I had double eyelid surgery about 10 days ago. My skin is thin and my eyes protrude slightly. I really wanted a very thin inner double eyelid, so I wanted the buried-suture method, but the doctor firmly recommended incision + ptosis correction. I emphasized several times that I didn’t want my eyes to look too intense, and then had the surgery. Maybe because the double eyelid line was made thin, the swelling went down insanely fast, and if I don’t say anything, people wouldn’t even know I had surgery right now. (The doctor said this himself.) But the problem is that the inner line of one eye is bent completely like a ㄷ shape? or ㄱ shape? so the pupil looks lifted and a bit of the white of the eye is showing. (Please refer to the photo) When I open my eyes wider, the bent area shows the white of the eye even more severely, and from there to the back, the upper white of the eye shows, like upper scleral show. That eye feels more stinging around the bent area, and the mucous membrane is slightly everted, so the eyelashes point a little more upward. I thought it was overcorrection, so I went in for a checkup today, but the doctor said with a straight face that there is absolutely no need for revision surgery, and basically acted like I was being excessive for worrying about eyes that have only been healing for 10 days and haven’t even settled yet. He said the eye stinging and the bent inner line will all even out with time, and that the visible white of the eye will also all even out later, so I should wait until everything settles. What I’m curious about is: 1. As the doctor said, will the bent line on the inner side of the eye and the visible white of the eye really become smoother with time, and will the white stop showing? 2. I think the reason my eye is so stinging right now is because of mucosal eversion, but will the mucous membrane also go back down over time? That’s what I want to know. I’m torn between whether, as the doctor says, I’m just mentally spiraling over it, or whether I should still go to another revision surgery clinic within 2 weeks for a consultation instead of only listening to the doctor at the hospital where I had surgery. Since the doctor firmly said there’s no problem, I wonder, “Can it normally be like this?” but then when I look at my eye, I also think, “Even if time passes, it doesn’t seem like it will become normal?”.. I’m so stressed because of this. Has anyone experienced something like this? I’d be so grateful if you could let me know.
