My Procedures

By now you should have an inkling that I actually did my eyes. The exact procedure that I had done was epicanthoplasty and double eyelid surgery. I shall go into the specifics of the surgery and what exactly it is.
Epicanthoplasty is the removal of the fold that obscures the eyes in the middle. By removing this fold, your eyes will appear larger and if your eyes used to be far apart from your nose, this will actually make it look a little bit closer.
Alot of Asians actually have this Mongolian fold, did you notice the 2 lines that run down the middle of the eyes are less apparent after the surgery? The eyes appear brighter and livelier.

The next procedure that I had done is the double fold. I actually have hidden folds in my eyes that sometimes would appear tapered when I cried the night before or due to lack of sleep. This causes unevenness in both of my eyes and I hated it. So before I actually decided on doing something about it. I had to decide on the type of double eyelid that I want.
You see, there are 2 types that are popular. One is the tapered double eyelid and the other one is the parallel double eyelid. Most of the Chinese possesses tapered double eyelids. It is more natural looking and suits Asian faces better. This is more Korean style, they prefer natural tapered lids such as this as evidenced by most of the Korean celebrities possessing tapered eyelids. Some examples as shown below.



The other popular style that the Japanese favor would be the parallel double eyelids. This is more reminiscent of the Caucasian style eyes though I have to add that it is not the same case as having deep set eyes as them. The double fold is is parallel from the inner folds till all the way outwards. Anime looking eyes are another example when you think of parallel folds. Here are some examples.


Here's the obvious difference between the both.


Well, eventually, I opted for the Parallel lids as it suited my face better. Eye make up also shows up better on parallel eyelids. However, please be sure of what you would like to achieve before you even decide to go under the knife. Though I do have to add that double folds are mostly reversible but invasive surgeries are actually not minor issues, so do take them in serious contemplation and do not rush into it.

I will discuss the preparation details next so do look out for it.

My start to cosmetic surgery

I come from a country where it is not widely accepted to have any form of surgery in order to enhance your face. I have been judged, criticized and gossiped upon by the whore mongers in my office so much so that i can't just shrug my shoulders and ignore them. Because it hurts. The way people say things, the way they defame you and try to make you less of a normal human being just because you had some work done, comparing your past photographs, making a big hoo ha of everything you do, exaggerating facts and the sneaky glances they give you when they think that you are not looking. FUCK them!
Fact of the matter is I look good. I feel more confident, I don't have to put on so much makeup anymore and yes, the men look my way. I have received so many compliments on how good I look that I cannot count them, I enjoy being in the spotlight and turning heads. As to what you have read so far, these are some of the pros and cons. Of being me.
A brief introduction of myself. I was not born ugly, In fact, I was born above average. But all these while, I hated my small phoenix eyes. I had hidden tapered folds that would sometimes appear, and sometimes not. I wanted to look prettier and with makeup, my face was enhanced especially when I created double folds with double eyelid tapes. I looked amazing and that was when I made up my mind to get my eyes done. I am vain and I admit it. I wanted my double folds to be permanent and that was when I decided to get surgery done.
This blog is not meant to encourage readers to opt for plastic surgery. It is meant for people who have decided that they need something done and that they are not alone. I will describe the entire process along with all the necessary information that one will need in order to start on this path.
Cosmetic surgery can be addictive and I strongly urge you not to overdo it. Think of it more of an enhancement but do the right research and make the right choice before proceeding with any procedures. Be prepared for the people around you that will talk, but the one that truly matters don't mind, and the ones that do not matter are the ones that minds the most...
