I originally had completely monolids, so every time I took photos, people often said my eyes looked sleepy and tired, sigh I felt burdened by the idea of creating a very dramatic double-eyelid line, and I kept thinking I wanted my eyes to look as defined as possible while still staying natural. For reference, the style I like is eyes like Suzy’s or Ahn Yujin’s! So while looking into different options, I read a lot of reviews, and it turned out there are more people these days than I expected who want a natural change like me!? I thought I’d never decide if I kept only reading reviews haha, so I consulted with Director Kim Tae-woon at ㅇㅇㄷ, whose before-and-after reviews I liked the most, and he told me that in my case my eyelid-opening strength was a little weak, so non-incisional eye correction alone could improve it sufficiently! I was already thinking about non-incisional surgery because I was worried about scars and recovery time with an incision, and the consultation matched what I had been thinking, so that’s how I decided.
Another hospital-selection tip! In my case, instead of just choosing the cheapest place, I narrowed it down to places that gave thorough consultations and explained the best direction for my eyes! I recommend going to consultations with clear criteria of your own~!! The surgery ended faster than I expected, and the non-incisional eye-correction pain that everyone is curious about was... it varies by person... On the day of surgery, I felt nothing, and after the anesthesia wore off there was just a slight throbbing? Taking the prescribed medicine meant it wasn’t very uncomfortable, and I was able to return to daily life sooner than I expected! About a month later, the line gradually became more natural and settled in like my original eyes!! More than anything, what I’m happiest about is that it doesn’t feel like I had double-eyelid surgery; rather, the strength to open my eyes improved and my impression became naturally clearer. If you’re like me, with monolids and wanting a natural change rather than a dramatic line, I recommend looking through many non-incisional eye-correction reviews and getting consultations!! Before surgery, I was most curious about the cost, pain, and recovery period for non-incisional eye correction, but after experiencing it myself, it was less burdensome than I thought and I’m satisfied with the natural result haha
