Epicanthoplasty 9 months ago pulled eyes too close together - advice? (Photo)

Question

I got plastic surgery done in Korea last year summer and currently 9 months post-op. I’m upset that I was pressured to getting epicanthoplasty, I just wanted double eyelid surgery and it ended up with my eyes looking too close together and overall throwing my face structure off. I’ve also had a rhinoplasty, originally just wanted alar plasty because I liked the height and shape of my nose except for my wide nostrils, but the surgeon did a implant and cartilage for the tip. The tip droops.

Hello! Thank you for your question.In the photos your eyes look good. For your nose I recommend revision rhinoplasty. For elevate the tip we need to use rib or ear cartilage reconstruction. Best Regards!

I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the results of your plastic surgery. It can be a frustrating and disappointing experience when the results do not meet your expectations or desires.

It's important to remember that every individual's face is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's also important to do your research before undergoing any cosmetic procedure and to communicate your desires and concerns clearly with your surgeon.

In your case, it sounds like you were pressured into getting a procedure that you didn't really want, and that the outcome has not been what you hoped for. It's understandable to feel upset and frustrated about this.

If you are still unhappy with the results of your surgery, I would recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist who can evaluate your current situation and recommend possible treatment options. They may be able to suggest options such as revision surgery or non-surgical treatments that can help improve your appearance.

It's important to take your time and carefully consider your options before undergoing any further procedures. Make sure to ask plenty of questions, communicate your concerns clearly, and choose a surgeon who has experience and expertise in the specific procedure you are considering.

I hope this helps, 
best of luck !
