In plastic surgery, lateral canthal ectropion after a canthoplasty is usually corrected with lateral canthal fixation, but it is very hard to find cases for the medial canthus, so I went to two ophthalmic plastic surgery professors who are known as top experts. Both of them said that the most urgent issue in my current state was correcting the ectropion. They explained that the problems caused by the epicanthoplasty, such as loss of the under-eye puff, hollowness, and wrinkles, are not something that can be touched at this stage. In particular, one professor even said it was already "out of the hands of plastic surgery," and mentioned that surgery such as a lazy T incision into the mucous membrane could even be considered... Of course, other plastic surgeons suggested various methods as well. Some ophthalmology and plastic surgery clinics turned me away, saying there was no solution. But honestly, even if someone says they can fix it somewhere, I am now in a state where I cannot easily believe any surgical explanation. That is because of the major trauma left by everything I have gone through over the past 6 months. The ectropion in both eyes is still there, and when I look up, the scleral show looks severely asymmetric, so I live every day worrying that people may think my eyes look strabismic. There is still hollowness around the tear duct area, loss of under-eye puff, dry eyes, altered shape, caruncle exposure, worse dark circles, and under-eye wrinkle issues all left together. And what scares me most is that there is not even a clear idea of how this can be restored going forward. What kind of surgery will be needed, how many more surgeries it will take, how many years it will take, and what additional side effects may happen during the process are all realities I have to bear myself T_T It has been unbearably painful every day T_T
