Saggy eyelids that made me look few years older pushed to proceed

I think the reason why my eyelids became so droopy was due to genetics but apart from just saggy skin on my eyes I was also needed facelift, so the recovery for me was a bit longer than the average. A complete list of surgeries I underwent: upper with lower blepharoplasty, midface lift, accusculpt and fat injections, so as far as you already understood, I didn’t have an option whether to proceed it under general or local anesthesia lol.The total surgery time was around 3.5 to 4 hours and I think the saying “no pain no gain” holds some truth… But as for eyes, I didn’t have any pain only slight bleeding the first few days but it all was only my fault as I didn’t follow all doctor’s instructions. My eyes felt very tight and were very swollen but once stitches were removed (on day 7) the situation began to improve little by little.It’s been 2 months already and I feel great. I already can apply makeup on my eyes which makes me even happier. The result looks amazing, minimal swelling still remains but I was told it needs some time to get away completely. My incisions have healed well and I think it was worth it. I already feel that look way younger with a very natural look.

I recently got a revision rhino in Seoul with some other surgeries, but will write about them later as still very swollen but nose looks already great! My surgeon for second nose job was Dr. Hyuntaek Lee. His hospital Banobagi is located in Seoul. Initial cost for this procedure was around KRW 6,440,000, but I paid less and since I paid in total, I can’t say the exact amount for revision rhino with discount, sry… Throughout the years my nose got hit few times, eventually adding some crookedness on top of my low bridge making it look super ugly. My primary augmentation surgery I got in Singapore when went there as an exchange student for a semester. The reason why I went to Seoul for my revision surgery was that a friend of mine had FC done there before and I really liked her result, so she suggested me to go to that hospital. I was super excited to see what Dr. Lee would say about my nose. He suggested to change the implant and insert a piece of cartilage on the tip, to fix the implant. When he was explaining everything, he knew what he was talking about making me feel really confident and comfortable. My health was checked with a blood test and the results turned out pretty good, so I was scheduled for my surgery for few days after.I was told not to eat or drink anything at least 10 hours before it started. I came an hour earlier to fill out some paperwork. After that I was giver a hospital gown and shown my recovery room. It didn’t take them long to prepare me for the surgery or maybe for me time flew so fast. Once I was given an IV injection with anesthesia I remember absolutely nothing. By the time I woke up all my surgeries were done. Usually, patients don’t stay over night after rhino but since I had some other procedures done, the hospitalization for me was 1 night and that night was terrible. Lot of discomfort, blocked nose, some headache and dizziness, hopefully didn’t feel any pain on my face.Next morning Dr. Lee checked up on me and I could finally go back to my hotel. On day 3 I came back to take out cottons and breathing became much easier right away. A week after stitches on my columella were removed as well as a cast. Another week later all stitches that were inside my nose were removed as well.Although it’s been only 6 weeks, I feel great. Of course still swollen, but already satisfied with my results after rhino. I can see that now the bridge is straighter and a little higher as I wanted from the very beginning. My tip is numb for now but so far looks perfect to me with very right angle degree. Dr. Lee said that my nose will continue to heal for up to 6 months but I expect that can reach final result way earlier as my initial recovery went very smooth. Finally, very satisfied with my nose!

Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Left Me Looking So Much Younger!

I still remember days when I was young, looked fresh and beautiful. Pity but between then and now due to stresses of life, the difference is huge. I disliked the way I looked so much that I even started to avoid looking in the mirror. I was never against plastic surgery thinking that people should do what would make them happy enough. And I wasn’t happy at all. I consulted with few surgeons and all of them suggested to get both upper and lower blepharoplasty but the surgeon I ended up with was with much better personality. The price difference wasn’t big, so I didn’t even think about it. I knew the likelihood of possible risks but trusted my surgeon and was confident enough in his professionalism and skills. The most uncomfortable were the 3 days after my surgery. I didn’t feel any pain but my eyes were very swollen, so I could barely open them. Stitches were removed 7 days after the procedure and that was the worst moment in the whole recovery. Even though I applied ointment everyday as was prescribed, the stitches area was a bit dry which I guess made removing them a little painful for me. Over the last couple of months my scars began to gradually fade away and by now they are hardly visible. And now I have no eyebags or droopy eyelids. No more sad and tired look. I don’t regret about proceeded surgery and very thankful to my surgeon Dr. Hyun Taek Lee, he did a great job!
