Review of upper and lower eyelid surgery at BK Plastic Surgery near Sinsa Station (My own money, my own surgery~ lol) - Warning: Graphic photos!!

I finally ended up getting plastic surgery after thinking about it for years.

My deep inner double eyelids disappeared one day and my eyes became uneven, and starting from the year before last, my eyelids began to sag severely...

If I try to open my eyes wide, only my eyebrows rise, and deep wrinkles are etched onto my forehead.

It was incredibly stressful because everyone I met kept asking if I was tired or sleepy.

Even so, being a real coward and wimp, I thought I would absolutely never be able to have the surgery.

Last year, as a last resort, I got eyebrow and eyeliner tattoos, but my eyelids are sagging so much that it doesn't even show.

In the end, I went to a hospital recommended by an acquaintance last summer for a consultation and made an appointment right on the spot.

 

 

I went there last August to make an appointment. It is BK Plastic Surgery located at Sinsa Station. The lobby and consultation room.

 

They said a deposit of only 50,000 won would suffice just in case I changed my mind, but I insisted on putting down 300,000 won even though it's non-refundable!!

I gave it a boost of determination.

I really only intended to get double eyelids, but as expected, when you consult with the consultation manager or the doctor at the clinic... things never go according to plan. They went out of their way to pinpoint every single flaw in my face and insisted I needed this as well, and I ended up getting upper and lower blepharoplasty, fat repositioning, and even eye shape correction... *shivers*

I never thought the day would come when a knife would be put to my eyes........ Anyway, I made an appointment for the surgery in the winter...

I gently sent my friends along to buy Zero Pay... I do have a slight regret that I didn't buy it when it was 10% back then, but considering it's a big surgery, I figured 7% is better than nothing.

The long-awaited day has arrived.

January 10, 2024

I visited at 2 o'clock, washed my face, changed into a patient gown, and had one last pathetic "before" shot taken.

 

My uneven and droopy eyelids... My inner double eyelids have disappeared~~

 

(Wow!! I can't believe I was photographed looking so pathetic;;;; I didn't want to show you, but..)

When I went into the operating room, there were as many as three people helping me besides the director.

"Here comes the injection to help you relax," they said, but I must have fallen asleep...

When I woke up, they were almost wrapping up the surgery. I think I was muttering to myself and saying random things like, "Did the director arrive?"

Some people said they even felt the scraping sound and sensation of their flesh being cut away...

There is nothing in my memory.

The surgery seemed to take almost an hour and 20 minutes.

I was moved to the recovery room, and when they put a cold compress on my eyes, they really froze, and it felt like I was getting frostbite.

 

 

Giving a bright V sign again when my friend said they were taking a picture lol

 

Anyway, after lying in the recovery room for a little over two hours, I went home!!

I tried to go home looking all brave, wearing a hat and sunglasses, but I'm practically blind without my glasses, and the sunglasses wouldn't even rest on my nose. So, I just wore my regular glasses (which slide down like crazy because my face is swollen) and took the subway home. (Luckily, a friend was with me, so I wasn't too embarrassed.)

I was feeling a bit dizzy and could only see about 40% of the time (it was swollen, and I think I applied ointment), so it was uncomfortable. Anyway, when I got home and took a picture... it was a complete mess.

It's swollen like a sausage and bruised... (no pain, but somewhat uncomfortable)

 

These are the first and second days;;;; It's so scary;;;; I heard some people bleed, but luckily I didn't see any blood~~~

This is a disgusting image;;;;;

The next day, I went and removed the bandage stuck on in an X shape at the top, disinfected it, and put the bandage back on at the bottom...

Since then, I have kept a record of each day...

Cold compresses and a 30-minute walk a day

 

 

Going around so no one knows it’s me~~

 

There is a sports field right behind my house, so I walked a little every day wearing a hat and mask, without worrying about bumping into people.

Couldn't even wash my hair;;; Couldn't even wash my face...... What a filthy woman..........

Whenever I applied eye ointment to the stitches, it seemed to keep seeping in, because my eyes were in a fog for about a week... It got to the point where I was worried I might go blind...

I'm bored to death, but I can't read a book~ and I can't watch YouTube either;;; It's been a really boring week.

I was told to keep my eyes higher than my heart, so even though I dislike using a high pillow, I had no choice but to raise it high and sleep...

I listened to a few novels read aloud on YouTube. Thanks to that, I discovered some interesting books.

Tonight, even if this love disappears from the world... I really enjoyed listening to it, so I ended up borrowing it and reading the whole thing.

 

 

The bruising is shrinking little by little day by day. I even took a picture of the last stitches before getting them removed.

Anyway, a week later, even though it still seemed like there was a lot of swelling, they told me to get the stitches removed.

I had my stitches removed on January 17th at 10 o'clock!!

Wow, the surgery didn't hurt at all, but getting the stitches removed was incredibly stinging and painful. Tears were streaming down my face...

They say it leaves a scar if you remove it too late...

 

 

 

I waited patiently to get my stitches removed, and on my way home, I bought and tried a New Vein to see if it would help with the swelling, but I couldn't tell at all.

 

Anyway, I arrived at the hospital and had the stitches removed again... Wow, as expected, my vision feels much wider now that they're out...

My eyes must have definitely gotten bigger... Now I am battling stinging and dryness.

Today marks exactly two weeks since the surgery... I finally went back to work today.

I still have bruises under my eyes and some slight blood clots here and there... and the swelling hasn't gone down yet...

Still, it is a huge comfort to hear everyone I meet say that I made the right decision to have the surgery and that the lines turned out beautifully.

These are photos of my day by day after the stitches were removed.

 

There is still some bruising around my eyes and some swelling left, but... lol

The swelling isn't going down as fast as others, so it's still very obvious that I had surgery...

It will look more natural once the swelling goes down, right?

Still, my eyes feel less tired now that I'm going to work compared to just staying at home.

Anyway, I'm pretty satisfied... It kind of gives me the courage to think, "Should I try something different next time?"

Doing it again is too scary~~~

How is it? Do you think having the surgery was a good decision?
