Eye Surgery Reviews

My double eyelid revision was a disaster (the doctor's ridiculous behavior)

Because the photos only show my eyes cropped out, it may not come across strongly, but first of all, I was someone who used to hear a lot that I had a feminine and elegant impression. But now my impression has become sharper, and because the line has become lower, the amount of empty space in my face has changed and my proportions are thrown off;; I had surgery 10 years ago, and even then I ended up with uneven eyes, so I wasn’t happy. At first one eye opened too widely, then as time passed the other eye started opening in a sleepy way, and especially when taking photos, the difference in pupil exposure was the most stressful thing. So I looked only for clinics famous for asymmetry and ptosis, went to consultations at several places, almost 15 places? This surgery was a full revision: they lowered the line with a double-line method overall, and on the left side they did recession surgery plus fascia grafting. There was also a part from the double-eyelid surgery 10 years ago where one side had been overcorrected. I was a bit concerned that the director was older, but he seemed professional in ptosis and asymmetry, so I trusted him and went ahead. But the result was truly disastrous. The original double-eyelid height was about 7 to 8 mm, but now it is about 2 to 3 mm. It looks almost like a no-fold eye, the eyelid has covered the pupil, and it even feels like the eyelid is hooking up toward the eyebrow, with the skin above it wrinkled into folds. Right before surgery, I even showed the photo I wanted and asked for an in-out line lower than the current one. (I had shown the same photo during the earlier consultation and said I wanted this kind of look, and after looking at it they said they understood what I meant.) When we were talking about the design right before surgery, I pointed at my photo and said: Director: Is the line high now? Me: Yes. I want it a bit lower, in-out style. Director: Then we can just do a double-line method. That’ll be easier for me too. That was basically the conversation. We designed it in the operating room and it was really simple. I just trusted him. But during the surgery, I suddenly heard the director say, "We’ll cut the eyelid later~" At the time I didn’t know what that meant, but after the surgery I saw that the eyelid was covering an abnormally large amount. At first I thought it was just swelling, but in a panic I went to the 2-week follow-up. Then the director said: "You asked for it lower, so it’s true that we did an in-line." "The eyelid coverage can be cut away after 5 to 6 months." He said this without even looking closely at my eyes, just talking casually. What I don’t understand is that I asked for the line to be lower than it is now, not to make it almost a no-fold eye. That is a rather uncommon case, too, isn’t it? If the low line the doctor had in mind was this low and gave such a no-fold look, then * they should have explained that the eyelid could cover more. * they should have explained that it could look like a no-fold eye. * they should have explained that the impression could look stuffy or sharp. Shouldn’t they have said that? And shouldn’t they have checked again at least once whether this was really what I wanted? Then I would have corrected it again and explained the style I wanted.. Where on earth did it go wrong.. I’m so stressed now that I can’t sleep properly, can’t eat properly, and my heart keeps pounding. I’m losing weight too, and I’m planning to go to a psychiatry clinic tomorrow. Since it has already happened, I’m thinking of trying to recover as much as possible while looking into revision surgery, What I want to know is: 1. After recovery, can this kind of state be corrected with a second revision? 2. If it was lowered with a double-line method, is it possible to raise the line again? 3. In cases like this, has anyone received a refund of the surgery fee because of a violation of the duty to explain or a design-related issue? If anyone has had a similar experience, please give me advice (I won’t disclose the clinic information). I’ll respond calmly, or else I’ll either hire a lawyer and file a dispute settlement request, or I’ll completely tear the clinic apart.
