Before I knew it, I was in my late 40s. Until now, I had no interest at all in my own appearance. I was busy raising kids, working, and taking care of the household, so I lived so busily that I barely had time to look in the mirrorㅠ Recently, I met my elementary school friends for the first time in a long while, and it really made me look at myself again. Everyone said something to me, asking if I was sick, what was wrong with my under-eyes, and saying I looked unwell and tired... Each and every one of those comments was a shock to me. After that, I kept worrying about my under-eyes, and whenever I looked in the mirror, all I could see was my under-eye area. Even when I took the subway or bus, I only looked at other people’s under-eyes. Even when I watched TV dramas, I found myself only looking at the under-eye areaㅠㅠ I thought this couldn’t go on, so I searched online. There was a surgery called under-eye fat repositioning, and I saw that these days even many celebrities get it. I went right away for a consultation, and learned that for under-eye surgery, there is under-eye fat repositioning, but also a procedure called lower blepharoplasty. I received an explanation and diagnosis on the differences between the two surgeries and which one would be more suitable for my under-eye area, and in the end, I had the surgery called lower blepharoplasty. The puffiness under my eyes was one thing, but the skin was also sagging, loose, and wrinkled. I think I had neglected it too much all this timeㅜㅜ When I told my husband, he said he had actually noticed too, but couldn’t bring himself to tell me... He readily gave me permission, saying that if there was a way to improve it and I wanted to do it, I should, so I had the surgery a few days ago. During local anesthesia, it only stung a little when I got the injection under my eyes, but it was bearable. Right after surgery, I was fine, and once the anesthesia wore off and some time passed, I slowly started to feel pain. I’m taking the prescribed medication and diligently doing cold compresses as instructed^^ Thankfully, my under-eye area looks flat and firm, and I’m so happy~
