I should’ve just gotten buried sutures only. They said if I didn’t do epicanthoplasty it would come undone again, and they said they’d open it only very slightly, so I trusted them and did it. But my eyes look so f***ing close together, my aegyo-sal disappeared, hollowness formed under my eyes so I look older, and the whole harmony is ruined. If it were only dissatisfaction with the shape, I think I’d at least feel less depressed, but I also have functional side effects. I have lagophthalmos symptoms, and every time I blink I can feel my orbicularis oculi contracting. It wasn’t like this beforeㅠㅠ My mentality completely collapsed when I saw wrinkles forming at the outer corners of my eyes, and now I’m seeing horizontal wrinkles starting near the space between my eyes like old people get, so I’m genuinely so depressed I can’t function in daily life... Will this really get better with time once all the swelling goes down and it settles? I thought it was ruined from the very beginning, and I think that gut feeling was right. I honestly just want to die. Even if I get restoration, it’s not like it can be returned to the original state, and what if it gets worse over the remaining 4 months? Sigh...
예뻐지zr I’m almost at 6 months now.. I can have surgery again... Everyone, don’t look in the mirror too much either... Time does pass.... ㅠㅠ
앞트임망함ㅠㅠ [@Prettyzr] Ha... I’m honestly so jealous. I want to reach 6 months quickly tooㅠㅠ Are you going to do restoration too? Did you also have pulling symptoms around the eyes after medial epicanthoplasty?
예뻐지zr [@MedialEpicanthoplastyRuinedㅠㅠ] I don’t have pulling symptoms, and I think my doctor sutured it wrong. The skin is pinched exactly where the needle went in, so it’s sunken in, and the middle is bulging out like a dog ear. The incision line is also indented as it is, so I don’t think there’s any answer except excision.
앞트임망함ㅠㅠ [@Prettyzr] I heard you shouldn’t do excision carelessly... What does the clinic say? Did they say they’ll provide aftercare/revision?
예뻐지zr [@MedialEpicanthoplastyRuinedㅠㅠ] They told me 2 months ago to wait, saying that once I reach 6 months, I can do excision or laser..ㅠ
앞트임망함ㅠㅠ [@Prettyzr] ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ha, seriously, that damn doctor should’ve sutured it properly from the start. He’s making someone suffer like thisㅡㅡ I hope it gets resolved well for you. I heard skin-regeneration acupuncture works for depressed scars!
김하월 I’m also waiting for time to pass.. I should look into restoration..ㅜ
앞트임망함ㅠㅠ [@Kim Hawol] Are you trying to get restoration because of excessive lacrimal caruncle exposure? Do you by any chance feel like the muscles around your eyes are pulling after medial epicanthoplasty? Or lagophthalmos symptoms?
김하월 [@MedialEpicanthoplastyRuinedㅠㅠ] There’s the lacrimal caruncle issue too, and especially because it became like strabismus.. The lagophthalmos started after double-eyelid surgery, but it isn’t severe, so I’m just living with it.. I don’t think I have pulling in the muscles around my eyes.
앞트임망함ㅠㅠ [@Kim Hawol] Wow, I also have slight exotropia symptoms! Still, I’m so jealous that you don’t have pulling symptomsㅠㅠ
힘내 Once all the swelling goes down, it’ll look pretty. So hang in there
rkdco After I got epicanthoplasty too, all my under-eye aegyo-sal disappeared.. After epicanthoplasty, my impression also looked way harsher, and my eyes looked slit sideways, so I realized that eyes with rounded inner corners were actually really nice. Most of all, I regret that the aegyo-sal I originally had now looks gone, and I want to kill the doctor who recommended epicanthoplasty.. I want to go back to the past and stop myself from getting epicanthoplasty, and every time I look in the mirror, I only see the inner corners of my eyes
