<There was only one operating room, and it had a very clean, white-toned dental-clinic vibe. When I lay down on the operating table, they covered me with a blanket, put a drape over my face, and inserted an IV needle in my arm. I’m usually weak with things like anesthesia, so I should have gotten sleepy about 30 seconds after they put it in, but the doctor came in and I still wasn’t falling asleep, so I panicked. Turns out the medication hadn’t gone in yet lolololol. After the doctor came in and sat down in the chair, they said, “The medication is going in now~,” and suddenly an Instagram-famous hot-place cafe opened up in front of my eyes lolololololol. The day before, I had gone to a trendy cafe with my dad, so when I was under the influence of the medication, I kept seeing buildings like huge cafes. It felt really peaceful. The funny thing is, because of the medication, I had a cafe scene in front of my eyes, but the doctor kept talking to me from above my head like I was receiving some divine revelation lolololol. But because I was anesthetized, even speaking was hard. It felt like when I was little and sleeping, and my mom and dad talked to me, so I had to answer but I was sleepy. The doctor talked to me a lot, and I answered everything then, but I don’t remember now. The only thing I kind of remember is me lamenting, “When I looked at reviews from the previous clinic, it wasn’t like this, but only mine failed...” and I remember the doctor answering that too lololololol. Ugh, I could die of embarrassment >< On the first day, after I got home, there was a little bleeding, so I wiped it with a cotton swab. On days 1 and 2, it didn’t swell much, so I was like, “Oh~ this is okay,” but on day 3, I looked like I had been K.O.’d by a boxer, so I didn’t leave the house lolololol. My double eyelids weren’t swollen, but the area around my eyes was completely puffed up. My aegyo-sal and under-eyes were swollen, so I won the aegyo x3 event, sh*t. I was shocked and walked 4,000 steps a day for 3 days, and from day 5 it became acceptable to look at >< The bruising evolved from blood-red bruising ——> yellowish. Even then, the swelling under my eyes was still plenty. The day before getting my stitches removed, I took a photo with the rear camera, and I could see 85% of how I looked before my eyes got ruined, so I was really happy. Of course, there was still some bruising >< I got my stitches removed today. My appointment was at 3:30, but I ended up getting to the clinic around 2:15. They removed them right away without waiting, and they did it so well that it didn’t hurt at a~~~ll. After they took them out, I opened my eyes and was surprised because the doctor was there lolololol. The doctor said the wound healed well and it turned out well, so I felt relieved. They said I can come back in 3 months. +) A video of me closing and opening my eyes was taken with a folder phone> My surgery was scheduled for 10, but I had to be at the clinic by 9:40 in the morning, so I went to the clinic. As soon as I got there, I changed clothes, washed my face, and I think I saw the doctor almost right away. In the consultation room, they explained again the surgery I would be having today, and while showing the wannabe eye photos I had shown during the previous consultation, they said my double eyelid would probably show a bit more than that. And they drew lines on my eyes with some kind of pen, but said those lines were just preliminary and they would draw them again in the operating room, so not to worry.
Clinics mentioned
김두기 Why did my post come out so messy... lol Anyway, thank you to everyone who cheered me on. The mucous membrane came down from about 120 degrees before the revision —-> to about 90 degrees now. I think it’ll come down more with time. I’ll write another review in 6 months. I ordered scar ointment right away yesterday. I want the rest of the bruising to go away quickly and see my friends again After my eyes got totally ruined, I couldn’t make plans with my friends, but now I want to wear makeup again and go hang out lol
김두기 [@KimDugi] Ah, if I fix this area a bit, I think it’ll look pretty: 3/5 recommend I can’t possibly fail any more than this!! 5/5 recommend, highly highly recommend
꽁치집사 lololol
그랑동그랑 Did you have the two-line technique to lower the double eyelid? Thank you so, so much for the review! I have so many questions...
김두기 Yeah, yeah!! At the previous clinic, they cut out too much skin, so I had the two-line technique
그랑동그랑 [@KimDugi] I have a lot I want to ask, like whether the line clearly became lower, how the scarring is, and so on.... Would you recommend doing the two-line technique here to lower the line?! If revision surgery fails, it would really be absolutely awful, and I’m so scared I’m agonizing over it....
김두기 [@GeurangDonggeurang] The line was definitely lower from the moment they showed me right after the surgery. It’s day 8 now, but my eyes look like how they did before they got ruined by the second surgery, just slightly swollen like after eating ramyeon!! As for scars, when I watched videos of people who had surgery here, they faded after 1 year. If it’s just simple sausage-like swelling, there are many clinics to choose from, so rather than saying it’s an absolute must, I’d say it was good because I had it done!! For people here with functional issues like me, I really want to tell them to definitely go for a consultation
그랑동그랑 [@KimDugi] I’m most jealous that the line got lower... I want to lower mine to the level of an inner double eyelid or almost no double eyelid, but you didn’t lower yours that much, right?! I also have mucosal eversion, sigh... I thought if I did the two-line technique, the distance between my eyes and brows would get a bit farther, and the thickness of my upper eyelids might be reduced a bit. Can I ask how that part is!?
김두기 [@GeurangDonggeurang] Yeah, I’m a little short on skin, so I don’t think I can become completely no-double-eyelid, and I think it’ll end up around an inline crease. My upper eyelids were never thick, so I don’t know about that, but the distance between my eyes and brows did get farther lolololol

행복해질것 [@Haengbokhaejilgeot] Oh, and did it settle into an inline crease the way you wanted?? I was looking up two-line-technique scars too, and I saw a photo in a community of someone whose result was clean without scarring (they had it done at ㄱㄴㅅㅇ!!). That person said they took medication for capsular contracture prevention, the kind people take after nose surgery and breast surgery. I don’t know if it was luck or thanks to their skin type, but you should also look into things like montelukast or Rizaben. And before you write your 6-month review, if you think of it from time to time, I’d be grateful if you update the scar progress hahaha, if it’s not a burden!
김두기 [@행복해질것] In the morning, when it’s swollen, it looks like a very low in-out line, but in the afternoon when the swelling goes down, it goes into an inline crease. Thanks for the scar ointment recommendation!! I’ll post updates once in a while

김두기 [@밍꿍쓰] IQ, VN, Lovelyan. Especially at VN, the director was kind, the price was attractive, and there was little scarring, so if it hadn’t been for the mucosal eversion, I think I would have done it there (but the consultant was extremely bad)

김두기 [@cykshy] I have protruding eyes that even show up as bulging eyes in photos
다아아아앙러 How’s the line?? Is it on the high side?? They told me they’d make my line high, but when I look at reviews, the front part is all low
김두기 [@다아아아앙러] I wanted an inline crease, so I only brought inline photos. If you’re worried the line might come out low, try going for a consultation at a hospital that sets the line higher

김두기 [@페이뿡] I only did two-line release, and I agreed to share on the website and YouTube, so I got -50, for a total of 350!!

해픈달 By any chance, how long had it been since your previous surgery on the eyes with mucosal eversion..? It’s so similar to mine.. Could it be the same hospital..
김두기 [@해픈달] I had it done in January this year, got terrible mucosal eversion, and totally failed
