I'm 2 years post-double-eyelid surgery, but I was stressed because of that puffy sausage-like look, so I finally had revision surgery Lowering the line was my priority, and since some eye tissue had been excised during my first surgery, I didn't want an excisional revision method, so I had a consultation at a hospital known for the two-line method and had surgery yesterday
For my first surgery, it was done only under local anesthesia, and I had memories of being really scared, so I was very nervous On top of that, since the surgery hadn't gone well, I was so nervous before the procedure But this surgery was done with sedation anesthesia + local anesthesia, so it felt less scary than last time and like it ended quickly? My mom said it seemed to take longer than the first surgery, but subjectively the time passed really fast lol The feeling of sedation anesthesia was like being on drugs. I was asleep, but suddenly it felt like I was flying and had flown high up into the sky, and my field of vision(?) or whatever you'd call it kept changing colors rapidly, so it was really fascinating
After the surgery, I looked in the mirror and it was fascinating because the line had definitely come down compared to before surgery. The line seems to have come out well, so I'm relieved... though I'll have to keep watching as the swelling goes down I was the hospital's last surgery of the day, and maybe because of that there was no recovery time and it felt like they were rushing me out... that was very bad, but it may also have been because it was quite late
On the day of surgery, there wasn't much swelling, but today, the next day, I see it's really swollen... Everyone said revision surgery doesn't swell much, so I thought mine would be like that too... After coming out of surgery, I was worried because both eyes wouldn't close well, but after a few hours my right eye closed properly. My left eye is better than at first, but still the same When I had my first surgery, my left eye closed well and my right eye didn't close well, but it's the opposite this time, so that's interesting But lagophthalmos also resolved over time after my first surgery, so I think I should wait for now
More than that, the shape of the outer corner of my left eye is a bit strange, but I think I'll have to wait as the swelling goes down
