Am I a good candidate for OBO surgery? (Quite a long post)

[nom.]

Hello. First, I'm not very good at English, so I wrote this thread using a translator.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

I am an Asian man and an ordinary male college student.

First, my eyes have the Mongolian fold crease typical of Northern Asians.

Simply put, unlike Westerners, my inner canthus is covered by a fold.

Because of this, my eyes look very sharp and appear narrow.

I think these are eyes that are difficult to view favorably in society.

(Based on my personal experience)

However, in contrast to these eyes, Western eyes lack the Mongolian fold and have clearly visible inner corners, giving a refreshing appearance. They are perceived as eyes that can create a relatively favorable impression, and it seems they are also preferred in Korea.

Perhaps because of this, I understand that in Korea or Asia, double eyelid surgery and inner canthus surgery are sometimes performed together.

For Asians, especially Koreans, the average ECD (External Canthal Distance) is typically between 34mm and 40mm. When I measured mine with digital calipers, it was around 36mm to 37mm, which is within the normal range.

(Numbers are just numbers; since each face's size and proportions differ, this likely isn't a major factor.)

However, I also desire an eye shape where the inner canthus is visible, making the eyes appear larger and longer and creating a more favorable impression, rather than eyes where the inner canthus is hidden, giving a fierce look. Therefore, I believe inner canthus surgery is necessary.

Even without focusing on the numbers, I have a face shape with wide margins beside the eyes and prominent temples, making my eyes appear even more crowded and resulting in the worst possible outcome.

Therefore, I believe OBO is necessary.

What should I do...?

Do you think OBO would be suitable?



Had I not been born with this face, I would likely have been more grounded in reality and had significantly higher dopamine levels.

I wouldn't have endured these hellish days of constant discouragement and despair.


Thank you for reading.

To remove your eyelid fold, you need a lateral canthoplasty, not an OBO.


Create a conversation with me and send your photos i will help you.

Yeah thats what i was thinking

Why would you need OBO

I fully understand if this is difficult to grasp.



Removing the eyelid crease is one thing, but it's not just about eliminating that crease. To achieve harmony with the double eyelid, we also need to expose about 2mm to 3mm more of the inner canthus that's covered by skin.

This results in a significantly larger and longer eye shape.



However, as mentioned in the main text, doing so will greatly narrow the distance between the eyes (ICD).



I don't have many options.

@Resistance. Thoughts?

ICD refers to the distance between the medial canthuses, not the distance between the eyes . We call it IPD.

Also, I still don't fully understand what you're talking about, but OBO is something performed to correct interocular distance or serious asymmetrical problems.

Thank you for your words. However, this issue is likely quite complex.

Simply removing the eyelid fold (Mongolian fold) won't make a significant difference. It just eliminates the crease line.

But I want to reveal the inner corner of the eye that's covered by that skin once the fold is gone.

That's the essence of what people often call the hunter's eye.


And yes, the goal of my surgery is to remove wrinkles and expose the medial canthus.

I apologize for misunderstanding the terms ICD and IPD.

I want larger-looking eyes, but if I expose the inner canthus by a few millimeters, my eyes might appear too close together.

Oh, okey now i understood.

OBO may be beneficial for the situation you describe, but it's not a widely performed cosmetic surgery like Lefort's. Even in Türkiye, the cost is between $15,000 and $30,000. It's generally performed for those who truly need it, but it can occasionally be performed for cosmetic purposes. (Giant Implants)

아, 알겠습니다. 이제 알겠습니다.

OBO는 말씀하신 상황에 도움이 될 수 있지만, 르포르처럼 널리 시행되는 성형 수술은 아닙니다. 터키에서도 비용은 15,000달러에서 30,000달러 사이입니다. 일반적으로 진정으로 필요한 사람들에게 시행되지만, 간혹 미용 목적으로 시행되기도 합니다. (자이언트 임프)

Oh, sorry, I misread that. I just woke up from sleeping, lol.

 

[Resistance.]

Hold on, $15,000??

When did the price change?

I thought it was $4,000 according to Ape101...?

OBO? Dude, there's no way an OBO is $4,000. Even in Turkey, it's between $20,000 and $30,000. Dude, if you actually open a conv and send me your photos, I can create a more realistic and accurate surgery map for you.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misread that.

No problem.
