Before <before surgery with thin, ambiguous lines> After <after surgery with a refined look!> After <after surgery with a refined look!>Why I had surgery even though I already had double eyelids - Simply put, the line was so thin that if I put on even slightly heavier makeup, the line would get completely hidden - For someone like me who likes dressing up, whether it’s clothes or appearance, it felt too natural - In the pre-op photos, I had my eyes wide open, but in everyday life people often said I looked sleepy or like my upper eyelids were sagging
What I wanted to change after surgery - I wanted a refined in-out~semi-out style - No canthoplasty xx I only wanted the double eyelid line changed, so I excluded clinics that suggested excessive canthoplasty - I wanted to fix my sleepy-looking eyes (especially when I’m bare-faced, it looked even worse)
I clearly decided what I wanted and went to consultations, and if anything didn’t suit me even a little, I crossed it off the list,, lol I thought cosmetic surgery should be done at a clinic that matches me as close to 100% as possible without compromise! (Looking back, that was probably the best decision) I visited 4 clinics, and I kept debating between one place with no upselling that could give me the line I wanted, and one clinic where the consultation was short but I liked the line they suggested..... I also got advice from friends who had cosmetic surgery, but no matter how I thought about it, I’d still need to go back and forth to the clinic for follow-up checks after surgery, so I felt it would be better to do it at the place where the consultation was also good. So I had the surgery at Saekim, the first place I visited!
When I went in for the surgery and came back, I went alone. Since it was an incision surgery plus eye correction together, the swelling was pretty significant until the stitches were removed, but after the stitches came out, I felt the swelling went down quickly! But that might also be because I took care to do cold/warm compresses... drank the pumpkin juice and swelling-reducing tea the hospital gave me separately... and walked whenever I had time Personally, I think it’s good to do as much as you can on your own after surgery. If you don’t have time for a walk, just get off 1 or 2 stops before home after work and walk the rest of the way!
Honestly, I already had double eyelids, so people around me asked why I was doing it.. but now everyone says I did the right thing. I can do all the makeup styles I originally liked without having to tone anything down, so I’m very satisfied myself too!!
To succeed with cosmetic surgery - Decide what style you want - Check whether the director can actually achieve that style - Decide how you’ll take care of yourself after surgery and how you’ll live, then get the surgery! I recommend that
