After living with a monolid for 30 years, I suddenly got a double eyelid on one side, so this was the third hospital I toured in a rush. I'm a consultation manager in the same industry, so I'm picky when choosing a hospital, but I'm the type who prioritizes the result after surgery above all else. First off, the coordinator was a robot. The consultation manager was the worst. Just by looking at me, they diagnosed me like they were the doctor themselves, saying it was an eye that needed incision and that if I could afford it I should also get lower eyelid fat repositioning, etc. I was a scaredy-cat about my first double-eyelid surgery and had no intention of incisional surgery. When I made it clear I wanted to consult with the doctor, not the manager, they got annoyed, stepped out, and came back in with the doctor. After seeing the doctor, they said my eye could come out fine with the non-incision method and only recommended an epicanthoplasty at most. At first I thought the recommended line was way too thick, so until the surgery date I kept saying I wanted it thin and natural. I was under sedation, and since I wanted to reduce the cost burden and was okay with showing my full face, I asked whether I could apply to be an eye model. The manager said, with a nuance like I wasn't good-looking enough and wasn't even a case with good eyes, that I wasn't the kind of face for that In the end, the eye came out really well. People around me, and even clients asking in my consulting work from completely different medical fields, kept asking about it a lot. I'm glad I listened to the doctor in the operating room when he said a thin line would probably not look good and told me to trust an in-out line right before anesthesia. Also, the marketing team asked for an app review using a full-face selfie before and after surgery to show the huge difference, which pissed me off Anyway, it turned out well.
