I had my first eye surgery at Inique two weeks ago. There is a discount if you were introduced by an acquaintance. It was very hard to choose one clinic among so many. I could not trust the app and community spaces where most people seemed to be brokers either. I learned about this place because two friends of a friend's friend had their eyes and nose done here and it turned out well. My first consultation here was six months ago. Since then, I kept deliberating about which clinic to choose. Because eyes are truly important, I am a cautious person, so I spent another six months looking into many places and thinking about it. In the end, I chose this place, which I had liked more than the others from the beginning. Recently I have been going around many clinics for body liposuction, and I feel it again: this clinic has the best facilities. I had consultations twice, including a re-consultation, before deciding on surgery. I was a little nervous on the day of surgery, but the reason for that nervousness was not fear of the surgery itself, but that I was worried it might go badly... haha When I arrived on the day of surgery, I met the manager and was given advance guidance on precautions and aftercare. The manager in charge, the section head, was the best of all the plastic surgery managers I have met so far. Kind, charismatic, and professional... I wanted to ask about all my other cosmetic procedures too. After the briefing, I ordered the medication in advance by quick delivery so I would not have to go to a pharmacy separately (paid), and I also received the aftercare set, and the hospital system itself seemed well organized, so I felt good when they prepared everything for me haha. I went over the design briefly with the director, changed into the patient gown in the changing room, and washed my face at the set-up sink. After parting with my guardian, I went up to the operating room. I went in extremely nervous, but the staff member who seemed to be in charge of important things in the operating room greeted me warmly with a bright smile... I felt much more relieved from that point. They put an IV in the back of my hand, but it did not go well, so they inserted it again somewhere else. It hurt. The bruise lasted almost two weeks. They also checked my blood pressure and prepared various things, and then the director came in. My original eyes had quite severe asymmetry, so the goal was to correct that, and I wanted a thick in-line front line. So they carefully worked on the design for nearly 20 to 30 minutes. They had me close and open my eyes several times to match the symmetry... They really designed it so carefully that I was grateful. From that point on I let go of my worries about the surgery, and as soon as I lay down I closed my eyes and fell asleep with IV sedation anesthesia... They said they would wake me up in the middle to check the line, but the medication must have worked so well that I do not really remember... haha I do remember twitching my fingers during the surgery... I really do not remember anything else, and I do not even remember how I got to the recovery room... haha. It was an interesting experience. I liked the line I saw right after surgery. I was looking in the mirror, and a nurse came over to check on me and so on. The service was good at that time too. After a little ice packing on my eyes, I was discharged right away. Then about five days later I came back to remove the stitches. That day I also ran into the manager, said hello, and checked my progress with the director. From right after surgery, I had no bruising at all, and the swelling was moderate. After the stitches came out and the swelling went down, the line became a little thinner, so I felt a bit regretful and thought maybe I should have made it a bit bigger, but it became a very pretty, natural in-line double eyelid. I am expecting it to look a little bigger once the swelling in the upper eyelid goes down... Right now I am still in the recovery stage, so there is still some residual swelling and the line is still noticeable, but it is getting better little by little, and since it has only been two weeks since surgery, this is of course normal, so I think it will become even more natural after one or two months. People around me were surprised and asked whether it really had only been two weeks since the double eyelid surgery, saying it looked like it had been months. Recovery was fast. I worried and thought about it for a long time, but I am glad because the result is satisfying. I had heard in the community that the swelling-laser aftercare is ineffective, so I debated whether to go or not, but I tried it and I do think it had a little effect. I hope the upper eyelid swelling goes down a bit more soon. For my first double eyelid surgery experience, I am very satisfied.
