Before<Before>Before<Before>After<After>After<After> I’m a man, and at the end of March this year, I had incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty at a small private clinic in a regional area.
When it was almost 3 months after the surgery, I said that the epicanthoplasty seemed a bit excessive, the scarring seemed severe, and the double eyelids seemed uneven. The doctor said my original intercanthal distance was about 4.3–4.4 cm, so they only opened it slightly and it became 4.0–4.1 cm, so it wasn’t excessive. He also said the scars and double eyelids would get better with time.
But I still said that I could see the lacrimal caruncle inside and I didn’t like it, so I asked him to restore it. He kept saying he couldn’t do restoration and that it wasn’t excessive at all. Then he said something like, among people who come to plastic surgery clinics, statistics show that there are people with mental issues. That made me angry too, so I got upset and asked if he was seeing me as a mentally ill person. I said if he didn’t refund me, I would report it to a broadcasting station and take legal action, and asked what he thought he was doing after ruining someone’s eyes like this.
At first the doctor was flustered and said a refund wasn’t possible, but then I don’t know whether he realized he had done something wrong, didn’t want the situation to get bigger, or also felt that the double-eyelid surgery had failed, but he said he would refund me. Then he said, “In all my years as a doctor, I’ve never met someone like this,” and I was dumbfounded.
I told my friends about this too, and they said, “Aren’t you the difficult customer? Asking for a refund over this isn’t right,” and one person said, “The doctor got taken advantage of.”
Am I being a nuisance? Could everyone here take a look and judge?
