For the public good of those who are worried about double eyelid surgery, I am writing this again.
I am someone who failed to get double eyelid surgery about two and a half months ago.
My eyes were originally asymmetrical, one side was higher, and
the angle of the line in front of my eyes was not smooth.
The hospital where I had my second surgery tried to solve this by opening up the front and connecting the line, but it went wrong and the front part looked torn. Since I live overseas, I got both surgeries overseas and thought that plastic surgery was done in Korea,
so I gave up on getting a second surgery and waited. About 7 years after my second surgery, I had a chance to go to Korea recently. I was so foolish to think that anyone in Korea, especially in Gangnam, would be able to get eye surgery done well. The weather was so hot this summer and my house was far away, so it was hard to go out and about. This was also my mistake for not being careful.
I sold my hands every day for about 3 months and read YouTube videos of each hospital almost thoroughly. I even had a KakaoTalk consultation beforehand, and
one hospital in particular caught my eye. The consultation was long and kind even when I went for a face-to-face consultation.
But now that I think about it, I just drew the common line and looked in the mirror. They didn't even show me.
I just told them what I was dissatisfied with and what I was pursuing, and I think I thought the doctor would take care of it since Korea is an advanced country in plastic surgery.
I wanted to lower the line and restore the front incision to have natural and gentle eyes, and I was recommended a double-line incision surgery. They said that there would be two incision lines, but they would be almost invisible over time, and I wasn't informed of any other side effects.
After the surgery, the existing adhesion in one eye didn't come off, so the higher side of the asymmetry was set as the high line. The front incision was severely restored, so the front was blocked and connected to the high line, so the bangs became more bent. Naturally, the horizontal length was shortened too much.
At first, the hospital said it was because of the swelling, and the adhesions were resolved well, and the surgery was not a problem.
After that situation continued for more than a month, only then did they say that the adhesions hadn't come off (they didn't say that they couldn't resolve them, but that the previous two surgeries were interfering with the adhesions). If they were going to blame the previous surgery now, I don't know why they said I could pay a high reoperation fee and get a reoperation.
Anyway, I asked for a refund. The hospital refused, saying that it could be corrected with fat grafting.
I didn't have much time left and my eyes were in such a state that I couldn't go about my daily life, so I had no choice but to get the correction.
I was very nervous, but I had no choice.
As a result, the first fat grafting failed, and I had another one a few days later. I had to go under
general anesthesia twice, and the second time I used frozen fat. As a result, I could still feel the fat in my eyes like a lump, and there was fat stuck in the shape of an earthworm between the existing line and the new line. I regretted everything, so
I consulted with a reconstruction hospital, and they said that the structure of my eyes was difficult in the front. So they recommended that a semi-out would have a better surgical result than an inline and would suit my face better.
When I had the second surgery here, I wanted a gentle inline. The doctor said that an inline was possible without any problems,
and if I had received a more customized consultation, they would have told me about the side effects and disadvantages of the results, and if they had recommended a more natural look that suited my eyes better, I
requested a refund again, but they only gave me a partial refund, and said that I wouldn't get a refund if I wrote a slanderous comment, so I gave up on the refund and became a public servant. For the sake of my mental health, I chose to share my story.
What a mess. You gaslighted patients by saying that the surgery was fine and blaming it on the swelling, so why are you worried about slanderous comments about a surgery that did not have any problems? In the first place, you said that you would apply the event as a condition for leaving a surgery review, so now why aren't you allowed to write an honest review?
And I'm not even sure if what I received was part of the event
. I received 5 million won for a double-line incision revision surgery, epicanthoplasty, and eye correction. Was it really part of the event?
