What stressed me out most wasn’t even the dark circles, but how the area under my eyes stuck out and looked puffy. No matter how much concealer I used, the shadow remained, and I hated hearing that I always looked tired. It also looked worse in photos, so I kept worrying about it I consulted a few hospitals, and while talking with them I learned that what I had wasn’t just dark circles, but a fairly large shadow caused by under-eye fat( I didn’t know that). Each doctor explained things differently, but at Saegim they explained in a way that let me understand why the area under my eyes looked that way and how they would reposition the fat. Even though it was my first time hearing about this surgery, it was very easy to understand. What I especially liked was that they didn’t just talk about moving the fat alone after looking at my under-eye condition, but explained how they would balance the overall proportions too. It wasn’t a consultation that made me expect too much. The bruising wasn’t too severe, but the swelling was quite noticeable for about a week. Especially in the mornings, my under-eyes looked more swollen, so I kept looking in the mirror for no reason Still, the swelling gradually went down over time, and because the clinic kept checking my progress and answered right away whenever I had questions, I wasn’t very anxious during recovery. I’m seriously the worrier type, so before surgery I searched everywhere like Naver and apps and went overboard^^ Then after about two weeks, going outside didn’t bother me much, and around a month later I could feel that my under-eyes had become much flatter. It was only around two months that I felt it was completely natural, and from then on I barely even thought about having surgery. My smile didn’t feel awkward, and when I touched it, it also felt much softer! But seriously, just doing under-eye fat repositioning alone made my whole impression look better..?? Before, even with makeup, the shadow under my eyes remained so I looked tired, but now it has become so neat that I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. Even without makeup I look much cleaner, and I barely use concealer anymore. When taking photos, I used to always edit the under-eye area first, but now I almost never feel stressed about it. The puffiness under my eyes when I squint has basically disappeared Under-eye fat repositioning is less about becoming dramatically pretty and more about refining your impression. Honestly, I’m most satisfied that my tired-looking impression improved naturally...
