Pre- and post-operation ptosis: Review after 8 months of upper eyelid surgery

I had never imagined undergoing plastic surgery, but after developing ptosis, the discomfort was beyond words.

I went to the ophthalmology clinic many times, 고민고민 끝에 결국 수술 결정!!

It has been 8 months since the surgery, and I am truly satisfied.

If you are suffering from ptosis, I recommend you not to be afraid and to undergo surgery~

Do you know what ptosis is?

It's when the upper eyelid droops with age, causing discomfort.

 

This is the state of my eyes before surgery. Do they look really sleepy?

 

In my case, at first I wondered if my eyes had become a bit smaller~~ and I lost my double eyelid fold, causing my eyes to become uneven.

After that, I kept feeling like my eyebrows were poking my eyes...

Eyes that always look sleepy and tired visually.

At some point, blisters kept forming in my eyes.

 

When I go to the hospital, they say it's inflammation, but since my eyelid droops without me realizing it, my eyesight worsens and I can't see well.

I kept rubbing my eyes, and it turned out that my cornea was swelling.

The problem is that the already swollen cornea is difficult to revert, so she said it's hard for the blister on the eye to subside.

 

 

 

Frequent eye inflammation causes the eyes to worsen continuously, and due to a lack of strength to lift the eyelids,

Trying to lift my eyes by tensing my forehead deepened the wrinkles on my forehead... Turns out, it was all caused by ptosis.

Still, since surgery is not an easy choice, I really agonized over it.

But your coworker was a man older than me, and he might have had eyelid surgery at the hospital due to ptosis?

They said it wouldn't hurt and the price is affordable, so I was planning to decide after checking that person's progress;;;

The discomfort in my eyes after surgery has definitely improved.

Unfortunately, the eyelid drooping surgery performed at the ophthalmology clinic didn't look very good.

Since I'm going to have surgery anyway, I don't think a low price is that important.

I went to BK Plastic Surgery, which is famous for plastic surgery, and received a consultation and made a reservation right away.

 

 

BK Plastic Surgery located at Sinsa Station. Lobby and consultation room.

 

I finally completed my surgery in January of this year.

Wow, I was really scared, but I didn't feel a single painful symptom, and the surgery was over quickly, haha.

Of course, I went through some difficulties about a month after the surgery, but looking back, I don't remember the hardships at all.

That's why I wondered if people who have plastic surgery tend to keep doing it.

 

 

A scene in the recovery room immediately after surgery

This is what it looks like 2 to 3 days after the first surgery... It looks pretty tough, doesn't it;;;

 

I covered my disgusting eyes and took many walks even in the middle of winter~~

 

 

  

 

 

Just bruised like this, taking medicine to reduce the swelling~ and applying a lot of ointment...

I really struggled for about a month, but after almost three months, it became completely natural.

Now, I don't even know if it's someone I knew a long time ago or if they've had eye surgery.

 

Three people around me have already had surgery after seeing my eyelid ptosis, haha.

Truly resilient people often show no visible signs of recovery even after just a month.

I probably wouldn't have had surgery if it were only for cosmetic reasons.

Currently, since satisfaction is high, if there are people around who are 고민하는 분들 있으면

I just advise you not to be afraid and to proceed with the surgery right away.

 

Not only does ptosis of the eyelid look unattractive cosmetically, but in severe cases, it also worsens.

It seems that many people are complaining about almost eye discomfort.

Not only does my field of vision become narrow and frustrating, but if it leads to eye inflammation like mine,

My eyesight is getting worse, and I keep making a grimace, which is also making my facial expression worse.

 

I also experienced symptoms of glare and dry eyes after the surgery, but now, after eight months,

All of those symptoms have also improved. Most importantly, the best news is that the blister inside my eye has finally dried up.

At the ophthalmology clinic, they said that since my cornea was already stretched, it might not go away, but it finally disappeared.

Since my vision is clearly open and well seen, I hardly need to rub my eyes, and no inflammation occurs in my eyes~~

It seems to have disappeared naturally~

The wrinkles on my forehead that have already appeared... I don't think they can disappear.

These days, since I don't use my forehead when opening my eyes, it seems like the deterioration has definitely stopped.

 

Above all, my eyes look clearer now, and I no longer hear comments that I look tired or sick, which is really great.

People went through surgery to make their eyes so beautiful, but they ask why I wear glasses and tell me to wear contact lenses, lol.

 

 

I took the photos quite hastily today... How do my eyes look??

Doesn't it look very different from my eyes before surgery that I posted at the top? Haha

 

I'm so used to my glasses-wearing life that I just prefer living with glasses on~~

I've been wearing glasses for so many years that I even have marks on my nose bridge...;;

 

Anyway, if your parents or yourself are experiencing discomfort due to ptosis, consider having surgery.

The prices vary greatly from hospital to hospital.

When undergoing surgery, you should visit multiple hospitals for consultations and choose the one that best suits you, right?
