*Reason I decided on revision surgery -My eyelid ptosis got worse, making me look sleepy -The middle part of the line was distorted and bent into a ㄷ shape -The front part of the line was too high =>Revision surgery to correct the line being pressed down and bent by drooping eyelids, and to lower it because it had previously been made large (But I wanted a line that looked thin from the front and became larger toward the back than before) The conclusion was incision + lowering the line + ptosis correction
1, One week after the first revision surgery The middle was still severely pressed down and the outer corner side was bent. Even with swelling, from the middle to the back line, it was exactly the same size as before, and the director agreed, so I had an early correction to make it larger. (From experience, for me, the shape when there was initial swelling stayed the same even after all the swelling went down, so I was anxious)
-> But they did the enlarging correction together all the way to the inner front part, so the shape didn’t change and only the size got bigger (I was flustered then…) -> It seems like a problem that happens because I didn’t consult and adjust directly face-to-face with the director; instead, 3 staff members came in one after another, relayed opinions, and then the doctor only marked the design, left, and only did the surgery. ->And suddenly they said the orbital bone was close, so they couldn’t make the end line bigger… I feel like this was something they could have known at the first consultation, so I was really disappointed when they suddenly said it like that. If I had known, I would have looked into another method or line

2, 15 days after surgery Finally all the stitches were removed
->After I lay down, closed my eyes, disinfection was finished, and anesthesia was done, the director came in, finished up in 30 seconds, and left. I still couldn’t hear any direct explanation of my progress, and he left right away without even looking at my eyes open (maybe he got the photos the staff took before removing the stitches and came after looking at them lol) I spent a lot of money, but that person is harder to see than a celebrity… lol
———
3, 7 days after stitch removal From this point, scar tissue started forming only on the side that had the early correction The front line kept getting bigger, and people around me started comforting me, saying it would be okay..
->The side that didn’t have early correction improved compared to before, but it wasn’t a line that gradually got bigger. Rather, when I looked downward, the front line looked bigger, so it wasn’t the line I wanted and the director said he would make (Acquaintances described the inner front of my eye as looking like a mountain..)
———
4, 3 months after surgery They said the scar would start improving after 3 months, so I endured it, but no matter how much time passed, there was no sign of improvement, and it felt even more botched than before, so in the end I went and got a scar injection -> From the day after the injection, the size definitely went down and it looked a bit better. I saw hope
———
5, 6 months after surgery After the scar injection, it stopped at the shape that had improved the next day (At that time, I was taking 50 photos of my eyes every day and felt like I was going crazy) It was still pressed down and bent, and on top of that the scar was severely fixed In the end, I made a consultation appointment to get AS and went there
-> The wait was enormous… In the end, I again couldn’t see the director’s face, and the consultant said I would need revision surgery if only because of the scar, and rather than waiting, she said she would send the photos to the director and contact me about how they would operate and the surgery date Ah…. I should have given up on AS then
———
6, 8 months after surgery No call came… I pushed them once, but considering this was plastic surgery season, I just held back and waited (It’s already a place with a long wait even on the surgery day, and I also didn’t want to go in a crowded season and wait even longer) But I wanted to finish before summer, so I asked them to schedule it now, and made a reservation to have revision surgery in the 9th month Honestly, this patience was only possible because I was unemployed lolololol
———
7, 9 months after surgery - the day of the second revision surgery I didn’t want to get greedy and ruin it, and the director also said to do only the side with the severe scar, so I decided to just do that But maybe he knew I still didn’t like the opposite side either, because he said he would do both sides (instead, by lowering the front line on both sides. Now, I realize the reason I kept not being satisfied was, ah, because of the epicanthal fold, the front line was bent, and I imagine by myself whether the result might have been a little different if I had at least seen the director’s face then and had a serious consultation again)
->What made me angry then was that they told me to come at 11, then called at 10 asking why I wasn’t there lolol (I panicked on the express bus, apologized first, and checked the reservation text again lololol) When I got there and told the consultant, she said I should have come in advance But whether I go late, on time, or early, the wait is long, isn’t it? It’s basically two hours lololololololol Why did I suddenly feel like I was the difficult patient when I arrived on time…. Even on the first revision surgery day, they didn’t say anything when I came at the reserved time….? ->Another thing, when they do the design, if you keep blinking or tear up, the atmosphere gets cold, and you have to learn again from the staff how to do the design and then meet the director. The time to enter the operating room gets extended another 30 minutes… (After the design is finished, you can go straight to the operating room and get ready, but because I failed, I had to practice and wait again… It felt like I went for an interview) I seriously practiced so hard with artificial tears so I wouldn’t get scolded. Because if I failed again, I would have to practice endlessly and wait again until the director finished other work…. Instead of helping me relax, they made me more nervous
While I was waiting after receiving design training again, a staff member next to me said, “What a shame. If you had done the design well earlier, you would be going straight into the operating room now!” And I was like, why does that sound so obvious and natural… This is a fake world… the world is deceiving me…… I spent over 5 million won here… please don’t feel sorry for me over something like this….sis.. that’s the director being weird… Try asking the director to open his eyes wide, hold for 20 seconds, then slowly close them…
=>They said they couldn’t improve the pressed middle and bent front line by making it bigger, and could only go in the direction of lowering the front line more, so I said okay and got it done. But what I’ve gained now is only eyes that look stuffy because the upper eyelids became thick, and an inline fold that is still distorted and gets completely swallowed by the line I’m searching hard while just waiting for the time when I can have revision surgery
How does the line look now? It’s been 3 months…can I make my double eyelids bigger again..? I’m terrified I’ll be recommended a forehead lift because of those thick upper eyelids
