I had it done 6 years ago, when I was in college. After getting too many contour injections, my cheekbones and eyes started to sag, so even at a young age, the area around my eyes already looked like someone in their 40s.
I had it done at a clinic near Apgujeong Station, and they said fat repositioning could recur, so I thought I might as well just remove it.
Sedation anesthesia for 30-40 minutes? I really hate sedation anesthesia. I kept having nightmare-like dreams. The day before, I had watched a Korean thriller movie about a veterinarian who was a serial killer, and nightmares where I became the victim kept overlapping with reality, so I kept saying, Ah~~ save me~~ save me~~ things like that. I was so embarrassed afterward. Anyway, I was dizzy, and sedation anesthesia was so painful for me that I'll never do it again.
At first after surgery, it doesn't swell much, but the bruising travels downward like crazy, even to the cheeks. It lasts 1-2 weeksㅜㅜ During this time, it's hard to go out. Even a mask won't cover it.. Fortunately, it was during vacation.
After that, I was completely satisfied. Now, 6 years later, I'm in my 30s, and at least when it comes to my eye area, I live without any worries.
If you're going to do it anyway, I think doing it sooner is better.
I don't think the fat removal method is bad. I'm living proof after more than 6 years. Even now, among all the procedures and surgeries I can think of, I count it as one of the best things I've done!!!
But when I looked up the clinic I went to, it seems to have gone out of business or disappeared..ㅠㅠ It was decent though.
