Top: photo from before, when it had been 1 year / Bottom: before the front area was operated on again I had the buried-suture method in my 20s and had natural-looking in-line eyes, but once I got into my 40s, my eyelids sagged, so I often heard people say, “You did have double eyelids?” I searched blogs and found a place famous for double eyelid revision surgery, then went to Sinsa Station for a consultation. That place haha. I heard the director was famous, so I had a consultation. He wasn’t exactly kind, but he spoke confidently and decisively. Also, my eyes have epicanthal folds, and he recommended it, saying he was good at epicanthoplasty restoration. The restoration surgery was a bit expensive, so the surgery cost was 4 million won.. Still, I thought doing it together would make my eyes look more open and the line come out well, so I did it. On the 1-week mark, I went to get the stitches removed, and he said the front of my left eye had come undone and that it would be simple, so he would do it once more. I did that and had all the stitches removed, but the swelling would not go down easily, so after a month I got a swelling injection, then got another one at two months, and also got scar-tissue injections. But the area he touched at the front of my left eye had become an extremely overdone sausage-like eyelid. But he said it was still because of swelling and that we would have to wait until 6 months, so I waited. It got a little better but was almost the same, so when I talked to him about it, he said I had to wait another year.. On top of that, at the outer corners, he removed too little sagging skin, so the double eyelid line was almost invisible, and then said it was because my eyes looked sharp, so he lowered the back part.. So I said the line was not smooth and was forming multiple creases, and he said he would trim just a little more, so he touched the ends of both eyes again. But the sagging skin stayed the same.. Only the front of my eyes has an excessively high line, so now my eye shape looks triangular. Even though it is a clinic that offers aftercare, when they do it, it only gets more ruined and is just exhausting.. For a year and a half, going back and forth to that clinic, I only believed them when they said it was because the swelling had not gone down yet and that we would know once it did. I went back and forth for injections dozens of times, and now that I think about it, I can only feel like I was deceived. I resent myself for rushing into revision surgery too much. I also wonder, would it have turned out well if I had not done the restoration surgery?.. Now I really want to get revision surgery from a truly skilled doctor. I have requested a consultation with the Apgujeong “sewing machine” doctor, but I’m worried too. Please recommend places that are good. My confidence has dropped so much..
