It’s finally been 1 month since my medial epicanthoplasty! Actually, my concerns about my eye shape weren’t that major. I could say my thick eyelids were a somewhat mild complex, and if I were to be a little greedy, I like a straighter eye shape? So my mindset was about, “It would be nice if it improves, but if not, it can’t be helped~” The real problem was that my eyelashes kept going into my eyes and getting stuck near the tear duct... So at first I was thinking, “Should I get double eyelid surgery?” I heard double eyelid surgery can fix eyelashes curling inward! I looked up a lot of hospital information and reviews while browsing several portal sites and cosmetic surgery information sites, and after that I also visited hospital websites. Finally, I had in-person consultations at the hospitals I decided to visit, and my final choice was 345 Plastic Surgery! I liked that the hospital itself had a somewhat comfortable atmosphere, and they honestly told me which parts might not turn out well if operated on, and the fact that they didn’t recommend things unnecessarily gave me trust, which had a big influence on my hospital choice. When I got the consultation, they said my eyelid skin itself was thick? But in that case, if I did double eyelid surgery, it could look stronger than expected; something like fat removal wouldn’t have a big effect; and with a lift, there was no guarantee I’d like how my eye shape changed afterward. So I gave up on improving the thick eyelid part, and for double eyelid surgery I was in a “What should I do?” state. Then the doctor recommended medial epicanthoplasty, saying that although it couldn’t perfectly create the eye shape I wanted, it could make my closed-off-looking eyes look more open. After thinking about it and looking it up personally, I found that with medial epicanthoplasty, curled-in eyelashes tend to come out more easily. So I thought, “Ah, this seems like a good surgery both for improving my situation and satisfying my cosmetic wishes!” and decided to get medial epicanthoplasty. During the surgery and right after it, I don’t think there was any particular pain from the medial epicanthoplasty. During the surgery, it just felt like, “They’re touching my eyes...” and after surgery, maybe because of the swelling and stitches, my eyelids felt a little stiff? heavy? like that, but there was no pain. Still, after a week passed and the stitches were removed, it became mu~ch easier to manage. The scar is still there a bit, but when I go outside I make sure to apply sunscreen carefully, and after washing my face I apply regenerative cream! What I feel after surgery is: First, the most uncomfortable issue, the eyelashes curling in <- this really comes out well! It can’t stop the eyelashes from curling inward itself, but because the front part of the eye is definitely opened up, eyelashes that had already gone in used to just circle around inside my eye, but now if I put in a few drops of artificial tears, they come right out. Also, when I looked to the side, my eyeball was considerably covered by the Mongolian fold, so I looked a bit closed-off, but I can see that has improved. Lastly, I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but it feels like the bridge of my nose between the eyes looks slightly higher? Of course, the nasal bridge wouldn’t actually have become higher, but it seems to look that way, as if contour shading had been applied! People around me also saw my face after surgery and said similar things about my nasal bridge. I’m touching the area near the surgical site as carefully as possible. For now, the biggest concern, my eyelashes attacking my eyeballs, has improved, so I’m still really happy!
