I had a hidden double eyelid, but I had a lot of fat in my eyelids, so it was not visible at all, and both eyelid tapes and eyelid glue did not work on my eyes. What I usually heard was that I looked sleepy. Or like I was glaring at people.
After a lot of 고민, on my friends' recommendation I got a consultation at ㅅㄹ Plastic Surgery in Incheon, and on the very first consultation day I could not even go around to compare places, so I just booked it and went ahead with it; And they said they absolutely do not do sedation anesthesia there. Only local anesthesia.
In the end, I am satisfied. Very satisfiedㅎㅎ
I had incisional double eyelid surgery + fat removal + ptosis correction, and I wondered if I needed front and back canthoplasty, but they said I did not need it. I do not know what exactly it was, but they said I needed upper canthoplasty, so (I wonder if they meant removing fat) I just trusted the doctor and had everything done. A few people said my eyes are long(?)
I went in without researching anything at all, and I did not even know about out-fold, in-fold, and so on. I was foolish; one week before the surgery I looked things up and came back to ask what style would suit me;
I chose an in-out line, and now I am living a much easier life than before.
I think the swelling took about a year to fully go down.
I have photos I took twice a week, but they are on my computer, so I will upload them later when I organize them.
Still, everyone has different preferences and styles, so please think it through enough before doing it. Do not go in like I did, knowing literally nothing and just following a sudden impulse ㅠㅠㅠ I feel like I used up most of my lifetime luck here.
