I spent a long time 고민 whether I should get double eyelid surgery or upper eyelid surgery. But I was so worried that an incision would leave a scar, so I kept putting it off for years. Even though the skin on my upper eyelids was sagging down and completely covering my double eyelids, I still couldn’t make the decision easily.
Then, through an older acquaintance’s introduction, I had a consultation with Director Choi Yo-an. He told me that because my eye-opening strength was weak, I seemed to be using my forehead without realizing it. After hearing that, I understood why my forehead always felt tired. The surgery was a brow lift, and he said that if it was done using a sub-brow lift method, I could worry less about scarring, so I finally made up my mind.
After actually getting it done, the scar healed over time to the point where it really wasn’t noticeable, and what surprised me most was how much easier it became to open my eyes. It’s nice that I look prettier, but it also feels like my daily life has become more comfortable.
If there are people who keep putting it off because of incision scars, I recommend at least getting a consultation. Don’t spend years just worrying like I did 😅
