Surgery review I’m writing so I can remember
After putting up with crazy sausage eyes for 2 years, my self-esteem had fallen as low as it could go, and I hated seeing myself avoiding photos, so I finally decided on revision surgery
At first, I got it done locally through introductions from my mom’s acquaintances without really knowing anything
They said it was a mix of incisional oblique canthoplasty, upper canthoplasty, and epicanthoplasty, but it just seemed like wordplay
The swelling was also really severe, and I ended up becoming sausage-man
Still, I held on by brainwashing myself, saying, “It’s better than not having done it,” but one day I looked in the mirror and just started crying
Right then, I used this Lunar New Year holiday as an opportunity and started looking into revision surgery…
