I underwent revision surgery to improve droopy eyelids, occasional skin irritation around the scarred area, incision line scarring, makeup getting caught in deep double eyelids, conjunctival eversion, and a harsh-looking impression. I learned about this hospital, known for specializing in revision surgery, through an introduction from someone around me, and after reading the numerous questions in the cafe, the director’s thoughtful answers, and the reviews, I decided that I should have the surgery here. I had the surgery the same day right after the consultation. In fact, I did not get consultations at other hospitals. I had such strong trust in this hospital that I thought I would probably choose this place even if I consulted several others. But now I sometimes wonder if I should have at least gotten other consultations. I wonder how it would have been if I had kept more possibilities open and consulted with Director Kim Garam. I am satisfied with the surgery, but I think I myself did not think things through enough^^ I wanted epicanthoplasty as well because I did not like the appearance of my Mongolian fold, but I was told it was not possible because the space between my eyes was narrow, and since lateral canthoplasty was possible, I ended up having lateral canthoplasty, ptosis correction, and an incisional procedure. Before, it was hard because I could hear all the sounds of the incision, but with sedation anesthesia, I did not have that kind of fear. I do not think I fell completely asleep, but it felt like I had taken a trip to dreamland.. Anyway, it felt a little different from when I had sedated endoscopy haha Throughout the procedure, I opened and closed my eyes and sat down and stood up while they kept checking the line, and when it was time for the lateral canthoplasty, they gave me sedation anesthesia again, which I really appreciated. Of course, I think I woke up quickly though.. It even seemed like they undid the stitched area and then stitched it again. Later, the anesthesia wore off, so I had to get more anesthesia as well. I think that was the hardest time for me. I kept telling myself in my heart that they were doing it again to make it prettier, and I endured it by pinching my own skinㅠ I think the surgery took about two and a half hours. After applying a cold compress and staying in the recovery room for about 20 minutes, I was not dizzy, so I went home early. I think the swelling was worst on the second day. I wrapped the cooling pack the hospital gave me in gauze and used it as a cold compress, but for the first 3 days, a little blood got on the gauze and made it stick, so I was a little scared every time I removed it. So I separated it as slowly as possible. Photo 1 (Day 3) By the time I started using warm compresses, the gauze no longer stuck to my eyes, so I was able to do the compresses much more comfortably. By the end of the first week, the swelling had noticeably gone down, and once the stitches were removed, I was able to go outside without wearing a hat. Photo 2- <One week, the day the stitches were removed> Photo 3- Week 2 There is still some swelling, so it is uncomfortable when I open my eyes because the part where the eyelid overlaps bothers me. Also, the end line is different on the left and right sides and is not very neat, but the director told me it would improve over time, so I am waiting comfortably. Today, while receiving scar laser treatment, I asked many questions, and everything was explained so well. I also felt good because the director said I looked much younger haha The director’s skill is one thing, but because they speak in a way that puts the patient at ease and because I have faith that even if the surgical result is not good, they will take responsibility and provide aftercare, I think I made a good choice in selecting this hospital.
