I had epicanthoplasty once 8 years ago, and recently when I had incisional double-eyelid surgery, they recommended epicanthoplasty too, so I ended up getting it. They said it looked like the previous epicanthoplasty had only been partly done... But when they opened the epicanthoplasty area, a white scar that normally wasn’t visible showed up. It’s a scar from 8 years ago, and when I looked at photos from before the revision surgery, it was a scar I already had. It was half-covered by the Mongolian fold, so I didn’t know about it. So I went to a nearby dermatology clinic and asked, and they said this is definitely an old scar, and that it became exposed after doing epicanthoplasty and double-eyelid surgery this time, and that because some muscle was touched, the white scar became even whiter. They gave me a scar injection... They told me to get it every week. The scar looks even whiter in real life. I keep wondering why I got epicanthoplasty. I should have looked into it more, and I regret it so much. I also resent the doctor for not telling me about this kind of side effect. They say white scars don’t heal well... Has anyone here had one improve? Around that white scar, it looks like my aegyo-sal is cut off. If only the white scar improves, I think it would be less noticeable. On top of that, my double-eyelid lines are uneven in height too, so I’m extremely stressed. Everyone, if it were a clinic that made your double-eyelid lines uneven and left an epicanthoplasty scar, would you not go back even if they said they’d do an after-service correction? Or would you go..?
희지마지 Go to another clinic
고노도로노 I think I’d go somewhere else for revision surgery. I developed a white scar two weeks after surgery, but it disappeared after I got laser treatment at a dermatology clinic.
라푼제에엘 No... If it were me, I’d go to a clinic where people I know had surgery, not the original clinic.
이제그만쫌 [@희지마지] Seriously... I think I should
이제그만쫌 [@고노도로노] Thank you for the advice!
이제그만쫌 [@라푼제에엘] I really don’t want to go back either, so I’m looking into several places
윌키밀키 I think I’d go somewhere else But how are the scar injections? I heard you have to get those several times too, and some people say they barely saw any effect Did you not look into restoration?
이제그만쫌 [@윌키밀키] I’m getting scar injections at a nearby dermatology clinic. But I don’t know if this is just me trying to convince myself or what; sometimes it looks effective, and sometimes it doesn’t. I thought about restoration too... but for now, it’s certain that I have to stay like this for 6 months to 1 year, so I’m trying to stop thinking about it... I’ll look at it again when that time comes..
윌키밀키 [@이제그만쫌] Okay okay, let’s think about it when the time comes!!
소백 It’s been 7 years for me, and I’m still stressed about the white scar.. It’s even depressed at the white scar, so the skin around my eyes looks bumpy and lacks elasticity What kind of laser should I get..
