When I went for the consultation, I didn’t know much, so somehow I decided to have surgery because of the doctor’s confidence. Honestly, I was complacent, thinking it would be easy since it was just lowering the line a little. When they marked the line, the fixation was so strong that it did hold, but I thought maybe it was because it wouldn’t hold otherwise. But seriously, he lowered it by half. The bad thing about lowering the line a lot is that a step-off forms and the line gets swallowed, yep.
When I said I would have surgery, they said it was possible almost the next day. I thought they were busy, but it seems that’s only online.
At the time of surgery, I changed into a patient gown and saw the doctor. The doctor explained things and said not to worry because he would make the symmetry good. Since it was a revision surgery, I was worried and tried to talk, but he didn’t really listen. It seems he’s only kind during the consultation. He roughly drew the line, and I felt a bit rushed to sign the surgical consent form. He said it was a difficult eye but that he would try (saying this before surgery,,?)(if it’s a revision surgery, I think the history is important, and consultation is important to accurately understand the patient’s needs). He came in after anesthesia started and did the surgery. He laid me down and sat me up about once or twice. Then it was over. I think the surgery took about an hour and a half.
After removing the stitches and looking at the line, it was asymmetrical,, I feel like he isn’t good with uneven eyes. I think he did well at lowering the line. But he lowered it almost by half, so it’s practically an inner double eyelid, and because the front part is straight, the inner corner of my eye is covered. They said it was because of swelling, but I got the feeling they would put it off, saying we need to watch the progress. It seems like you can’t talk with the doctor for more than 10 minutes.
After a month, I went to check the progress and said it was asymmetrical, but the doctor said the surgery went well and that the line would keep coming down, then left. (He seems to leave quickly every time because he’s busy.) The consultant felt like she was soothing me by saying it was because of swelling,,? My eyes were still severely uneven, and the tail line was too low, so it felt very stuffy. Like other reviews, there was scar tissue at the inner corner and tail of the eye, and because the line was straight, my eyes looked angular and less open.
