It’s been one month since my eye surgery, and now that the swelling has gone down to some extent, I’m leaving a review. I had medial epicanthoplasty + ptosis correction, and what I cared about most even before surgery was whether the hospital specialized in men’s eyes/noses, and how honest the consultation was. With men’s eyes, even a little excess shows right away, so rather than a place that just makes everything flashy, I wanted somewhere that would realistically assess what suited my face.
They weren’t the type to only say nice things. After looking at the condition of my eyes, they told me only what was truly necessary, like, “This can be improved, but if you get greedier beyond this, it may look unnatural.” At first it could feel a bit firm, but that actually made me trust them more. I liked that kind of honest consultation the most.
Right after surgery, of course there was swelling and my eyes looked a bit awkward, so I did wonder, “Will this turn out okay?” Especially the medial epicanthoplasty area looked sharper than usual, so I was slightly worried at first, but as a few days passed and the swelling gradually went down, it became more and more natural. The ptosis correction also felt a bit tense at first, but over time it gradually relaxed, and my overall impression seemed to settle into a much softer look.
Until around one week, it still looked somewhat obvious that I’d had surgery, and the swelling had not completely gone down. Still, the line itself did not feel excessive, and it seemed to be heading in a direction that would look fine with time, so I wasn’t anxious.
From weeks 2 to 3, I definitely felt like my eyes were becoming more settled, and the more the swelling went down, the more I liked it. Looking at it now at the one-month mark, I think it came out quite close to the look I wanted. The medial epicanthoplasty feels like only the stuffy-looking part was cleaned up, without looking overly opened, and the ptosis correction made my previously sleepy-looking impression a bit clearer. But it didn’t make my impression look harsh or overly dramatic, so I’m satisfied. People around me also mostly reacted with things like “Your eyes look a bit clearer” and “Your impression looks cleaner,” rather than openly saying, “It looks like you had surgery.”
Personally, I think naturalness is really the most important thing in men’s eye surgery, and in that sense my satisfaction is on the higher side. I think it would be a good fit especially for people looking for a hospital specializing in men’s eyes/noses, and for those who want a director who gives accurate, blunt facts without talking around things, and an honest consultation without exaggeration. If you’re considering medial epicanthoplasty and ptosis correction like I was, I think getting a consultation once would help you set a direction!
