For some time, one side of my double eyelid had become more defined while the other side was fading, and I had been living with severe asymmetry that stressed me out. Finally, I made up my mind and decided to undergo eye surgery. Every time I took a photo, the asymmetry stood out so much that I did not even want to look in the mirror, and covering it with makeup had its limits.
I wanted to have it corrected properly at a good place, so I really put in the effort and went to consultations at a total of five clinics. The place I felt most confident about was Aiting Plastic Surgery, where I had a consultation with Dr. Lee Hanbyeol.
Dr. Lee Hanbyeol was kindness itself, and he explained the problems with my eyes very accurately and thoroughly. In particular, the director's aesthetic sense was exactly the natural yet refined style I wanted, so I trusted him even more.
After the consultation, we decided to proceed with surgery using the three procedures I truly needed: natural adhesion, eye shape correction, and upper eyelid fat removal. On the day of surgery, I was extremely nervous, but the operation time was surprisingly short, to the point that it felt anticlimactic.
What was fascinating during recovery was that one eye had some bruising, but the other eye looked so natural it was as if it had not been operated on at all. The bruised side lasted longer than I expected, and even when a month had passed, the bruising had not completely gone away.
Still, as the swelling went down and the line took shape, it became fun to look in the mirror every day. Now that more time has passed, everything has settled in, and the severe asymmetry I had before surgery has improved beyond recognition.
Of course, no one can have both eyes be perfectly identical, so they are not exactly 100% identical as if measured with a ruler, but the asymmetry is hardly visible. I had been worried because it was a bit expensive, but I thought there must be a reason why so many people around me recommended Aiting, and I am satisfied with the result. If you are worried about severe asymmetry or excess upper eyelid fat like I was, please at least get a consultation with Dr. Lee Hanbyeol at Aiting!
