I originally had double eyelids, but they were weak double eyelids where the line changed every day. While studying for exams, I gained 7-8 kg, and even that disappeared, leaving me with only inner double eyelids, so I got double eyelid surgery.
After the first incisional surgery, it came undone in less than a month, two lines formed, and the eyes were uneven, so 1 year and 2 months later, I had a second incisional surgery. It has now been 6 months since the second incisional surgery, but the depressed scar, mucosal eversion, and asymmetry are still severe..
At the hospital where I had the second surgery, they say to wait until 1 year, that from their view there is still swelling, that actually it needs to be about this much now for satisfaction to be higher later, otherwise some people regret it because it droops.. and that I may need to wait 2-3 years. That is what they say.
On the other hand, I recently had a consultation at another hospital famous for revision eye surgery. They said my current eyes do not have a high line so much as the fixation is deep, causing mucosal eversion, and that it would not be making a second line, but rather re-fixing only the internal adhesions along that same line, and that ptosis correction is needed again to correct the uneven eyes. They said that, in their view, the mucosal eversion probably would not improve even after 1 year. They also said there have been people whose mucosal eversion stayed the same even after several years.
My mom also went to the consultation with me, and she said she had seen people around her improve only after waiting 2-3 years, so she does not think I should put a knife to it again.. She says to wait 1 year. She says it could also be because I still gained weight..;;;
I am now a college freshman, but because of my eyes I cannot even take photos freely, and I feel self-conscious about standing in front of people. I am really so stressed... If there are people who struggled because of mucosal eversion and scars like me.. I would like to hear your stories.. Right now I just feel so lost.. and angry..
