I was born with monolids... but after using double-eyelid tape, one side developed a 100% hidden double eyelid, and the other side would come and go..
Since my eyes are somewhat small and clam-shaped anyway, after realizing that I couldn’t make my eye openings bigger with a double-eyelid line.... I lost interest in double eyelids....
I was annoyed that the inner corners of my eyes pointed sharply downward, so I decided to fix that first..
My eyes are petite, so I thought at least the shape should be nice....
I went to Dr. Shin Jae-hoon at Sisun Plastic Surgery because he seemed almost obsessive in a specialist way about canthoplasty and line correction.
The reason I went was...... because there were many before-and-after video reviews showing only the eyes.
They really show results, so there was no place quite like it.
I wanted to do it there even if they happened to be unfriendly..
The staff had good basic manners, and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable.
The director ~ spoke calmly in a quiet voice, listened to what I wanted, and said he understood!
Since it was correction of the inner corners, there wasn’t much need for a long explanation. I wanted them to be as unsharp and round as possible, and I wanted the direction they pointed to be closer to horizontal, not downward.
The director said he would do it that way, and that excessively exposing the lacrimal caruncle would not be good, but since I had a certain amount of space between my eyes, he would do his best.
I lay down on the operating table the same day! The surgery took about 30 minutes.
Before lying down on the operating table, I was sitting on the bed, and as soon as the director came in,
“Director! Please make them as round as possible!!” I said that and lay down.
He smiled with such a genuinely warm expression... It may have looked warm because he is handsome too haha, but I could instinctively feel that the director did not find the patient annoying...
I never knew a doctor’s smile before surgery could be such a big source of strength... I received the surgery comfortably and came out well.
For about two weeks, because of the swelling, I thought I had become too much like Shin Dong-yup, but after a month, the opening looked very normal and slightly widened, and the shape was corrected too.
On top of that, the double eyelid on the side that used to come undone easily also settled well, and what was surprising is that after medial and upper canthoplasty... my previously asymmetrical eyes became much more symmetrical, so they look stable in photos.
But since you do have to pay a certain cost for shape correction, I think this is the kind of surgery that sensitive and detail-oriented people would want...
