It has already been almost 6 months since my eye surgery~ I had posted a review once back at the 2-week mark, but at that time the swelling had not gone down much yet, and even to my own eyes the line looked a little thick, so it didn't feel fully settled. So this time I want to leave another review by comparing before-and-after photos after more time has passed~My eyes have always looked sleepy, so every time I took a photo I had to strain them a lot.. If I relaxed my eyes when taking pictures, they would come out looking half-closed, but I also didn't want eyes that looked obviously surgical, so I focused most on getting a natural but clearer result and ended up getting it done at E-Dition Plastic Surgery~If you look at the pre-op photos, the difference shows more clearly when you crop and compare each eye separately. Before surgery, the line looked like it was overlapping in several layers Rather than having a single clean double-eyelid line, the line looked different depending on my condition that day, and because I didn't have enough strength to open my eyes, it didn't feel like my pupils were clearly visible. So compared with looking at my whole face, if you zoom in on each eye separately, you can see better why I was deliberating about surgery.. In this before-and-after ptosis correction comparison too, what bothered me most before surgery was that the line looked messy and the eyes looked heavy, and after surgery that part feels much more organized, so I'm satisfied~I had incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty together, and from the consultation onward I kept saying I wanted a natural result. Even during the consultation at E-Dition Plastic Surgery, what I was most worried about was, “What if the epicanthoplasty looks obvious? What if the incisional line looks too strong?” But Director Han Dae-hee explained that he would only make the necessary amount of widening, and that for the ptosis correction too he would adjust it so my eyes would become clearer without overdoing it, which put me at ease~ When I wrote the 2-week review, I really did leave the review, but inside I was looking in the mirror every day Would the swelling go down more? Would the line stay too strong? Those thoughts kept running through my head. At that time, the epicanthoplasty area still seemed a little noticeable, and the incisional line hadn't fully thinned out yet, so I thought it would need more time. But now that almost half a year has passed, it has definitely become much more natural~ Comparing the before-and-after ptosis correction photos again, you can see that the several-layered line and the heavy-looking eyes from before surgery have decreased, and the line has settled into one clean line after surgery.The part I’m happiest about after surgery is that my eyes became clearer without looking overly changed~ I wanted my original eyes to simply look a little more defined, rather than having flashy eyes, and now it's exactly that, so I like it. I don't have to intentionally strain my eyes like before when taking photos, and even when I'm bare-faced my eyes look less blurry, so I'm very satisfied.When you compare the before and after ptosis correction, before surgery the upper part of the eyes looked compressed and the line looked overlapped, so it felt stuffy, but now the inner corner area opens naturally and overall my impression feels brighter.Especially if you look at the photos with just one eye, the difference is even more visible.. In full-face photos it may just seem like “it looks clearer!”, but when comparing only the eyes, you can really see how many layers the line had before surgery and how much more organized it became after surgery. So for this review, I think it would be good if people looking at the before-and-after ptosis correction photos compare both the pre-op line state and the post-op settled line together. I personally am even more satisfied because the epicanthoplasty wasn't made obviously wide, but was adjusted only enough to clean up the stuffy part:)At first I worried that recovery might take a long time because it was incisional, but looking back, as long as you don't get too impatient about the early swelling going down, it seems okay. Compared with the 2-week mark, once almost 6 months had passed, it really felt like my own eyes.. After surgery at E-Dition Plastic Surgery, at first I kept staring at the mirror wondering when the swelling would go down, but now it just feels naturally suited to my face, which I like. People around me also say it doesn't look obviously like I had eye surgery, but rather that my impression has become brighter, so I think it matched the direction I wanted~ From my own experience paying for it myself, I think the important thing in eye surgery is not simply making the line bigger, but doing only as much as is needed to match your own eye conditionFor people like me whose pre-op line was layered and whose eyes looked sleepy, when looking at before-and-after ptosis correction photos, I think it's good not only to look at the line height but also at how the eye-opening strength and the stuffiness at the inner corner were improved~I deliberately made a careful decision because I wanted a natural result, but now that it's been about 6 months, I think I made the right choice~ After surgery with Director Han Dae-hee at E-Dition Plastic Surgery, my eyes became clearer, so taking photos is much more comfortable and my impression looks brighter than before, which makes me satisfied:)
