As I entered my 40s, my eyelids gradually started drooping, so my double eyelid lines were completely hidden, and the fat under my eyes made the area look shadowed. After worrying about it, I had surgery. I had upper blepharoplasty and under-eye fat repositioning done together by Dr. Hwang In-seok, and now that quite a bit of time has passed, they’ve settled in so well that they almost feel like my own eyes.
Honestly, before, I thought it was just because of my condition that day, but since my eyelids felt heavy, I kept opening my eyes using my forehead, and my impression always looked tired. During the consultation, the doctor said that rather than being overly ambitious, we should remove only the drooping parts to suit my current face and smooth out the contours under my eyes. I think it was the right choice to go in that direction.
Now that the swelling has all gone down, my double eyelid lines don’t look artificial and look natural, like my original eye shape~ Most of all, opening my eyes feels much lighter than before, and I’m most satisfied that my field of vision feels clearer. The bulging under my eyes has also become smooth, so my complexion looks brighter, and I almost never use concealer anymore.
In the beginning, when there was swelling, I worried a lot and wondered if I had done it for nothing, but now that time has passed, I think doing them together was a choice that suited me well~ In your 40s, I think this kind of neat, refined improvement is more important than an overly dramatic change~ I’m leaving this in case it helps anyone who, like me, is worried because their eyes look heavy.
