But you really do need to be careful with epicanthoplasty too

I got double eyelid surgery in 9th grade and lived fine for 5 years, but then I felt like my double eyelid line was too thin, so I had revision double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty together. Plastic surgery clinics often sell double eyelid surgery + epicanthoplasty + ptosis correction as a set, and other people do it that way too, so I did it without thinking much. But my eyes before that had actually suited my face in a subtle way. Even if I was going to have revision surgery, I should have only redone the double eyelids.. My eyes suddenly looked too close together, and my face width and cheekbones started to look more prominent. In the end, I even had the 3-contour facial bone surgery. What’s funny about that is that I originally went in only planning to do my cheekbones, but the doctor said my jaw had to be reduced too for balance, so I did all three. Looking back now, I feel like if I just hadn’t done the epicanthoplasty, I probably wouldn’t have touched my bones. I’m looking at old photos now and I just miss it so much. Back then I thought my face looked unattractive, but looking at it now, why does it look so pretty.. I think the best choice for me would have been double eyelid surgery + jaw. I shouldn’t have done epicanthoplasty or cheekbone reduction.. After doing my cheekbones too, my face subtly looks longer.. I did have some cheekbones originally, but they were also subtly holding my face together. Sigh …I want to get epicanthoplasty reconstruction.
