Before I got married, I had my first surgery by incision in Seomyeon, Busan, and aside from the sausage-like double eyelids, my eyes ended up uneven with a 1:2 ratio. The clinic closed down a year later, and I lived under enormous stress. After getting married and giving birth, I had revision surgery at a plastic surgery clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul.
Originally, the distance between my eyebrows and eyes was very wide, but after two incisional surgeries, the gap is now much narrower.
After the revision surgery, the asymmetry improved a lot, but my eyes won’t close. It has already been 17 years since the revision surgery. Apparently it has gotten much better. According to my husband. Because I sleep with my eyes open, maybe my dry eye syndrome became severe, and I ended up needing reading glasses already in my mid-40s.
The revision surgery cost 4 million won. At the time, it was a really large amount of money, but I was desperate.
Why did they do double eyelid revision surgery under general anesthesia? I still can’t understand it. I decided on the surgery trusting only the face of the doctor who appeared on TV very often, but honestly, I don’t know who actually operated on me haha And during the consultation, even though it was around 11 o’clock, the doctor smelled strongly of alcohol, as if he had drunk a lot the night before.
My daughter is now in middle school. Through my two experiences with double eyelid surgery, I will absolutely not just tell her, “Do whatever you want.”
