I’m using the last of my vacation time before baby comes to spend 2 weeks in Korea to see the masters at work on Asian eyelid surgery! I planned this trip before I got pregnant & my husband couldn’t take time off at the same time.

I was a little scared at first traveling alone pregnant, but this has been one of the most incredible learning experiences of my career. I spent ~a week shadowing Dr Choi & Kim at Wink plastic surgery & can’t believe how much I’ve learned. So grateful for this experience! I have another week left shadowing Dr. Sa at Asan Medical Center & Dr. Woo at Samsung Medical Center!

Even after years in training, surgeons/doctors are always learning new techniques 🥰

first trimester as a doctor was soo challenging for me - the constant nausea (but also hungry at the same time), feeling post-call/hungover every day despite sleeping 9 hours every night, crazy indigestion, and all while acting like all was well at work. Overall just didn’t feel like myself, but doing much better now in my 2nd trimester 😮‍💨

#femalesurgeon
We have a little surprise - I’m 4 months pregnant!! Our little beach baby is coming this fall 🏝️

To all the mamas out there, I was so humbled by 1st trimester. Learning to navigate all the nausea and fatigue while pretending everything was ok in clinic and the OR is another level of stamina I didn’t know I had lol. Women are incredible
lol if you’re tired of looking at these seemingly non-sensical suture packages, there’s actually a method to the madness!!

- the big number 6-0 refers to the suture thickness (sorry typo here, not the needle). The larger the number, the smaller the suture (ex. 10-0 is a tiny suture used in ocular surgery; vs 1-0 which is large and used for abdominal surgery)
- Suture material: there are so many. Commonly used ones in my field include prolene, nylon, silk - which are all non-absorbable sutures (won’t dissolve on their own). Others such as plain gut, vicryl, chromic are absorbable sutures that will dissolve over time.
- Needle Shape in Cross Section: examples include Spatula, Reverse-Cutting, Cutting, Taper. Spatula needles are flat on the inner & outer surface and good for things like a scleral pass in strabismus surgery. Reverse cutting is sharp at the outer edge. Cutting is sharp at the inner edge. Taper needle is sharp just at the tip and good for delicate structures like the conjunctiva.

just another Asian girl trying to combat her future fate of osteoporosis! Did you know almost 1 in 4 Asian females get osteoporosis after >60 years old? I’m lucky that I’m no longer in surgical residency/fellowship and can prioritize my health 💪🏻 and yes I really do love sleeping that early 🙈

#femalesurgeon
I’ll admit I trained in a specialty (ophtho) that initially wasn’t right for me. I love my fellow ophthalmologists and the field is so impressive, but i didn’t enjoy intraocular surgery, dilated fundus exams, or ocular pathology truthfully. I pivoted into an Oculoplastic surgery fellowship and I feel like it changed my entire outlook of my career. Things that previously felt forced in residency came naturally and easily. If you really love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work.

#femalesurgeon
I very much respect doctors of all fields - Doctor of philosophy, science, optometry, dentistry, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, medicine, list goes on - all technically doctors! Let’s not antagonize each other for no reason. I’m a doctor of medicine, a physician, and a surgeon 👩🏻‍⚕️💗

Interesting debate in the comments section of what the term “doctor” should entail - I didn’t realize the term was so nuanced, so thank you for everyone’s thoughts.
As an Asian female, I’m the spitting image of someone w future osteoporosis. Heavy Strength training 4x/week has been my non-negotiable for the last 6 months, since graduating fellowship! It’s truly done more for me mentally & physically than 6 years of Pilates/barre ever did. Osteoporosis runs in my family, so I’m doing everything I can to counter that. But seriously, my morning workouts make me feel like I can take on whatever crazy stressful thing comes at me at work.

Of note, I go to sleep before 9pm almost every day. And I wasn’t able to devote this amount of time to training, while I was in residency/fellowship. We also don’t have kids yet.

I don’t do this anymore. Self sabotage, self deprecate, put myself down. But I used to ALL THE TIME in residency. I look back at these entries, and I can’t believe I used to talk about myself this way. Young residents/doctors do this all the time, and we’ve gotta stop. What is the point of making yourself feel bad?

I’m Dr. Irene Lee, an oculoplastic surgeon who specializes in functional reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the eyelids, face, eyebrows, tear ducts, and orbit.

I’m a Taiwanese American girly & am fluent in Mandarin. I grew up in the Dallas Fort Worth area. As a child, every summer I used to go back to Taiwan w my mom. I’m married to my amazing husband Brett, who has been w me every step of my medical training since college.

My medical training has taken me all over the place! I went to Rice University in Houston for college, then Mount Sinai medical school in NYC, followed by Ophthalmology residency at Vanderbilt, and finally my ASOPRS Oculoplastic Surgery fellowship at Duke.
