To all the many people still worrying about double eyelid surgery, and also all the many brokers... Hiyuuuu..
For reference, I think I spent about two years just thinking about it.
I originally lived with monolids, but because I got filler in my forehead (I had already been getting filler before that..) I went around using double eyelid tape for 3 years.
I was extremely satisfied with my forehead, and since I plan to keep getting filler going forward, I considered either incisional or non-incisional double eyelid surgery without ptosis correction.
Because I’m over 30, several places recommended incisional surgery, but they said my skin was thin so non-incisional would be okay, and friends who had already had double eyelid surgery, and people in a community who had incisional surgery and regretted it, strongly talked me out of it (especially this part.. I listened a bit more closely to the words of people who regretted it than to success stories.)
So I chose non-incisional surgery.
And I trusted the doctor. What did I trust?
Even right before surgery, he kept shaping the line for me, and even when I went in with my friend, we looked at the line. He asked how it looked. So all of us looked at the line together, and the line the director said was good was very, very, slightly just a tiny bit high.
But I just trusted the director and did it the way he suggested.
And I think it came out more natural.
On the internet, and from the regrets of everyone who had double eyelid surgery, “I should’ve done it when the doctor said to make it a bit higher” I just took that to heart.
And while worrying a lot, I really did give up midway too.
I was honestly so confused, and I went all around Sinsa and Apgujeong, getting hit by the bitter winter wind, and thought, sigh, it’s just double eyelids, why is this such a big deal, I’ll never be able to do it in my life.
There was a time when I gave it all up.
There are too many plastic surgery clinics in Korea.. and because there’s too much information, I think that’s why. I just felt like quitting everything lol
I thought I’d just live my whole life wearing double eyelid tape..
Then suddenly,
one day! I just decided not to let February pass.
I gave up on all the places I’d been recommended, didn’t go to any of the appointments I had booked (I only searched online like crazy!) and just thought it over among the places I had first visited in person.
And I thought, if I can’t decide here, then I’ll never be able to do it. lol
And I chose one place.
Unlike other doctors,
the director looked at my eyes and said, “Ms. XX, your eyes look sharp, so we need to make your image softer...” That’s why. The other directors all just said things like, you can do your eyes like this. Or they would mark it for me. Is it high? Is it low? Just about that. Or the surgical method. They didn’t really say anything special.
But this director talked about my overall image, so I trusted him.
And my friend had it done here too, and it turned out really well, but that depends on the person..
Anyway,
3 years of double eyelid tape. 2 years of indecision. I decided on non-incisional surgery and had surgery on 2017. 2.27.
When I picked up my medicine at a pharmacy near the clinic, I bought 15 packs of pumpkin juice and I think I drank four packs a day lol And I took walks. I deliberately exposed myself to more cold wind, did cold compresses and warm compresses. I want to wear makeup, but even now I’m holding back.
It’s been 10 days now. After one more day, it’ll be day 11. I’m recording photos every single day.
If there’s even the slightest issue, I contact the clinic right away. If I take a photo and send it by text, they call me and make an appointment. Then the director clears everything and waits just for me.
Lololol I always worry a lot lol Then the director always sends me back telling me not to worry,
ㅠㅠ The clinic is seriously super far.. but I go..
Because I’m worried!! Because they’re my eyes!!
Everyone, get pretty eyes.
And since only 10 photos can be uploaded, I ended with the last photo I took yesterday~ One was a duplicate, so I removed it, so 9 photos..
The number in front is the date, and after that I wrote morning, afternoon, daytime, evening.
Have a pretty surgery.
But when can I wear makeup.. I want to blast my face with the shower and just wash my face hard lol I’m going crazy Haa lololol
