Left eye. At first it was completely covered in a D shape, and at the same time the adhesion that had formed inside was also only torn on the surface during the revision surgery, so it was ultimately left untreated and then re-adhered, pulling every time I moved my eyes and causing repeated redness and swelling. It is gripping so tightly that it is impossible to look left and right within the normal range.><Right><Left>One-line summary I had surgery and revision surgery from a doctor who was not the chief director (the doctor left this clinic one month after my surgery), and because of functional side effects I have been suffering continuously for a total of 9 months, including a 6-month recovery period and 3 more months spent preparing for certification exams and looking for a treatment hospital.
Because of side effects from the back canthoplasty, the eyelid and eyeball became stuck together, so aside from the cosmetic problem a functional problem developed, but they only refunded me and acted like they knew nothing. The head coordinator was unreachable at the time. ●The chief director could not clearly explain whether a complete cure was possible with his own surgical method or not. He also avoided giving a concrete explanation of the treatment surgery method.● In the middle of this, the coordinators sitting next to me in the consultation room during the revision consultation snorted and frowned at me. Chief Director Kim Dong-geol complained to me in return, asking why I was even asking about the surgical method.
Patient reassurance? I did not even expect that. I was only asking for a concrete explanation of the surgical method, but even that seemed difficult, and after repeated requests I finally got a vague answer. If I have surgery this time, it will already be the third time, and when I asked whether there would be no more re-adhesion afterward, they could not be certain.
The explanation below is long, so only people who want details should read it.
I had surgery here, so excluding the first operation done for cosmetic purposes, this will become my second revision surgery done for treatment of side effects. At the time of the revision surgery, the doctor in charge said that the inability to move the eye because it was being pulled might improve if the back side were opened more. I agreed after hearing that, and although there was, of course, a functional problem, even the appearance had ended up with a D-shaped corner, the doctor only tore out this scar tissue without removing it from the inside and left it alone. What I originally wanted the shape to be had disappeared completely.
After that revision surgery, the adhesion from the back canthoplasty kept getting worse and re-adhered, with the eyelid sticking to the eyeball and causing functional problems, and I am suffering in pain. The chief director kept acting indifferent, saying that he was not the one who performed the surgery, and kept avoiding answering even the principle and method of the surgery that could be done for treatment, so in the end I lost even my trust in that chief director. Meanwhile, the doctor who had operated on me at the time left the clinic immediately after my revision surgery for reasons unknown.
On the day of the revision surgery, even though it was not a minor procedure, they awkwardly proceeded with only sedative anesthesia medication and no propofol, so the pain from the anesthesia needle being inserted into the eyeball and the pain of cutting and burning throughout the surgery were so vividly remembered that it left trauma.
Now I am scared just seeing a syringe needle.
They even wrote the revision surgery chart with lies mixed in, arbitrarily by the coordinator and the doctor. Because the scar removal had not actually been done, I took photos of the wound area right after the surgery in case I had to prove that they falsely recorded it as removed, and asked for a printed copy of the chart... I also prepared several voice recordings during that time... Later, when I listened to the recordings alone, there was a serious mismatch between their words and actions.
That doctor should have made the inside a complete mess. What you can see in that photo is not all of it.... It is all stuck together inside as well.
Shouldn’t they either refund me and separately pay for treatment, or treat it properly before sending me out? I suffered for 9 months because of this hospital. I guess I will suffer even more in the future.
I was planning to go back in exactly 9 months, the recovery period cosmetic clinics love, to complain about the side effects. But instead, I decided to get treatment at a university hospital, and just periodically post follow-up updates, with the goal of protecting everyone here’s eyes.
Even now, 9 months later, the eye that has re-adhered still gets pulled, swells, and has severe tearing and eye discharge. To look at the person next to me, I have to twist not only my head but even my waist to be able to stare straight ahead. At my first ophthalmology checkup, the doctor also recommended getting treatment at a university hospital.
I am looking for a recommendation for a revision-surgery hospital.... If you know a plastic surgery clinic that has performed countless back canthoplasty revision surgeries, or a university hospital doctor, please recommend one...
