I didn't know there would be a repeat surgery in my life...
I had surgery for rhinoplasty and epicanthoplasty in '14, but after two years, my eyes slowly started to relax and I started to feel sleepy. I don't know how other people will see it, but I think it was more stressful because I looked at my face the most and up close. Above all, when I took a picture, I saw that my eyes were double... Even my friends who are not at all interested in plastic surgery or appearance looked at you closely without any malice and looked at your left side. People say it's amazing that my eyes are different from my right eye.. haha ^^ I was afraid that if I said that I had dual eyes, I would become solemn, so every time that happened, I just thought I was stressed because of my eyes.. haha Then I thought I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to have the surgery again.. That was my original intention. Rather than preparing and making a decision, I'm the type of person who takes action right away when I'm suddenly hooked haha.
My friends say that the incision scar will remain during the first treatment and that the swelling will last for almost a year, so no matter what! I was stubborn about wanting to have the surgery through a non-incision, but I think that was the root of the problem. I found out during a consultation for revision surgery that even though I have double eyelids, I tend to lack the strength to open my eyes... Selfies were okay, but when I look at pictures taken by others, my left eye especially loses strength. Because I couldn't use it, the amount of exposure to the pupil was less than that of my right eye (commonly called eye glow haha), so my ability to open my eyes wasn't good in the first place (I don't think I had ptosis during the first surgery), but the lines in the eye that had surgery through non-incision started to loosen up. It was a heavier case...
As I became more cautious about reoperation, I focused on eye specialty hospitals + reoperation hospitals + private hospitals (this is optional)... Since I lack the strength to open my eyes, let's do eye correction no matter what~ Something like this. I only went to hospitals that gave vague explanations, but the only hospital that posted my picture and asked me if I could see the difference in the light in both eyes, and explained that the reason my left eye was less exposed was because my eye opening power was weaker than my right eye. So I decided to leave here...
In some ways, it's a basic process that is so obvious and simple, but there are so many hospitals that don't explain even this, so it seemed like something new to me. The director held my eyebrows and told me to open and close my eyes, and looked at me carefully several times. I was sure to open my left eye. My strength is weak... I was worried that the director's diagnosis was wrong, so I felt like he checked it several times to make it more clear, and I think I liked that because the director explained things calmly in a quiet tone.
Anyway, I had the strength to open my eyes. I found out that it wasn't very good, and I decided to get an incision + eye correction with the thought that I shouldn't have to do it again. I didn't want the front of my eyes to be blocked, so I decided to get epicanthoplasty. Since I wanted to have a prettier surgery with a different line from the first sulcus, I asked that I want the line to be extended splendidly and the space between my eyelids to be narrower. What
I kept emphasizing until the day of surgery was I asked Director Ollo and the counseling director to make my puffy eyes bigger and clearer and to make sure they were corrected naturally and not overcorrected. They accepted all of my pickiness.. haha.. I am really grateful and sorry ^_ㅠ
When the swelling goes down, it still feels like my eyes are uneven, so I I was anxious, but they said that since the strength to open both eyes is different, the eye correction may be tied with a different strength, so the swelling may be slightly different (since the left eye is weaker, the left eye is tied a little harder). Once the swelling goes down, it will adjust naturally. Just wait a little longer. He said he would see, and the director wasn't saying this because he was in a rush to appease me without any certainty, but he was really calm, which made me feel reassured. I think he was so confident because he had seen many cases like this and knew it would settle in well. Considering that he had
incisions, eye correction, and epicanthoplasty, there was no swelling. There really wasn't any bruising, and after a month, I didn't notice any double eyelids, and the swelling seemed to have gone down and settled down well. Since it was an incision, I need to wait a few more months to see any minor swelling, but I'm quite satisfied with my eyes right now!! I feel good because my eyes have grown as I wanted and my vision has improved without overcorrection. They said they will take a long look at my progress, so I plan to go back in a few months to inquire about the extent of the swelling. I hope the reoperation is successful at a hospital you like!
