This was my second surgery, but after the first one my crease had gotten really messy, so I ended up getting revision surgery At first I thought I just needed to fix the double eyelid again, so as I went around for consultations I realized my eyes were much more of a difficult case than I had expected, and most hospitals said doing only the double eyelid again was not recommended and that I would need to combine it with other procedures like ptosis correction, fat repositioning, and fat grafting.It was pretty shocking because I had thought it would be simple, but once the surgical scope got broader, that changed the whole feeling;;Honestly, I did not want to spend a lot of money on cosmetic surgery, so I was planning to just find a reasonably priced place and go with that, but once it came to this, I figured I would have no regrets if I got it done at a place that is actually good, so I threw out my list and started over.Looking only at doctors who specialize in eyes, what I learned from going around was that fat repositioning had to be done both above and below the eyes, and especially for the upper eyelid area, fat grafting also had to be done together to prevent double creases.If I think about it now, it took almost 3 months just for research and consultations, but that was unavoidable because the number of procedures I was told were necessary kept increasing, and at the same time it was so hard to find a place that matched my taste.I went to 10 places in total and had the surgery at VN, and I had already liked it from the reviews because recovery seemed fast and the eye style matched my taste.And above all, Dr. Kim Taehoon explained the surgery in really detailed terms and seemed like he was trying to find the plan that suited me best by looking at several methods together.They said the asymmetry in the lines on both sides was basically because the crease had been set incorrectly in the first surgery, so for the revision they would make it 12 mm again, and for the under-eye area we decided on repositioning only, without separate fat grafting.After the surgery, the part I worried about most was recovery..... As expected, since I had ptosis correction, fat repositioning, and fat grafting together in a revision surgery, I prepared by buying swelling care products from Olive Young because I thought I would swell up like a goldfish, but did I manage it for about 3 days?It was not as severe as I expected, and I was also too lazy to do extra care on my own ㅇ.ㅇ The hospital checked my progress and gave me swelling laser treatment.It was an eye that I had always heard was difficult, but I am glad the double eyelid line was set in the style I wanted, and I really like the under-eye area too Overall my impression looks cleaner, and I do not feel any side effects like eye pulling, so I am happy.
