I am 23 years old, going on 24 in May which is the month of which I plan to get my surgery. I have always wanted this surgery and I can actually say that I've been using eyelid glue for 6-7 years. I thought is be ok with it but everyday it just adds on another extra thing for me to do and sometimes the line I create flips or is too small. I'm so tired of it. I don't want to keep putting eyelid glue and for a couple times I did use tape which didn't work quite well as glue did. All in all, I want to be free from that hassle and overall but happy with the way my eyes look.

I finally had a talk today with my dad, something I have been dreading to tell him. He was supportive but in a I-dont-think-you-need-it-but-whatever-makes-you-happy-and-I-have-no-choice. I feel relieved now bc now I know it's actually going to happen. And I so can not wait.

This is really exciting, I'm glad your dad is supportive.  Just out of curiousity, how do you glue your eyelids?

Hi there! I used a special glue designed for double eyelids and a fork it comes with. I just draw a line in my eyelid and poke it with the fork so I can create the double eyelid. Very easy but tiring doing it everyday 365 a year. Just want to have permanent double eyelids finally!

Wow if you are comfortable with it I think it would be so interesting if you made a video of how you glue your eyelids and embed it into your review.  I just read your update- do your nostrils flare when you talk or do they permanently look flared?  If they flare when you talk you could consider botox as a temporary fix.  Just an idea, I know how it is when you just want a couple things fixed already but it is so expensive to do.

Thanks for the Botox suggestion! But the doctor I went to wouldn't do anything like that to my face for some reason.

There is probably a good reason that I'm not aware of.  Too bad though- that would have been cheaper!  At least at first.

Just read your update- I'm really sorry you are so unhappy with your results.  I agree with your mom that you should wait it out before you make any final judgements- there is a lot of swelling and healing that needs to happen and can take months sometimes.  That being said- there is always the possibility of getting a revision if you are unhappy with your results.  Be kind to yourself- don't be so hard on yourself right now.  You are beautiful no matter what.

Moving surgery date

Jessinmay526
So it's been awhile since I've last updated and I have had to push my surgery date back as alot of issues have arised. I had such trouble deciding whether to do double eyelid surgery or my rhinoplasty first. I also found out that if I was to do my rhinoplasty, my procedure would be called alarplasty as I'm just narrowing my flared nostrils. I'm still having so much trouble deciding which I want first. I hate the flare of my nostrils to the point where sometimes I just don't even want to go out in public bc I feel so self conscious. But I also feel like I can't keep going on with life using eyelid glue every single day. I've been using it for about 6 years and its getting so old waking up and using eyelid glue to make double eyelids. I know I should get my double eyelid surgery first but for some reason I just want my nose done first. I feel like the nose is the center of your face and its what makes you. But but but. It's such a hard decision to make. I'm starting to think I should save up for both procedures and get them done at the same time. I really can't decide. But I'm leaning more on the double eyelid surgery as its something I need more. It will make every day getting up easier. Perhaps I'll like my nose better once I get my eyelid surgery done. Such hard decisions. I'm still debating.

Getting more depressed waiting

I think about getting my eyes and nose done every single waking moment of my life. It's just seriously that bad that I want to change the way my eyes and nose looks. I know that once I get my eyes and nose done I'm going to be so confident, more social, just everything that I want to do/be. I lock myself in my room when all my friends go out just bc I think I look ugly. I refuse to take pictures, I feel so insecure, I can't make any friends bc I'm afraid of how ugly my face is. I know it's harsh I say that about myself but it's the truth. And this is how I feel. Everyday I just ponder about how I'd look after my surgery. I know would be so much more happier. I don't want to be locked up and antisocial bc of my looks. I want to finally feel beautiful and just free.
