I had really been worrying about the under-eye area for a long time. I did have a bit of dark circles, but after I turned 30, it completely changed. The under-eye fat became puffy and protruded, while the area underneath became sunken, creating a deep shadow. So even on days when I slept well and felt in good shape, I lived hearing, "Are you hurt somewhere? You look really tired." No matter how much I covered it with concealer, it just settled into the fine lines, and by the afternoon it looked even duller, which was honestly so stressful. So I finally decided to go for a consultation. At first I went to Gangnam because it is famous. But honestly, it was a bit overwhelming. The coordinator explained everything first, and I only met the doctor very briefly. It also felt like they were subtly recommending that I do other procedures besides just the under eyes, which made me a little uncomfortable. The price was also much higher than I expected. I live in Suwon, so I was also worried about going back and forth. They said I would need to come often during recovery, and just thinking about going all the way to Gangnam every time already made me tired. Then I thought I should just find a good place in Suwon, and while looking around I found Goeun Beauty Clinic. It was close to Yeongtong Station, so the access was perfect. The consultation here felt completely different. The doctor looked at my under-eye area very carefully and said, "The answer is not to simply remove the fat. We need to relocate the bulging fat into the sunken area to smooth out the contour, and that is what makes it natural." As we looked at my photos together, he explained my under-eye structure one by one, which made it easy to understand, and above all, he honestly said there were things I did not need to do, which really built trust. He also answered all my questions about recovery time, scars, and side effects without rushing me, so I was able to decide calmly. On the day of surgery, I was really nervous But because they kept explaining things during the procedure, it was better than I expected. I also really liked that the method was done through the conjunctival inside, so there would be no visible scar on the outside. For a few days after surgery, I had swelling and slight bruising, but they had already told me about all of that, so I could just think, "Ah, this is normal." Around two weeks later, it settled into place naturally. Now the under-eye shadow is clearly lighter and the puffiness is gone, so my overall impression looks much brighter. People around me say I look like a different person The aftercare was also thorough every time I went in, which was reassuring. I really feel like I should have done it sooner:)
