% my shoulder aches are back.
The nose feels a lot more comfortable than the eyes.
Almost like nothing was done to it.
So I don’t feel anything on my nose at all.
But the eyes I can tell that it’s swollen although it’s not painful.
And right eye is significantly drier than the left for some reason.
So that’s causing me a little discomfort as it keep tearing and being wet.
But other than that, everything is fine.
Oh my ear!
My ear feels nothing.
Cannot feel anything on the ear.
From here it will take about a week before the stitches comes off.
That’s what I was told.
And then after that it will slowly de-swell.
But of course Dr Huang will say the most optimal period will be months and months later where
it is completely not swollen.
But I think maybe after a month or after three weeks you can kind of like go out to public
and not be scary.
I’m feeling really hungry right now.
Kinda want to eat but I wouldn’t be able to tell what I’m eating so I hope my mom
has the sense to buy food for me.
Alright, so we’ve come to the end of the episode
and I guess if you want to see how I recover and how the end results looks like
I’m gonna be vlogging my whole recovery journey on my own channel.

Better don’t smile.
Huh?! I look like that only? So normal?
Nice. What about my ear?

Try not to.
Shit.
