Before <before the double eyelid came undone> After <after the double eyelid came undone> <progress> <recent 1> <recent 2> After double eyelid surgery with the buried method 12 years ago, my double eyelid suddenly came undone......
<First consultation details> If I wanted a semi-out line, it would be possible with medial epicanthoplasty, but a semi line makes a thin crease in the front, so if the skin sags later, it can get covered If I do an incision and ptosis correction, my eyes will become very intense-looking If I do ptosis correction, the upper eyelid will become a bit puffy No particular need for skin or fat removal
Since I went to the consultation unprepared, even after hearing things I couldn’t remember them well, and it just felt like I heard a general, simple explanation about the surgery
Incision, ptosis correction, upper epicanthoplasty 150 Medial epicanthoplasty costs an additional 40
<Second consultation details> Medial epicanthoplasty is for people with severe Mongolian folds (not my case) If the Mongolian band is released with medial epicanthoplasty, the eye opens up and the upper inner corner of the eye moves If it is opened too little, it reattaches Creating a wound just to do a little more is greed My eyes can turn out natural without doing it Remove some sagging skin during the incision Semi-out line x, there are specific eyes that suit it
+Consultation with the manager No need to drink pumpkin juice for a month (swelling depends on constitution) Disinfection, tape removal, and swelling laser the day after surgery Suture removal at week 1 For revision surgery, no acquaintance discount x no review discount x If you refer a lot of people, points accumulate and you get VIP care
<Day of surgery> Went to the operating room, designed the eyes, and showed photos of the eyes I wanted (Irene... haha) They said my eye structure is different, so it can’t be done like that Because I have protruding eyes and a narrow upper eyelid area, they said if I tried to make it about that much, it would look too heavy/sultry and the upper eyelid would become puffy I requested a line that is clearly visible when my eyes are open but not too heavy/sultry IV failed on my left wrist and was kept on the right I told them my weight and that I get a little carsick, so they reduced the anesthetic by 1.5 Sedation anesthesia felt awful ㅡㅡ My mind felt strange and it felt like I was going to die It felt like I had died but only my mind was still alive ㅡㅡ I endured it while repeating my husband’s name over and over After I gradually came to, they did local anesthesia I woke up, but my head was still heavy and I was dizzy, so I rested 10 more minutes before surgery started They cauterized with a surgical cautery, and it smelled like burning squid They dissected, had me open and close my eyes dozens of times while doing ptosis correction, then sutured It stung a little during ptosis correction It felt like someone was pulling my eye upward from above They praised me for staying calm and doing well In the middle, they asked which eye line I usually liked better, and I said the right, so while matching the lines, it felt like they loosened the right side and redid it? The director was more meticulous than I expected..! Near the end, they asked again whether I had done the buried method before, and said that after living with natural-looking eyes from the buried method, if I do incisional ptosis correction on protruding eyes, the feeling is different from before, so it is hard to have high satisfaction After it ended, I rested for about 10 minutes with a cold compress, received the after-box, listened to the precautions, and came out I arrived by 3, surgery started at 3:30, and after all the schedules were finished, it was around 5:10 when I came out!
<POD #8> Suture removal Apply ointment for 1 week Can wash face starting tomorrow Makeup, contact lenses, etc. possible after 3 weeks Follow-up visit in 1 week After 2 weeks, depending on the line, since the left line is slightly low, it can be matched by stitching about 1 point Also possible after 2 months
<POD #37> Line correction consultation (A/S with natural adhesion) The double eyelid tissue is still firm, so it needs to become a bit softer Because it has to be pinched very finely, it is better to do it when it is soft Usually takes about 2 to 3 months Visit around mid-July After ptosis correction, the slight difference in how both eyes open would be nice if the eye-opening muscle were adjusted only by length, but that isn’t how it works This part will improve as time passes
<August 11 A/S> The line on my left eye had been low since right after surgery, so only the left eye was done with natural adhesion (left eye in all photos) I didn’t like sedation anesthesia, so I did it with local anesthesia, and they said the pain would be like a slight pinch, but it actually didn’t hurt much at all
<<<Review>>> Originally, after surgery, you inevitably become sensitive because only the surgical area catches your eye, but with any surgery, there is no 100% satisfaction or perfect symmetry, so please don’t think too sensitively and try to relax a little. It is better for your mental health! I had also been satisfied with the very first buried-method surgery, but they said double eyelids often come undone and the shape changes after more than 10 years Expecting another revision in 10 years... I chose The Face because my younger sibling had surgery here and got good results, and compared with other clinics, the price was reasonable Most of all, there is absolutely no A/S cost! It would be nice if the symmetry were perfect in one go, but when thinking about the possibility that it may not be, A/S was a big advantage I recommend it!
