After my first double-eyelid surgery, things were fine for a while, but as time passed the crease gradually became thinner and a slight asymmetry appeared too People around me said it wasn't very noticeable, but I look at my own face every day, so I could see the difference so clearly that it kept bothering me.. My makeup also didn't sit well on the crease, and my eyes looked sleepy, so I ended up getting revision surgery! Because it was a revision, I looked into it much more carefully than the first time. I searched almost everywhere, including a community, Naver Cafe, Babitalk, Gangnam Unni, and Instagram, and I visited several clinics for consultations! While comparing the crease shapes one by one during consultations, [Clinic A] matched the line I had in mind the closest. It wasn't too flashy, but it had a clear look, which I liked. At some other places, they said it would be better to do ptosis correction too, but here they said that with my current eye condition, redoing only the double-eyelid surgery would be enough. Honestly, at first I was even more confused because each clinic said something different. Still, they explained why ptosis correction wasn't needed, one point at a time, so it made sense, and I liked that they didn't feel like they were pushing unnecessary surgery, so I decided on them. In the end, I only had revision double-eyelid surgery with natural adhesion! Maybe because it wasn't an incision method, I could go back to daily life faster than I expected, and the swelling went down quickly too. I had worried a bit because I heard swelling after revision can go down unevenly, but mine went down similarly on both sides, so I wasn't stressed much during recovery. It's almost settled now, and the line is much clearer than before, with the left-right balance also much better, so I'm satisfied. Before, I had to keep adjusting my makeup because the difference in the crease showed every time, but now that part is almost gone, and people seem to tell me I look sleepy less often than before. I worried a lot because it was a revision surgery, but in the end I feel like I made the right decision. If you're struggling because the crease has loosened or become thin like me, I recommend getting consultations at several clinics and finding the direction that suits your eyes best!
