It has been about two weeks since I had the buried-suture procedure. Overall I’m extremely satisfied, and I think I did well by getting it done here. I went to about five consultations, and four places said I didn’t need ptosis correction, and four places said buried sutures would be possible, but Kara said we should do buried sutures without ptosis correction. The line I wanted was a low line, so they said it would be good to do an epicanthoplasty, but it would still be okay not to. Like in other reviews, the doctor is the kindest. That doesn’t mean the staff are unfriendly, though. After the consultation, I felt like they hardly did any hard selling. More like, if you want to do it, trust us and go ahead. I wanted surgery quickly, and because it was so famous I also didn’t want to go to a place that does a huge number of surgeries in a day, so I chose here. When the surgery date is set, you have to transfer a 200,000 won deposit, but I said I wanted to just pay by card on the day, and they allowed it. Another thing I felt during surgery was that, compared to consultations at other hospitals, they don’t treat patients with excessive deference or anything, but they do take care of everything that needs to be done. The doctor is really kind. I wanted a thin in-line, but the doctor said that would not give them any sense of accomplishment, so they suggested an in-out line instead. I hesitated, but went with it. The surgery was under local anesthesia, and if I relaxed, it was manageable. I consciously tried to keep my body as relaxed as possible so I wouldn’t get bruised. During the surgery, the doctor said lots of funny and nice things, so I stayed calm. After the surgery, I couldn’t open one eye properly. I lay down for 30 minutes and then came out, and there was almost no bruising or anything, but my eyes felt uneven. I had the surgery on Thursday and went Saturday to remove the stitches, and they did it in 10 minutes with no wait. When I asked then, “It won’t be uneven, right?” the doctor said both eyes were designed exactly the same, so not to worry. In the end, the doctor was right (of course the two eyes can’t be exactly identical, but the difference is not noticeable). Not even a week later, everyone I met said I did well. Now, two weeks later, the people I meet keep saying I should have done it sooner. Even I think my eyes look natural and pretty, so I feel happy!! I’m glad I chose this hospital well :)
