<My first double eyelid surgery gave me sausage eyes ><Revision surgery success><The list I prepared of the eye shape I wanted when going to consultations at revision surgery clinics>Ever since I was young, people teased me by saying my eyes looked like dead fish eyes, so I had a big longing for large, bright eyes. I kept that wish only in my heart, and it wasn’t until my early 40s that I decided to get double eyelid surgery. I simply thought that if the double eyelid height was high, my eyes would look big, so for my first double eyelid surgery, I got an outline crease that was almost 1.2 cm high. Far from getting big eyes, because of the thick crease, I could barely open my eyes properly, and they turned into sausage eyes. I kept torturing myself with hope, telling myself, “It’s because of swelling, it’s because of swelling,” but when I saw that the double eyelid height stayed the same even after time passed, I went through a lot emotionally, saved up money, and decided to have revision surgery. And I realized that for the eye shape itself to become larger, I also needed canthoplasty, and since I have rather thick upper eyelid tissue, it was important to make the double eyelid crease thin so that I could open my eyes clearly. For the shape, I wanted the crescent-moon eyes that everyone likes!! So first, I thought about what kind of eye shape I truly wanted, made a table comparing my current eye shape and the eye shape I hoped for, and went to consultations at about 9 revision surgery clinics to ask whether it was possible or not. After consulting at 8 clinics, with just the final clinic left, I felt devastated. That was because all 8 clinics told me it was impossible to change a 1.2 cm outline crease into a 3-4 mm inline crease. They said it would have to be almost 7-8 mm, and they talked as if wanting crescent-moon eyes was asking for too much. They said canthoplasty was not what mattered right now, and asked if I knew how difficult it was just to lower the double eyelid line. They talked like that. All 8 clinics were one-doctor clinics famous for eye revision surgery. I was really disappointed. I think they said that because I’m in my 40s. Middle-aged patients usually get thicker double eyelids, so I think they said something similar to me too. But I’m a case where thick double eyelids are not right for me.. While I was feeling discouraged, I went to the final, 9th clinic. First, I asked whether the eye shape I wanted was possible, and the doctor said everything was possible. ' Huh? What? It’s really possible? Everywhere else said it couldn’t be done? ' Then the doctor told me that because my eyelids are thick, the double eyelid crease needed to be thin. Regardless of my age. The doctor also showed me photos of eyes from people who had surgery in cases similar to mine and said they could operate on me well like that. At that moment, I felt relieved, like, 'I found it....' and thought I should have the surgery at this clinic. Another thing I liked was that this clinic uses local anesthesia, so during surgery I would have to open and close my eyes hundreds of times. At other places, with sleep anesthesia, you fall asleep and wake up with the surgery already over, but here, during surgery, I would close and open my eyes while the doctor kept checking the eye shape as they operated, so I felt the eye shape I wanted would come out well. Of course, that process was a little scary, but since I was spending money to do this anyway, it would be good if the eye shape I wanted came out. So my eye revision surgery was successful, and the doctor performed the surgery well, just as I had hoped. Because I’m grateful to the doctor, I ended up writing this review. What’s important is!!! Know exactly what eye shape you want and find a clinic that can give you that!!! Then you can succeed too!!! I hope it goes well for you!!!
