On the 26th, I had surgery at xxx Hospital in Gangnam starting at 6 p.m. I had to do it after work, so the surgery was a bit late. Finally I got onto the operating table, and it seemed they started with the double eyelids first. The anesthesia stung a little, but it didn't really hurt. Maybe because the doctor was being so thorough, they stitched once, had me open my eyes wide, open them small, close them, stitch again, burn away the fat sizzling, open, close..... I think I opened and closed my eyes more than 50 times just during the double eyelid part. After the regular double eyelid part was done, when they did the front epicanthoplasty... Ugh.. I gasped. Anesthesia injection without warning into the upper left Mongolian fold area.. Tears started welling up. When they anesthetized the upper area, the lower area was even worse.. After barely getting through that anesthesia, they moved to the right side, and while they were working, all I could think was, should I just not do it... It hurt so much. Maybe the anesthesia didn't work well, because even then, with four stitches left on the lower left side, the anesthesia completely wore off, which was a disaster. I was wondering whether I really had to go through with this, but somehow I made it through... I really barely survived.. After that hard surgery was over and time passed somehow, it's now day 9. At the moment, my eyes look very natural, and if it weren't for the scar where the anesthesia wore off (lower left Mongolian fold area), you'd think I had had surgery years ago. No one even believes it was done last week. Even I feel like my eyes are basically my original eyes now. I'm mostly satisfied with the condition of my eyes, but one thing I regret is that I ended up with uneven eyes. ㅡㅡ^ My right eye is 200% satisfying, but the left eye is a bit off. Well.. the left eye did turn out nicely too, I think, but I wanted an in-out eye, and the left one seems to have become a complete inner line. During the consultation, I told the doctor I really, really hate inner-line eyes and even showed some reference photos, asking for in-out... The doctor said okay, but if it hardens into an inner line like this, will they do a revision surgery for me?? Now I spend every free moment just looking at my left eye and feeling depressed.. I'm so upset because of my left eye..
