If we only count my double-eyelid surgery history (?), I have had quite a few... I have tried both partial-incision and buried-suture methods, and this time is another revision. So I actually spent a lot of time deliberating over whether it was right to alter anything more this time...
I thought it would be nice if just the front part of my current crease showed a little more, so I went in considering upper canthoplasty. But during the consultation, they said there was no need to do it. After seeing the kind of eyes I wanted, they explained that, in my current condition, it would be better to redefine the existing crease rather than add upper canthoplasty.
In the end, I had revision surgery using only triple buried sutures, without upper canthoplasty. Honestly, I had also thought that adding this and that might make me prettier, but the consultant did not simply say everything I mentioned was good. They distinguished between what I needed for my eyes and what I did not really need. I think that was what reassured me most.
Above all, since this was my nth revision, before surgery I felt much more strongly, “This time, it really has to turn out okay...” than excitement. But looking at my crease now, I think it was good that I did not go as far as upper canthoplasty. It feels as though only the parts I had found disappointing were refined, without straying too far from my original eyes?
Since I have had eye surgery several times, I thought it would be harder to be satisfied, but I like this crease quite a lot. I had heard that the doctor is especially good at revisions, and they truly are the best... Now I really want to graduate from double-eyelid surgery 😌
