Eye Re-Surgery

Obsessed with medial canthoplasty restoration.. waiting it out pays off

Researching online and in person Honestly, I thought epicanthoplasty was too simple. I just saw it as a surgery that makes the eyes bigger, but after actually getting it done, my eyes did get bigger, but that wasn’t all. My facial proportions looked strange, and because my eyes looked too close together, my whole impression changed drastically in a burdensome way. My youthful image disappeared too, and my face looked somehow sharp and awkward.. Every time I looked in the mirror, I really just kept thinking I didn’t look like myself On top of that, I developed dog ears and scar tissue, so I eventually decided on restoration, but the problem was that finding a clinic wasn’t easy. I had almost no extra tissue left, so I felt like going to just any clinic would be hopeless. What I learned while going to consultations was that restoration isn’t simply closing the area; scars, the lacrimal lake, under-eye fullness, and balance on both sides all have to be considered ㅇㅇ Surgery What I considered important was whether they clearly told me how far correction was possible. Rather than saying everything could be done, I actually trusted it more when they drew a line, like saying if there wasn’t enough extra tissue, going beyond this point would be too much. Words that only give false hope just come back as bigger stress later During the consultation, I actually chose after hearing explanations about scar risks, how the line would be designed, and follow-up care. I heard that factory-style clinics often have delayed follow-up appointments and people can’t get care on time, so personally, whether I could receive care tailored to my case mattered more Results After the restoration, my tense-looking impression softened, and the inner corner line became much smoother. If I only looked at the eye shape, I was satisfied. But after the surgery, what worried me was the scarring. I had already been stressed because of scars before, and even after the revision surgery, in the beginning it was very noticeable if I didn’t wear makeup At that time, I was also going crazy with anxiety, so I contacted the clinic almost every day and asked questions almost as if I were arguing, and thinking about it now, I do feel a bit sorry... Still, after receiving care consistently and holding out for over half a year, it gradually faded. Now it has almost completely disappeared, to the point that it isn’t noticeable in daily life Revision surgery method Medial canthoplasty restoration isn’t simply closing the line. Scars, extra skin, interruption of the under-eye fullness, and the lacrimal lake all have to be checked. Depending on the case, the V-Y method, scar injections, or laser treatment may be combined too. I’ve also seen cases where they just closed it blindly and the eyes ended up looking even smaller.. Clinic information + advice The place I finally chose clearly told me from the consultation stage that what was excessive couldn’t be done and that the possible range was only this far. Seeing a Photoshop simulation of the line before and after surgery was helpful too, and they also planned follow-up care (injections and laser) according to my situation Canthoplasty really isn’t a surgery you can take lightly. Don’t just look at the eyes; you have to take changes in impression and scar risks into account too. I never thought I would get canthoplasty and then need restoration.. I was lucky and had a successful case, but when I think about living with eyes after epicanthoplasty forever, it honestly scares me. I really don’t recommend getting epicanthoplasty just because it’s trendy
