I did my lateral canthoplasty in korea 6 weeks ago and one of my eye is showing too much red conjunctiva. I am now back in my own country and i emailed the korea clinic about this issue and they told me that that eye is still swelling thats why it is still showing the red conjunctiva and it will get better with time. Im not sure if i can trust them but i hope that any doctors here can give me good advice. Should i wait for more time or is the results permanent?
