For several years, my mom had been having a really hard time because of eye fatigue As you can see, she also had a lot of under-eye fat, and sagging had started in the eyelid area, so the eyelid was gradually covering the pupil, they said.
With the somewhat shallow(?) knowledge I had, I thought eye surgery would be the answer, but surgery for a younger person and surgery for someone middle-aged are different, so I was worried too. Just in case, I asked my mom and she said she wanted to get the surgery, so as a daughter I did my best to look into everything
I visited 3 places, and it was tiring taking my parents around, but... still, for anyone planning to have surgery for their parents, I really recommend going together. Because hearing the explanation myself helped me feel reassured, and if my parents asked something I could step in and say what they meant when it didn't come across properly. Most of all, I think it's important to judge whether there's any overtreatment, but parents may not know that well, right? The reason I chose Seokim Clinic Director Yoon Tae-hyun after visiting 3 places was partly because of that last point
According to the director, my mom didn't need upper blepharoplasty. Since the problem was weak eye-opening strength, he recommended doing ptosis correction together with double eyelid surgery if she wanted double eyelids. Actually, I had been overlooking the double eyelid itself as a point of concern, but when the director asked, my mom said she wanted it Seeing her nod, I felt like I had found the right hospital
So the surgery was incision-based ptosis correction + lower blepharoplasty, and both my mom and I waited until the surgery day with a mix of anticipation and worry. It's been three months since the surgery now. The photo was taken when the swelling had not gone down much, so she looks a bit puffy, but now she looks much more natural than in this photo. My mom had never had cosmetic surgery before, so she was very worried, but the under-eye fat was neatly improved and once she had double eyelids, she seems so much younger than before....??? She had completely put aside taking care of her appearance while raising us Seeing her satisfied when she looks in the mirror makes me even happier lol
Actually, I had surgery done for both my mom and dad, but my dad hates having photos taken to an extreme degree... so I only took photos of my mom. I thought it might be helpful for anyone looking for reference, so I'm leaving this review. Getting the surgery done well makes it feel like she's become 10 years younger, so I'm really proud.
