As I entered my mid-40s and the dry winter came, maybe because my skin got drier, the area under my eyes became very hollow, so I felt upset every time I looked in the mirror. Then I met former coworkers I hadn’t seen in a long time, and they also noticed how noticeably sunken my under-eye area was and said I looked tired. On my way home, I looked at the surgical progress of a few of my coworkers and thought that if I ever had it done someday, I would go to Director Kim Hyun-soo at Grida Plastic Surgery. I didn’t know that day would come so quickly^^
It has been about one month and one week since I had lower blepharoplasty + fat grafting. I originally took selfies often, but after the surgery, I can take photos without worrying even about angles with light, so it feels like my quality of life has shot straight up^^ When the darkening was severe, I had to cover the sunlight with my hand to look younger in photos, and only after the surgery did I realize that at some point I had been living with the hassle and emotional labor of taking photos without smiling.
Actually, acquaintances I see only occasionally don’t really notice, but people I see every day were surprised even before the swelling went down, saying I looked 10 years younger and asking what happened. My confidence in my appearance has gone up a lot. This is my first facial cosmetic surgery in my life, and even if no one notices it, I myself am very satisfied, my self-esteem has risen, and I feel more vitality in life. Raising three sons, my hollow under-eyes seemed to show the passage of time, and I felt upset every time I looked in the mirror. Now it feels like I rewarded myself, and I really think I did well.
