I am not the kind of person who usually does heavy eye makeup, but before surgery I was bothered by the dark circles and the puffiness under my eyes, so every time I put on makeup I had to pile on concealer. That only made my makeup look thicker, and even then it did not really cover anything lol. Because of that my self-esteem dropped too, and I could not even look people in the eye properly.. lolSince my eyes also had hollowness, at first I thought about trying filler, but I saw a lot of warnings that the skin under the eyes is even thinner, so if it spreads or moves there is no fixing it, so I put that idea on hold.But after seeing Lalal and Lee Young-ji look completely different after lower eyelid fat repositioning, I got curious whether surgery would actually be better, so I went around consulting at several places with good reviews that had event discounts on the app.Because my eyes also had hollowness, most places said it would be more effective to do lower eyelid fat repositioning together, and I had kind of expected that already. My eyes really seem to have every possible issue.. kThe clinic where the director explained the procedure in detail also earned my trust, and when I first looked for a hospital, I was very focused on experience too.When you read lower eyelid fat repositioning reviews, there is a tendency for people to view the under-eye fat grafting part negatively, but here the reviews for under-eye fat grafting also seemed good overall, and I think that was the biggest reason I decided on this clinic lol.Anway, when you read a lot of posts about lower eyelid fat repositioning, many say recovery is totally possible within a week, but I do not think that is the case lolOf course it depends on the person, but at least in my experience, the swelling was definitely noticeable even in the mirror for about two weeks. If I could see it that clearly, other people probably noticed it even more. Still, unlike double-eyelid surgery, it is not the kind of operation where you need to remove stitches, so it was nice that I did not have to go back to the hospital and could remove the tape myself. They told me I could take the tape off after 5 to 7 days depending on the situation, but I have zero patience, so I took it off on day 5 right away. Even though there was still swelling, the first thing that was clearly better was that the dark circles became much brighter... And once the fat-related wrinkles disappeared, it looked so much cleaner lolllllIt has been a little over a month now, and as the swelling has gone down a lot, I think it has become more natural. Some people looking into lower eyelid fat repositioning ask, can I go to work the next day right after surgery? Honestly, I did not feel much discomfort in daily life, so if you are really tough maybe it is possible, but I am not that kind of person...^^ I think you should allow at least one to two weeks of breathing room.
