He has been at St. Mary's Hospital for 17 years, so of course the consultation was very professional. He answered every question kindly, explained the structure of my eye condition well, and I had been thinking about upper eye corner opening and dual canthoplasty, but he said both were just wordplay. He said upper canthoplasty is just a variation of epicanthoplasty, and dual canthoplasty is just opening the outer corner further downward from outer corner surgery. I learned a lot of new things, and I felt like they would prevent complications from outer corner surgery here. The doctor said they do not touch the conjunctiva or ligaments and only remove skin, so there are no functional side effects and they make it so it won’t reattach easily. He was also honest and said there was no need for upper canthoplasty. He told me frankly that because my eye-opening strength is weak, it could loosen again, and he felt honest and kind. But the consultation manager was so incredibly cool and honest that, since I’m the type to be a bit sensitive and worry a lot, she bluntly told me that being more worried than the surgery complications itself is the problem, and I flinched lolllll. She said that no plastic surgery can be completely free of side effects and that doctors make mistakes too, which really lowered my expectations for surgery, but I liked how honest it was. They also said the surgery would be done only under local anesthesia. However, the doctor said they do not do conjunctival fixation for outer corner surgery, but the hospital website says they do, so the manager said she would check and send me a text, but I haven’t heard back. I’ll be waiting for the text ^^
