I lived for years thinking my epicanthoplasty from 15 years ago had turned out well, but at some point I started being bothered by how deeply recessed the lacrimal lake on one eye looked... After spending several years like that, once it started bothering me, it kept bothering me and stressed me out, so in the 10th year after my epicanthoplasty, I ended up getting reconstruction. It was a very famous clinic and absolutely not cheap, but instead of blocking the lacrimal lake completely, I got reconstruction in a way that felt like improving the rounded inner front area. (The director emphasized that they were someone who pursued a natural look, and the consultation was like that too.) When I first got the canthoplasty, I wanted the front lacrimal lake to look like a natural pointed shape, not rounded... At first I wondered if the surgery had gone well, but as time passed, I gradually started looking like a frog, and every time I smiled, how should I put it, it felt like the muscle was pulling strangely? Like it looked even more scooped out than after my first canthoplasty? My eye shape became strange, so I was seriously so stressed that I opened it again just 8 months after the reconstruction.... Honestly, I am not completely satisfied with the secondary canthoplasty either, but it is much better than when I had the reconstruction, so I am planning to live without touching it anymore... Honestly, the inner corners were a bit rounded at first, but those eyes were the prettiest.. When I look at old photos, I seriously tear up... asking myself why I got reconstruction... sigh... These days, epicanthoplasty is done well so the front of the eye looks pointed without being obvious. I am really feeling firsthand, after losing 4 million won, that cosmetic surgery is not something you should do early on when a procedure is trending... Everyone, become prettier. I got depressed looking at my eyes while washing my face, so I wrote this.. ----------------- Also, for the last secondary canthoplasty, at first it seemed to have turned out well and pointed, but it changed over time.. It is not round like when I first opened it, but it is not completely pointed either, somewhere in between... Of course it is much better than when I had the reconstruction, but the first canthoplasty was the best.... And after the last secondary canthoplasty, I also developed a raised scar on my aegyo-sal area, so I spent even more money on scar treatments than the cost of the secondary canthoplasty..^^ Please be really careful with surgery.... and I hope you also pay a lot of attention to aftercare....
Reader 1 Oh no.. This sounds just like me.. I had reconstruction after my inner corner surgery, then went back for a consultation because I was thinking about opening it again, and the director also said from the start, why did I even have inner corner surgery, it would have been better not to do it. No matter how well the surgery goes, it can never go back to how it was before, which is so sad I guess greed is the problem.. If I get a secondary canthoplasty, won’t it be pretty like the first time I had it done? When I look at the before-and-after posts these days, I’m so jealous...
Reader 2 [@Nikonikon] Yes, I don't think it can be like the first time Depending on the surgical method used for the reconstruction, they usually also work on the inner tissue? and muscles, so re-widening it again turning out really beautifully is such a rare thing that it’s almost only useful as promotional material I really want to go back to before the reconstruction...
Reader 3 These days, it seems like the trend is to restore the inner canthus and then open it again with an upper canthoplasty
Reader 4 [@MimMimMimShuShuShu] I was looking into upper inner corner surgery too, but the doctor told me not to touch it any more.... so now I'm forcefully self-gaslighting myself that it's fine as it is
Reader 5 I’m also trying to live while worrying about it as little as possible.. Even if I’m a little unsatisfied, it’s better not to undo it, right?
Reader 6 [@노래하는개구리] As for reconstruction... I really regret it by 200%.. You really have to be careful
Reader 7 Ah... I’m going for a consultation for inner canthoplasty tomorrow, should I just not do it..
Reader 8 [@dieforyou] These days there seem to be a lot of people whose epicanthoplasty turns out well~ I don't think the first surgery is something to be too scared of, but since it's still surgery and depends on the person, make sure to research it well
Reader 9 I really think medial canthoplasty has to be done very carefully and conservatively. You went through a lot
Reader 10 [@Kangdaekong] Yeah, there are definitely eyes that turn out well, but I don't think they make up the vast majority.... And since surgery is ultimately just another person cutting you open, I think cases where the two sides end up uneven are pretty common too... Anyway, thanks

Reader 22 [@WooWooWwaJajang] Thank you I forgot to write it in the post, but after the last secondary canthoplasty I ended up with a raised scar, so I’m spending more money on scar treatment than on the secondary canthoplasty surgery.... You should also take good care of yourself if you get any procedure or surgery..

Reader 26 I also had a bad epicanthoplasty and was thinking about reconstruction.. you really went through so much, honestly..
Reader 27 [@서지느] Reconstruction has to be approached really carefully... Maybe I'm the one who messed up... but still, choose carefully...
Reader 28 [@AngryBird] Thank you so, so much for your sincere advice.. You really went through a lot
Reader 29 [@Seoji] If you go for reconstruction, I hope it turns out well
Reader 30 This is a private post.
Reader 31 I heard that revision surgery for epicanthoplasty is really difficult I heard somewhere back then that the surgery was expensive too.. You must have had a hard time
Reader 32 [@Guhyeong8385] Yes, it costs several times more than a regular canthoplasty But I just wasted my money, that’s all.... Going to get scar treatment again today
Reader 33 [@Angry Bird] I hope it goes well, it really will go well
Reader 34 I had a re-opening done and got a scar in the aegyo-sal area, but how do scar treatments work?? Is it scar injections and things like that? It's worrying.
Reader 35 [@Chwanji] Yeah, I got injections and also laser? they cauterized it with something like that. But it seems like you have to do it a lot, and to make it disappear as much as you want, it really seems to change only a little bit at a time...
Reader 36 This is a private post.
Reader 37 [@dial] Yeah....I’m definitely not satisfied with the re-widening, and I ended up suffering from an additional scar... Looking at old photos, I resent myself for fixing something so small In my case, it was only one side, the left eye, that had a slightly round, sunken spot, and that was what bothered me I ended up messing with even the right eye, which had been fine, and completely ruined it..
Reader 38 This is a private post.
Reader 39 This is a private post.
Reader 40 [@정리하고싶다] Mate, I’m not the one. When I was looking into reconstruction, I saw a lot of people saying it wasn’t good, so I had it done somewhere else...! As for the front reconstruction... I don’t think it was for me....... I failed...
Reader 41 After mine went wrong, I deleted all my old photos
Reader 42 [@초딩입맛] That is so sad....
Reader 43 I wanted to get an inner corner canthoplasty because my brow distance is wide, but now I’m worried
Reader 44 [@0445] It seems hard to do it without it looking obvious, like celebrities do...
Reader 45 You went through a lot.
Reader 46 [@특수문자b] Thanks I still have a long way to go with scar treatment
Reader 47 Oh wow, I’m waiting for the swelling to go down after having canthoplasty done right now.. I’m scared
Reader 48 [@Jjagakmiin] Take better care of aftercare too..
Reader 49 I also have scar tissue on the aegyo-sal area from when it was stitched together with thread, but what kind of laser was this done with? Was it the same for you? I don't really know if it's the same or not
Reader 50 [@Ddeongddang] I don't know what kind of laser it was, but after the procedure I can see the cauterized holes, and they don't form scabs or anything like that. I'm also getting injections there... I think the injections are having more effect than the laser.
Reader 51 This is a private post.
Reader 52 [@Catwalk777] The hospital for the reconstruction? It wasn’t ㅅㅅ either; that place was on the list too, but the reviews were bad, so I did it at the 'Secret' plastic surgery clinic!
Reader 53 [@] Ah, thanks for the reply. Before I did it, there were only good reviews about the surgery, but after I had it done, I kept seeing why the bad reviews were so easy to find. I really, really regret it.
Reader 54 Aww, you must have had a hard time. I’m reflecting on and hating my past self who thought eye surgery was a light procedure, nothing to worry about... So I guess I was being punished Let’s hang in there.
Reader 55 [@] Yeah.. Me too....I'm really self-reflecting right now....I want to go back to the eyes I had before surgery
Reader 56 I had reconstruction two months ago, and if one side feels good, the other side starts to bother me.. Well, I guess I need to stop now..
Reader 57 [@Moringi] Right, because of that I had reconstruction, and because of that I had it opened again, and even now I'm still not satisfied
Reader 58 [@AngryBird] I also opened it, closed it, opened it, and closed it again Ha, I should practice restraint while hoping it won't spread...
Reader 59 T_T Yeah, aftercare really seems super important
Reader 60 [@잔자라] Yeah There’s a lot to worry about, both with the hospital and with the skin around my eyes
Reader 61 I'm 2 weeks out from my epicanthoplasty too, and it seems to have turned out better than I expected, so I'm not thinking about redoing it yet. I guess being careful really is the right thing to do!!
Reader 62 [@김젼잉잉] Two weeks is still very early, so the shape can keep changing a lot. Take good care of it
Reader 63 This post is private.
Reader 64 [@] No, it’s the opposite. It was sharp, but it changed into a round shape, so that’s why I felt like it had failed I wanted it sharp After the stitches were removed, it seemed okay for about a week, so at least it started changing about two weeks after the surgery
Reader 65 I really had an epicanthoplasty and ended up so mentally unwell that I even had the silicone in my nose removed, but I'm afraid that if a surgery to close the epicanthoplasty fails too, I'll go crazy, so I've just been living like this for 8 years let's hang in there together
Reader 66 [] I also held out, but after 10 years I couldn't take it anymore and had reconstruction, and now it's turned into this mess
Reader 67 Confirmed, thank you!
Reader 68 [] I hope you get prettier
Reader 69 Could you tell me where you got treatment..?!
Reader 70 It's ilove Dermatology. If I get injection treatment, the raised scar definitely goes down, but it seems to come back over time, so I think you have to get it done several times
Reader 71 This is a private post.
Reader 72 [@니나나나] lol that was exactly me: canthoplasty -> reconstruction -> canthoplasty...... Please think it through carefully before choosing...
Reader 73 Private post.
Reader 74 Oh wow, aftercare is important for canthoplasty too.. I already booked double eyelid surgery and medial canthoplasty, so I’m worried.
Reader 75 [@skyblue2] Yeah, make sure to do your aftercare thoroughly, and if the scar looks raised, get scar treatment right away... I waited until time had passed, so it takes forever for the scar to fade especially raised scars
Reader 76 I think it is right to be careful with surgery.
Reader 77 [@Blue Sparrow] Right, since eye surgery is talked about so much like a procedure, but surgery is surgery.
Reader 78 Private post.
Reader 79 [@Ninanana] Yeah, exactly, that was it. They just said the scar would go down and did nothing about it, and even when I said it felt like they had over-closed it too much, they only kept saying it turned out well, so in the end I had to go to another hospital and got that mess made there
Reader 80 [@AngryBird] I went there for a consultation a long time ago but it was so rude that I didn’t do it - the photos all looked good though You’ve had a hard time, but hey, at least your eyes are actually visible Live on by comforting yourself
Reader 81 I was just about to look into getting a reconstruction too, and this honest review is so helpful, but now I'm suddenly worried.. Sigh.. My line is also way too high, so I need revision surgery too, and I'm torn between going to a place that specializes in reconstruction..
Reader 82 [@Benjamin Tree] I don't even trust a place that specializes in reconstruction anymore I hope you look carefully and choose well
Reader 83 [@AngryBird] True, looking at the reviews, it did seem kind of blunt and small, but the person themselves seems satisfied with it.. haha.. I guess I should think about reconstruction too..
Reader 84 I had reconstruction too, and I'm completely satisfied with mine I guess it really depends on the person. But I heard there are also a lot of people who get it reopened after reconstruction.. Still, going back to exactly how it was is always hard
Reader 85 [@룰루랄라힛] My first canthoplasty wasn't completely weird, so maybe the reconstruction failed~ The eye I was unhappy with was just one eye, but they ended up doing it strangely in a way that didn't feel like what I wanted from the reconstruction itself, so I had no choice but to open it again
Reader 86 I’m also thinking about reconstruction…… looks like not everything can be fixed
Reader 87 [@포실피잉] It should be reversible, but the shape is the problem
Reader 88 I thought inner corner surgery would be easy when I did it, but it wasn’t. There’s no such thing as an easy surgery
Reader 89 [@젤리죠앙] Inner corner surgery is surgery too~
Reader 90 It feels like inner corner surgery leaves way too much scarring
Reader 91 [@민짱임] On the contrary, I had no scar after my first surgery
Reader 92 [@민짱임] On the contrary, I had no scar after my first surgery
Reader 93 I’m in the middle of looking into reopening after a failed re-reconstruction... could you tell me which clinic did your reopening?..
Reader 94 This is a private post.
Reader 95 I'm also expecting inner corner revision surgery now
Reader 96 [@KkomoSarang] Do your research carefully and choose wisely
Reader 97 I'm considering inner corner surgery because I want a sharp inner eye corner, but can they design it to be sharp? Or is it different for each person..?
Reader 98 [@daengdaeng] It depends on the method used to cut and close it, but these days I think the basic style is sharp-looking. Still, it changes after surgery too, so I don't think it's 100% fixed..
Reader 99 That sounds like a lot to go through
Reader 100 [@Taejeo] For now, all I can hope is that the scar goes away
침대가좋아 The more you get interested in cosmetic surgery, the harder it feels to be satisfied with your current face. Let’s not look in the mirror and think about what to fix! Let’s look at the pretty parts and regain confidence!!
앵그리버드 [@침대가좋아] Right I’m not going to look anymore either, and I’ll just focus on scar treatment
튬니 With cosmetic surgery, I think you end up mentally spiraling over some bothersome part that only you can notice Let’s think that other people don’t know and only I know, and even if something starts bothering us from now on, if it’s not functional, let’s get our mindset together!!!
앵그리버드 [@튬니] Yeah Honestly, I don’t think scar treatment will make it completely better either, so I should just live like this
Reader 105 This is a private post.
앵그리버드 [@송은석와이프] Yeah I think most people really do end up with scars I don’t even know how much money I’ve thrown away on this.. sigh.... Fighting
뚜꼼이 But they say you absolutely can’t choose whether the epicanthoplasty shape is pointed or round, and you just have to live with the shape you already have, so I gave up
앵그리버드 [@뚜꼼이] I’m just going to treat the raised scar, and I’ve given up on the shape now
보글보글빵빵 Could I know where you got the reconstruction done?
앵그리버드 [@보글보글빵빵] I did it at Secret Plastic Surgery Clinic!!
아으앙옹 Seriously, even if other people don’t know, the person themselves feels that tiny difference so sensitively
앵그리버드 [@아으앙옹] Right That tiny....because of that, how much money am I spending

히히허후 Seriously, once one thing bothers you, you keep seeing only that..
앵그리버드 [@히히허후] Yeah, right Once it started bothering me, it kept bothering me...sigh...
jaeng Aftercare is important too.. I am getting epicanthoplasty this time too, so I am worried
앵그리버드 [@jaeng] Yeah, you have to be careful about scarring

아링히 Aftercare....you really have to pay a lot of attention to it
앵그리버드 [@아링히] Yeah, right. It is important that the surgery goes well, but aftercare is important too.
라임r I am considering epicanthoplasty restoration, but I should be careful
앵그리버드 [@라임r] If it goes wrong, you can end up like me, so think a lot about it
트임 You did not originally have any depressed scars or anything?? I am going crazy because of a hook-shaped depressed scar
앵그리버드 [@] Yeah, I did not get a hook-shaped depressed scar, only a raised scar where the flesh swelled up
츄깅 I desperately want to go back to my natural eyes too....even after restoration and secondary canthoplasty, my natural eyes were the best....they were the most me
앵그리버드 [@츄깅] Me too... My eyes did not even need surgery; they were originally big and I did not have an exposed lacrimal caruncle either. I just did it out of greed and it went wrong...well....sigh...
츄깅 [@앵그리버드] My eyes did not need epicanthoplasty either. My lacrimal caruncle was already visible and the eyes were already open The clinic said my Mongolian fold was severe, and I fell for that...
앵그리버드 [@츄깅] Honestly, I do not like my eyes now after secondary canthoplasty either, but I am not going to touch them anymore...sigh...
츄깅 [@앵그리버드] I do not like it compared with my original eyes either..............But the more I restore, the more it feels like a fatal blow,.,,,,I am just going to live with it too Seriously, I paid money and got scars and discomfort
앵그리버드 [@츄깅] That is exactly it I paid my own money and got scars and discomfort...
츄깅 [@앵그리버드] I think I considered restoration too lightly After restoration, my pupils look more recessed, so my eyes feel like they look smaller
앵그리버드 [@츄깅] Restoration is a much bigger major surgery....There is absolutely no guarantee of results, and restoring flesh that has already been cut away is......you cannot create something from nothing, so you have to pull my own tissue in and use it again, so I definitely think it is hard for the result to be good
츄깅 [@앵그리버드] Right At least because I had canthoplasty, I look somewhat human... My natural eye shape used to stretch horizontally, but that changed, so I really miss it
앵그리버드 [@츄깅] I should give up on going back to my original eyes and just live without touching them anymore..sigh
츄깅 [@츄깅] Hey, could you maybe look at my eyes in my recent post? I feel like my lacrimal caruncle may be less visible than my natural eyes, or maybe not.,..I have a lot on my mind
트임 Do you not get wrinkles?? Like vertical wrinkles... They can appear even after epicanthoplasty, so would restoration make even more appear...
앵그리버드 [@] I did not have wrinkle-like scars! Only raised scars

앵그리버드 [@WASD] I think going back to natural eyes ends the moment you have canthoplasty surgery. Especially with restoration, they pull in surrounding tissue to use, so even more so.

뮤지개 I also developed scar tissue where the epicanthoplasty connects the inner corner of the eye to the aegyo-sal. What kind of scar treatment should I get Could I know a clinic or treatment method that helped?
실짱 I am 2 weeks after epicanthoplasty restoration, and somehow the shape of my inner corners looks strange right now. Will it get better with time....? It is definitely nice that the hook shape is gone, but should I say the inner corner is still diamond-shaped? Also, I originally had an outline double eyelid, but it changed to an in-out line. But the line height near the inner corner is the same, and because the front was pinched, it does not feel like the line naturally passes along that eye line?
