Before<This is a photo where the problems before epicanthoplasty are clearly visible.>before<This is a photo 1 month after epicanthoplasty! It is a photo with makeup, but even with a bare face, the inner corner shape and the distance between the eyes are the same as in the photo.! These days I am living satisfied haha>After 6 years of stress from excessive epicanthoplasty, I finally got it relieved this time I'm writing this review hoping it can be even a little helpful to people who had the same concerns as me.
My eyes have a history of 2 epicanthoplasty surgeries and 3 incisional double-eyelid surgeries. After my first double-eyelid surgery + epicanthoplasty, I really liked my eyes. As time passed, the double-eyelid fold got swallowed and became like an inner double eyelid, and my uneven eyes became worse too.
At the clinic I visited because I only wanted to make the size a little bigger from my first double-eyelid surgery, they said that as much as the double eyelid gets bigger, I would probably need more epicanthoplasty, so I had a second surgery at the same place: incisional double-eyelid surgery + epicanthoplasty.
But my eyes became sausage eyes.. and the epicanthoplasty lengths were uneven and excessive, so I ended up with eyes that did not suit my facial features. I started hearing a lot that my impression looked strong and sharp, unlike the gentle image I originally had, and every time I looked in the mirror, I felt unfamiliar to myself and strongly wanted to go back to before. Appearance isn't everything, but it is the first thing seen wherever you go and whoever you meet. Since I thought my eyes were a botched surgical result and had no confidence, I became passive.
Someday I will definitely improve this.! I made up my mind, and about 1 year after surgery to lower my double-eyelid line, I had epicanthoplasty restoration.
Since I had been stressed for a long time because of an unsuccessful cosmetic surgery, I desperately needed a clinic that could properly improve it and perform surgery naturally to suit my face! I gathered information from acquaintances, YouTube, apps, cafes, and everything else, and I carefully looked at what clinics said, but what I considered more important was the appearance, satisfaction, and reviews of people who had the surgery.
I searched steadily over time. I chose the clinic whose eye photos of people who had epicanthoplasty restoration most resembled the eyes I wanted and drew me in.
I had a micro-restoration, and I wanted improvement of excessive lacrimal caruncle exposure, improvement of hollowness under the aegyo-sal area, and improvement of my impression. I didn't want eyes that looked too closed and stuffy, so among epicanthoplasty restoration options, I chose micro-restoration. Now that about a month has passed.. I'm so satisfied with the result haha After surgery, I had almost no swelling or bruising..!! I'm also the type who doesn't bruise easily, but it made me feel good because I thought the surgery had been done cleanly and well. I was able to rest on the day of surgery and the day after, then go straight back to work-! Since swelling and bruising were minimal and only the inner corners of the eyes were covered with tape, it felt less burdensome to be active compared with other cosmetic surgeries. And everyone said after micro-restoration of the epicanthoplasty that my impression became gentler and that it looks much better having done it, so I felt my choice was right after all. I'm satisfied every time I look in the mirror.. When I'm tired, the scar at the inner corner of my eye becomes red, but if I cover it with makeup, it is completely unnoticeable! And compared with the stress I had from the excessive canthal opening I think this much is nothing, and these days I'm living happily. From now on, I'm planning to focus on care so it doesn't open up again haha
I'm living so satisfied that the time I spent stressed feels like a waste! I also blamed myself a lot for getting cosmetic surgery out of excessive greed So I'm writing this review with the hope that it can be even a little helpful to people who really need it! Thank you for reading this long post!
