I really thought about it on my own for almost half a year before getting the lower jaw surgery.. Even though I thought about it that much, I thought that if I really wanted to do it, I had to do it!! So I found a hospital right away, called, and made a deposit for the surgery on the day of the consultation!! Since I don’t live in Seoul, I wanted to just get the surgery since I was going to
get the consultation anyway. It’s true that I was going to get the surgery right away because it was a hassle, but I searched for reviews of this hospital on all kinds of plastic surgery platforms. But all the reviews of this hospital were just my style, and even if these reviews were advertisements, they all had no scars.. Even though the reviews didn’t look like they were staged, I didn’t see a single picture of the scar, so I was already drawn to it..!
The consultation didn’t even feel like 5 minutes ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s not that they weren’t sincere, but the director asked if I knew that the surgical method here was a little different, and I said I knew. But when I said I knew, I only heard that the surgical method was different, and I didn’t know how it was different. Anyway, I think the director didn’t give me a long explanation because I said I knew!! But he looked into my eyes for a long time and said, "Hmm," as if he completely figured out what I was looking at, so I just didn't know, but I somehow trusted him. It might be reckless, but that's why we consulted for about 5 minutes, signed right away, and went into the operating room.
I really hate getting shots and I'm really scared, so I was really worried before the surgery, but I was flustered because the surgery didn't hurt at all. I heard it was a one-person hospital, and they woke me up in the middle of the anesthesia and told me to open my eyes. But then I could see the director's face, so I think I was able to have the surgery with peace of mind. It was also nice that after the surgery, while I was lying in the recovery room, the director came to check my face one more time after I finished getting the IV!
But the surgery itself hurt more after the surgery than the surgery itself ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ On the way home, the anesthesia wore off and my eyes felt like they had been hit with a stick, so it was hard to blink. But after taking the prescribed painkiller, I got better quickly, and from the second day onwards, the pain was gone at all.
Because of the stitches, blinking was a bit uncomfortable, so I think I waited forever for the day they would come out.. I just got my stitches out yesterday and I'm so satisfied. They say that lower eyelid surgery heals well, so if it heals a little bit and I regret it, I promised myself in advance that I would definitely get another surgery..
Most of the reviews say that there was no conjunctival edema, but I did!! The second morning was the worst, and it gradually got better after that. But what I'm most satisfied with is that the blood vessels in my whites of my eyes didn't burst..? When I look at other hospitals' lower eyelid surgery reviews, the whites of my eyes are so ugly ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I hesitated to get lower eyelid surgery because I didn't have confidence in looking at my eyes that way.. The reviews here say otherwise, so that's why I chose it!!
I'm so happy that I never felt like I'd have a scar after getting the stitches removed. I've kept the surgery a secret from people around me, so I'm shouting it out here like a bamboo forest, so the post was a bit long. But if you really try it, you'll know that it's not a surgery that will leave a scar..? I wore a hat right after getting the stitches removed and met a friend, and he didn't recognize me. I'll definitely do it again if I go back ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'm happy
. Lastly, I want to emphasize this, but they do a very natural job here!! But my thought is that even if you rip it all apart, it'll heal back up to some extent, and the more you tear it, the more it's sure to leave a scar. So, even if it closes the same way, I don't want a scar to form, whether I get another surgery or not.
