I’m a case who suddenly had surgery right after graduating high school, led there by my mom.
They said, “You’re a freshman in college, would it be okay to have red scars on your eyes?” and recommended the buried-suture method instead of an incision. Even though my eyes are on the longer side, they shaped the line really well! I’m truly grateful for that part. However, since it was 10 years ago, maybe epicanthoplasty really wasn’t that advanced, because I still have scars.
The canthoplasty was done unevenly on both sides. On the left, there is a scar at the outer corner of the eye; on the right, it’s total chaos with excessive lacrimal caruncle exposure, a hook-shaped scar, a white-flesh scar, and disappearance of the aegyo-sal line. (I’m seriously looking into restoration surgery.)
For those considering eye surgery, I really hope you think carefully about epicanthoplasty and choose your clinic carefully. I think now that a lot of time has passed, there must be many clinics that are good at epicanthoplasty!
