I'm dealing with my own regrets about my second procedure. I did the suture method 3 years ago but in September did an epi. I regret this so much and think the stitches in one eye will be falling out shortly as a result.
Do people ask you about your eyes? I'm trying to deal with the aftermath if I leave my eyes the way they are and have them fall. I guess I care how they look and what others think and I'm struggling with that.
I'm also struggling on a daily basis with my eyelid surgery. I got the upper eyelids done a few years ago and the sutures broke in front and I got them redone. This time I cut some of my inner corner of my eye (medical epi for those of Asian descent) per the doctor's recommendation. I trusted him and I constantly feel them stretching and moving. I even think one of the stitches is loose and constantly worried about my eyes coming loose.
I've been wearing glasses more and just talking to friends and reading various forums to cope. It's been 4 months since my revision surgery. I don't know if I should get it fixed or just let it droop to go back to it's natural state.
Granted I know my case is not the same as yours but I wanted to thank you for your post. Right now, I'm having a hard time looking at myself or doing makeup since my eyes are impacted there. I regret it everyday but feel hope in the sense of community we have here.
