I originally had monolids, so there was no double-eyelid line when applying eye makeup, and drawing eyeliner felt awkward. I also had slightly weak eye-opening strength. My eyes themselves were not small, but because they were monolids, they looked somewhat constricted in photos, which quietly bothered me. I researched double-eyelid surgery and had natural adhesion and ptosis correction together at Idel Plastic Surgery. The most important thing I said during the consultation was that I did not want overly dramatic eyes and wanted them to look as natural as possible. I thought suddenly having thick double eyelids on monolids would look awkward even to me, so I wanted a thin, natural line. The surgeon examined my eye shape and opening strength directly and explained not only how the line would be made, but also how the eyes would change when combined with ptosis correction. When I described my preferred style, the design was tailored to it, so I had a clear direction after the consultation. At first, the line looked more defined than expected because of swelling, which worried me a little, lol. Since a line had suddenly appeared on eyes that had always been monolids, it looked very awkward at first. In the day-five photos, swelling was still present and the line looked a little thick, but the eyes themselves were clearly more defined than before surgery. Early on, the area around my eyes felt slightly tight, but after a few days the discomfort decreased a lot. As the swelling subsided, the line gradually became thinner and more natural. Perhaps because I also had ptosis correction, opening my eyes feels easier than before. I used to strain to open my eyes because of my monolids, but now they look clear even when I open them comfortably, which is more satisfying than expected. Since I had surgery on monolids, I initially worried the line might look too obvious, but now it is exactly the level I wanted. Rather than making my eyes dramatically larger, it feels as if a double-eyelid line naturally appeared on my original eye shape, and people around me say it looks more natural than expected. It has only been a month, so it is not completely settled yet, but considering the initial swelling, I am quite satisfied so far. It is amazing simply to have double eyelids on eyes that were monolids, and I can definitely feel the difference in my eye area when applying makeup, so makeup has become easier lately. I never wanted a dramatic line from the beginning; I only wanted my eyes to look naturally clearer, and I am satisfied that the result seems to be heading exactly in that direction.
