It’s so hard every time I look in the mirror.. When I look in the mirror, I sigh, so I try not to look much
First surgery. Buried-suture double eyelid + fat removal above the eyes
Second surgery. The buried sutures came undone, so I had buried-suture revision again + posterior canthoplasty
Up through the second surgery, I had it done at a clinic right in front of Gangnam Exit 10. It was before they remodeled, the director was kind, and an older girl I knew was working there as a coordinator at the time, and she had also had surgery at that clinic, so I got a recommendation.
Third surgery. The buried sutures came undone again, so I thought the previous clinic wouldn’t work, and I searched for and went to a clinic near Sinsa Station that did no ads or promotion at all and specialized in eye revision surgery (a clinic people only find through word of mouth, and recently a few celebrities also had eye revision surgery there They’re singer-celebrities everyone would know if I said their names) They said eye surgery here starts at 3 million won Absolutely no discounts, and their attitude was basically “if you don’t want to do it, don’t” That’s how passionate the doctor was about surgery
They recommended an incisional method, and said my eye line was too thick, so when people looked at me, all they saw was the double eyelid I wanted the line to be thick and glamorous, but the doctor said those eyes look tacky..
So I reflected the doctor’s opinion and thought this would be my last eye surgery
Incision + ptosis correction + upper epicanthoplasty I got what they recommended. I also wanted posterior canthoplasty, but they said posterior canthoplasty would be an additional 1 million won
The total was already over 4 million won, so I left out the posterior canthoplasty and had the surgery
Fourth surgery. The surgery I thought would be perfect at the previous clinic ended up with the double eyelid being too thin, so as I gained a bit of weight, the line got buried, and at the front of the line, layered lines like Mongolian folds formed
It was so stressful, and when I went to the clinic that did the incision, they were so rude and said eyes like that look like natural, unoperated eyes these days and that it was a good thing. If I wanted, they said they could use buried sutures only at the front to hold it so it wouldn’t wrinkle. So I was going to do it at that clinic, but they wouldn’t do it at the time I wanted.. If I wanted to do it, I had to wait 3 months..?
When I first had surgery there, I signed the contract and did it within a week, but it was so inconvenient, rude, and made me angry, so after looking into other clinics,
I went back to the clinic where I first had my eyes done The director was kind, was a specialist, and it was a clinic that had continued operating in that location for over 10 years, so I trusted them and went
But maybe they had made a lot of money, because the clinic had been remodeled, took up an entire floor, and even had a dermatology department added.
So I explained what had happened before and had surgery there (the price had gotten a lot more expensive..)
Buried-suture double eyelid + posterior canthoplasty + lower canthoplasty (I only wanted posterior canthoplasty, but they said I had to do lower canthoplasty together, and that they don’t accept posterior canthoplasty alone The manager kept pushing it so hard and said they’d give me a discount, so I did it)
For 3 months after surgery, it was really okay, but now one side of my eye has become strange, so I’m in a situation where I need revision surgery again.. At 6 months, I went to the clinic and asked why the line was like that and why the outer corner of one eye was like this, and they said, “It’s pretty, why are you being like that? If you don’t like this, you need to lift the skin with a facelift.” That’s what they said..? They told me to pay and have surgery again..
The clinic got bigger, the people became rude, and the director is all disappointing too.. When I was getting the surgery consultation, they were so understanding and endlessly kind
After being rejected like that, I’ve been living depressed for half a year now
I would have to get a fifth surgery for it to be easier to look in the mirror than it is now, but I really don’t want to look..
Really, really.. is there nowhere that can do eye revision surgery well? Seriously It’s so hard..
