[link to previous post] The explanation of the symptoms is in my previous post, so please refer to it,, The diagnosis is symblepharon. They say that after inflammation developed following trauma, new tissue also formed, causing adhesion between the eyeball and eyelid. After simple adhesiolysis surgery, the recurrence rate is close to 50%, and after recurrence the symptoms tend to worsen. It can even cause diplopia when looking to the side. [link to previous post] Continuing from the previous post, a report on the current situation..
First of all... things feel so bleak right now.
Even at the original clinic, they again only gave the answer that because the adhered tissue is so tangled and stuck together, even if it is removed, it will recur, so surgery is difficult, and somehow more than 9 months have already passed since then.
Because the surgeon who caused the complication is no longer at the clinic, I was told I need a medical opinion letter from the representative director instead, so today I came to receive the opinion letter, and I plan to visit again later.
And then today, right after that, I’m going to Seoul National University Hospital for an appointment. It is extremely hard.. But I won’t give up. Because I need to use my eyes healthily for a long time,,
If you care about your eye health, absolutely do not get canthoplasty. If you want to use your eyes healthily for a long time, absolutely do not get canthoplasty...
At Asan University Ophthalmology, they said a complete cure would be difficult, and that any doctor who says they will do it is probably rushing in for the money, so not to trust them. At Seoul National University Plastic Surgery, they said that even if they operated on this condition themselves, they were concerned it would recur, so surgery would be difficult. So afterward, on the recommendation of that Seoul National University plastic surgeon, I went to a private plastic surgery clinic and had adhesiolysis of the adhered conjunctiva followed by a rotation procedure by a canthoplasty specialist, but it recurred again and there was no progress in the limitation of ocular movement. I want to upload it as a new post, but I’m too tired. Next time, I’ll organize it with photos and upload it. Don’t get lateral canthoplasty from just anyone. I mean it.
Even after revision surgery, the adhesion recurred again, and recently an ophthalmology department at a university hospital scheduled a surgery date, but because I don’t have the money for the university hospital surgery right now and because a complete cure would be difficult, the doctor was not confident, so the graft surgery is currently on hold. Even though the recommended clinic admitted that it recurred and made one side worse, they are refusing even a refund, and their attitude is basically that they won’t file insurance either, so I should deal with it myself.
I regret getting cosmetic surgery. I should have just made money instead. I want to go back to before the surgery.
