The reason I’m writing this is because before I got monolid ptosis correction, there was so little information.
I’m just writing this for reference.
It was my first time getting any cosmetic surgery, and it felt really frustrating.
So I’m only going to share information about the surgery itself, and I’m not going to recommend a clinic. While browsing online, I saw people who had good results at this clinic, but I also saw people saying they were dissatisfied...
For monolid ptosis correction, there aren’t many reviews, and there also isn’t much information about the surgery itself.
There are two types of monolid ptosis correction: one that creates a slight double eyelid and one that does not create one at all.
I did the method with no double eyelid at all.
For the completely monolid method, the side effects are things like the eyes not closing well or scars being left, but thankfully my eyes close well, and aside from the bruising, I don’t notice any scars.
If the bruising doesn’t fade and turns into hyperpigmentation, would that become a scar...? I think I’ll have to watch it a bit longer to know.
The surgical method is tying the eye muscles and excising sagging skin.
First of all, the eyes do not become dramatically bigger or anything like that.
If it weren’t for the swelling and bruising, people around you might not even notice that you had surgery. (Well, unless it’s your girlfriend or someone who sees you every day...)
But it’s like, “Huh? Something changed? But I’m not sure what.” Just about that level...
Monolids are trendy these days, but getting monolid ptosis correction absolutely does not mean you’ll become like Jung Hae-in or Jang Dong-yoon;
It’s simply that the degree to which you could open your eyes before surgery only by using force becomes possible without using force. That’s exactly it.
About 80% of the iris? If I use force, it can show up to 100%, so it definitely looks clearer than before surgery.
I also had a slight medial canthoplasty to get rid of the epicanthal folds.
The epicanthal folds didn’t disappear completely and some remained, but from the beginning, the doctor also said they couldn’t be completely removed.
I think it came out relatively natural.
Because the inner corners of the eyes lift a bit, I think there is also an indirect effect where the eyes overall look less sharp.
My upturned outer eye corners were a complex, so I wanted lateral canthoplasty too,
but the doctor said that if I got lateral canthoplasty, one eye might not adhere closely between the eyeball and the skin, so I just didn’t do it.
I’m older now too (in my 30s), and overall I wanted to slightly fix only my complex in a way that wouldn’t be obvious while living my social life, so I’m satisfied.
However, my eyes were originally a little asymmetrical, and even after correction they don’t seem perfectly symmetrical, so that is a bit disappointing.
Of course, as the swelling goes down, that difference is gradually narrowing.
I was so nervous during surgery that I bruised a lot. Even now, 2 weeks later, a little still remains.
For swelling, the major swelling goes down in about 4 days if you do cold compresses well.
To look completely natural, I think it will take more than 3 weeks.
Do you really want to change your life with eye surgery and become super handsome?
People like that should use college vacation time to get ptosis correction that creates a slight inner double eyelid along with canthoplasty.
Monolid ptosis correction seems like a good surgery for people who just want to change a little and prefer a natural look.
Lastly, what I want to say is that if you go to a well-known place and don’t get greedy, just following what the doctors commonly recommend, I think you’ll get at least average results. Don’t do surgeries they tell you not to do.
I also wanted lateral canthoplasty, but the doctor just told me not to, so I didn’t.
Sometimes I see people going to every other clinic until they meet a doctor who says what they want to hear... I don’t know about success, but if you want to avoid failure, I think that method is a bit risky.
I also have things I feel are lacking, but... I’ll just take good care of what I have and, since I’m a man, manage my eyebrows and skin.
Hoping no additional side effects(?) occur...
That’s all. Thank you.
