Hi there again!
I'll share my experience with double eyelid surgery for those interested in doing it themselves~
For me, I only went to consult Teuim PS cause the pictures on their website was pretty much what I was looking for...
Walked in on a weekday early May but Dr. Kwon was not there, so they booked me the next day.
Lee (I forgot her full korean name
) was my consultant and the sweeeetestttt girl ever! I'm from Canada and she talked to me about how she wanted to move there in the future, etc
She also held my hand when I was getting my nose filler (that hurt!)
Anyway Dr. Kwon came in and while his english isn't very good, I found it enough to get my message across. But I brought lots of pictures, and used pretty basic words ("medium size!!!")
Got kind of worried at times since all he did was nod...LOL but he seemed very confident as to knowing what kind of fold would look the best on me. I had first requested something smaller, but then he said a bigger fold would look better.
Didn't get to talk to him for that long I think...perhaps 20 minutes? Dr. Kim came in after (I also got a filler injection on my nose and he's the one who does that) and his english was fluent, no problems there.
So what I ended up getting was: full incisional double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, magic epi, and filler on the nose. I'll double check on the price they gave me, can't remember atm..
For the shots on the eyes, I was out for those (they injected the sleeping drug through the IV drip) and I had the weirdest dream ever. Thought the surgery was done when I woke up...but when I asked a nurse just curtly replied "no. 5 minutes". Man the dream definitely felt longer than just 5 minutes...
Dr. Kwon asked me to open my eyes a lot, and I guess he was at good ease cause he started singing along to the song playing in the background...LOL
The take-home bag included an ice/hot pack, some ointment for the eyes, q-tips/cloth, and pain killers.
Slight stinging right after the surgery, but only a dull buzz for the days after. Stitches removed on the 7th day.
My fold came out to be very very natural, most of my friends haven't been able to tell (with the exception of korean friends LOL). Nothing dramatic, but it actually made a HUGE difference to my eyes. I don't look like I'm always glaring anymore, and I feel confident to go outside without putting on eyeliner. Might be slightly small for people looking for dolly eyes, but I'm very satisfied
