I had fat under my eyes since I was young, but I didn't really care about it.
When I turned 30, they started to bulge out and I started to care about them.
In the past, I could hide dark circles well with concealer
. Now, even with concealer, I felt dull for some reason, and the bulging fat under my eyes and the sunken eye sockets were especially noticeable under fluorescent lights or in natural light.
I got consultations at two famous places, and
one of them said I needed to get fat transfer and fat grafting. Just getting fat repositioned would cost around 120, but with fat grafting, it would be well over 250. It costs money to remove the fat and store it, and it costs money to put it in... It all seemed like money, so I put it on hold for now and
went to get consultations at another place.
The director there was very confident, and said that just getting fat transferred would be enough, and that fat grafting wasn't necessary.
Many people come to this hospital for fat repositioning revision surgery, so I got the surgery there.
The surgery was done under local anesthesia, and it hurt to get an anesthetic injection, so I think I was there for about 30-40 minutes after applying an anesthetic cream.
While my face was still cold, they injected an anesthetic around my eyes, and they cut the inside of my eyes with a laser to relocate the fat.
I didn't see it myself, but during the surgery, I felt like they were fixing the fat on my face with threads, and while they
were tying the threads, they were tying knots. My face felt incredibly tense when they were tying the knots. It felt like my face was being ripped off by the threads...
I felt a lot of tension on my face as the surgery was being done.
The other side was done the same way, and I think the surgery took about an hour and a half.
They put something like Duoderm and flesh-colored tape under my eyes, and they dressed them so that they wouldn't swell too much.
On the first day, I thought, "Oh, it's not swollen." But from the second day... I almost looked like a bun man.
Even though I have a high nose bridge, my nose bridge was swollen to the point where it disappeared, and my eyes really became ㅡㅡ.
I got a yellow bruise, and the yellow bruise lasted about two weeks.
I went to work ten days later, and there was no difference in appearance.
However, because the area under my eyes was fixed tightly, I couldn't look down without lowering my head and just looking down. It took a lot of strength in my eyes. My eyes just looked straight ahead and upwards... I couldn't look down.
So when I look at my phone, I usually look down, but since that didn't work, I ended up raising my phone high enough to be in front of my eyes. I
often look down at work, but since that didn't work, I ended up looking up.
People who didn't know I had the surgery (I didn't notice at first glance because it was ten days later)
said it was strange for me to open my eyes. They thought I had the surgery because I could open my eyes.
The discomfort in looking down at my lower eyelids got better after a month, and
my lower eyelids were still hard after that. After about three months, all the hardness under my eyes went away.
I think I still had some residual swelling at three months. I think my puffiness went down for the first 6 months.
Since the fat under my eyes filled in the furrows, my dark circles didn't look that deep. I
also got a little aegyo-sal under my eyes that wasn't visible because of the fat.
But as much as the aegyo-sal grew, wrinkles developed right under the flat aegyo-sal.
But I think everyone who has aegyo-sal has this. I'm just going to draw it out. However,
since it started when I didn't have it, I was a little worried at first.
Now, a year later, I totally recommend it.
I've heard a lot of people say that I look younger, and
my face used to look tired and dull even when I put on makeup, but now it's gone.
After I got the surgery, my mom, my mom's friend, my mom's friend's friend, and my coworker all got the surgery.
Anyway, if you're worried, I hope you get the surgery soon instead of wasting your time worrying!
