A really long time ago, I had double-eyelid revision surgery, epicanthoplasty, and canthoplasty for eye correction, and the two sides ended up asymmetrical. Everyone has some asymmetry, so I know it's unavoidable for double-eyelid lines or epicanthoplasty to come out differently on each side. Still, when I open my eyes, the line itself looks fine, and the epicanthoplasty also came out in a line that suits my eyes without being excessive. The problem is that the eye correction worked well on one side and lifted it properly, but the other side didn't lift as much. So when I open my eyes a little less or look slightly downward, it becomes completely uneven, and one pupil gets covered. I called to ask, and they told me to watch it for a few months because it might just be swelling, so I said okay. And I've been living like this for about 16 years now. I was too young back then and too busy at the time to even think about going back for aftercare, but now I think I should have gone back after six months or a year and asked for revision. But from what I remember, the reason I couldn't do that then was probably because I felt like they wouldn't really do anything. Anyway, the double-eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty themselves came out a bit glamorous but still natural and well. But now that I'm entering my 40s, the side where the eye correction dropped has become so uncomfortable. It affects how I look, and because the strength of opening my eyes is gradually becoming different on each side, my expressions feel very awkward, and sometimes I even look a little strange. There are also various functional issues and pain, so I think I’ll need revision eye correction surgery soon.
