The first canthoplasty surgery was fine, right? But after I got greedy and had a second surgery, at some point my lower eyelashes started poking my eyeballs strangely. At first, I thought my lashes were just growing thickly inward, so I went to the ophthalmologist and kept taking stye medicine on my own, but it turned out this was a representative side effect of overdone lower canthoplasty Because of this, my eyes were constantly tearing, and I kept getting styes whenever I could; my eyes were really bloodshot... I practically had to see an eye doctor regularly. Even the ophthalmologist said I could not keep living by pulling them out surgically or pulling them out at home, and that I needed to find a plastic surgery clinic to solve the root cause. So I went back to the hospital where I had the surgery and wondered if I should at least undo the lower canthoplasty... But after searching like crazy through cafes and this community, I learned that even if you reverse the lower canthoplasty, internal adhesions make it very likely that the eye will not return to the way it was originally?? lol At that point I was truly panicked and felt depressed, wondering if I would have to live with this uncomfortable, bloodshot eye forever... Then while searching through YouTube and reviews from this community, I found Ollo. It is a specialty eye plastic surgery clinic that specializes in lower canthoplasty revision and entropion surgery, and there were really a lot of review posts and the reputation was good. I felt I should not delay any longer, so I booked a consultation right away and went What I liked from the consultation itself was that the director looked at my eye condition and worried about how uncomfortable and painful it must have been all this time, asking how I had put up with it. I was honestly moved.. And when he looked at my left eye and asked whether I had felt any foreign-body sensation... honestly, if you go to a typical factory-style plastic surgery clinic, there is nowhere that looks this carefully at the internal structure of the eye. I really felt that a specialty eye clinic is different! The director explained that because the lower canthoplasty had been overdone, the area under the eye had adhered together, so if they only did entropion surgery, the problem would have a very high chance of recurring later. He said the lower canthoplasty revision would completely release the adhesion under the eye and the tissue would need to be reshaped again. What I was most worried about was whether revision surgery would make my eyes smaller. But the director gave me confidence, saying he would carefully adjust the details so the eye size and shape would not become smaller lol I also saw many review posts saying that after lower canthoplasty revision, the eye shape stayed the same while actually looking cleaner and more open, so I decided to trust him completely. Also, because of a cutie filler I got 10 years ago, there was a lump in my left eye that might have been inflammation, and since they could not know for sure unless they opened it, he said we should remove it during surgery too! At that point I was honestly a little scared... (Seriously, do not get fillers carelessly, everyone) The surgery was done under sedation anesthesia and took about 1 to 2 hours. Right before entering the operating room, I briefly went over the surgical process with the director again and then went in! When I opened my eyes after the surgery, the area under my eyes felt a little stiff and pulling, but it was not horribly painful or unbearable. In fact, maybe because the constant discomfort and poking were gone, my eyes felt instantly refreshed lol The director also told me that the mass? inside my left eye had been neatly removed, which put me at ease. I could not take much leave, so I only took time off on the day of surgery and when I went to get the stitches removed, and went to work normally the rest of the time! (That was possible because I do not meet many people at work anyway lol) Surprisingly, the bruising was not severe, and the swelling was not so bad that it looked like a robot, so I was relieved. The day I got the stitches out and came back after follow-up care, my eyes felt so light that it was amazing! After surgery, my eyelashes no longer poked my eyes, so the eye fatigue dropped dramatically. Before surgery, my lower lashes would curl inward and look clumped and uncomfortable, but after surgery the under-eye line became very neat and the lashes stretched straight downward, so my eyes actually look bigger and more refreshed haha My eyes used to water and get bloodshot all the time, and I could not even do my makeup properly because it would smear around my eyes, but now my eye health has improved and I can go around comfortably, so my quality of life is insane really... The last thing I really want to say is: do not casually get lower canthoplasty or cutie filler It may look pretty right in front of you, but as time passes, side effects will come somehow and you will suffer terribly... If you really, really want to do it, please do not get tempted by a factory-style clinic just because of discount events. Spend a little more and go to a specialty eye plastic surgery clinic that understands eye anatomy well!! Getting diagnosed and operated on by a proper specialist is the shortcut to saving money and avoiding suffering with your body! If I had known this 10 years ago, I definitely would not have gone to a factory-style clinic
