My mom is in her 50s, and she has always been the type who really hates it when surgery looks obvious. You know how, when you see middle-aged people who have had upper/lower blepharoplasty or double eyelid surgery, it often looks too artificial… That was what she was most worried about.
At first, we went for a consultation at another clinic that we found through YouTube. They did explain things well, but neither my mom nor I felt like, “This is the place.” So I kept searching through this community and other forums, and found Jung Woonggi Plastic Surgery, so we booked a consultation.
Before the consultation, what we emphasized the most was absolutely making it look natural. My mom kept saying that she did not want double eyelids that looked too thick or an eye shape that looked pulled. The director looked at her eyes and said that rather than making a big change, it would be better to improve the sagging and tired-looking impression while preserving her original eye shape as much as possible, and that really gave us confidence.
In the end, she had upper and lower blepharoplasty + double eyelid surgery done together. At first, there was swelling and bruising, so we were a little startled, but as the swelling went down week by week, her eyes looked so much cleaner. What I liked most was that it did not look overly done. It just looks like her eyes have become clearer and her impression has become brighter, so the people around her say she looks more refined rather than asking where she had surgery.
My mom is also very satisfied. She says it feels much more comfortable now because her eyelids do not feel heavy like before, and when she looks in the mirror, she says she looks less tired, so she likes that. I think for middle-aged eye surgery, a natural look is really the most important thing, and in that sense, we are very satisfied.
