Before I start, I’m planning to get a re-restoration. Everything opened back up, so my eyes returned to how they were before the restoration. First, I’ll go back in time to before the restoration. At that time, the condition of my eyes was that I had no scars and simply wanted to cover the lacrimal caruncle. I’m sensitive about scars, so I searched online for a clinic that would restore it with as little scarring as possible. Back then, I found a clinic where several YouTubers had gotten restoration, and the YouTube review photos also had no scars and seemed like they were good at subtle restoration. While looking up that clinic, I did find quite a few posts saying the shape was strange or that it had opened back up, but I thought mine would turn out well, and since I was only covering a little, it probably wouldn’t open much. So I didn’t go around consulting at other clinics, and honestly didn’t research properly either; I only got a consultation at that clinic. When I went, the consultant said, “We use minimal incision, so there are absolutely no scars.” How could she be so sure of that? Surgery clearly involves an incision, so how does it make sense that there would be no scar? But because I was set on that clinic, I only heard the good things and only saw the good reviews. So I impulsively paid a same-day deposit and had the surgery. The result was that after the stitches were removed, only scars were left and everything opened back up. After the surgery failed, I finally saw it. I realized that the V-Y restoration method I had received causes severe floating of the Mongolian fold and side gaping, and makes the shape look awkward. I also realized that there are tons of people who had restoration at this clinic and either already got, or are planning to get, re-restoration. There’s something I learned after this surgery failed: you should never fixate on one clinic, think “I’ll turn out fine,” skip online research and in-person consultations at other clinics, and suddenly get surgery. Study the surgery you’re going to receive thoroughly before getting it. There is no such thing as surgery that leaves no scars. This may sound obvious to everyone. I was ignorant. And after it failed, I studied restoration and it seems like the V-Y restoration method just feels like cutting out flesh and patching it on. The people with especially severe floating Mongolian folds or side gaping had all been restored with V-Y. The shape is unnatural and the reopening is severe too. The doctor at the clinic I went to keeps talking about internal restoration on YouTube, and I’m honestly curious what on earth he thinks internal restoration is. There are countless people, including me, whose inner area wasn’t restored at all, so it was truly absurd to hear him say in videos that he performs internal restoration meticulously. Lastly, don’t go where YouTubers had surgery. I think they became arrogant after getting famous through YouTubers and do surgeries carelessly. They don’t even try to listen to patient complaints.. Anyway, I’m writing this because my medial epicanthoplasty restoration failed and I can’t sleep^^
