I didn't think much about PS until I was introduced to it through a good friend. I had droopy, hidden and thick eyelids that caused my eye liner to always smudge. My under-eye dark circles were bad and I had a flat forehead.
I didn't consider myself ugly but who wouldn't want to look a little prettier? I've always thought that dark circles were more difficult to correct than eye bags since it was the discoloration of the skin until I met with Dr Park of Dream. He was a charming and kind doctor.
He knew I was rather conservative and wasn't ready for the incision method. He advised non-incision lids and a slight epicanthoplasty cut together with fat grafting at the forehead and under eyes. You could see in the photos that I didn't have bad swelling at the upper lids (only the first week) but the fat grafted under the eyes took a longer time to heal (about 2-3 weeks).
My double lids were not a lot higher since I wanted to still look like myself except a little more enhanced. (from iphone to iphone plus? lol^^) Post 1 year since my surgery and I haven't regretted doing the surgery at all.
Due to work travels I often go to Korea and upkeep my skin maintenance. I am already planning my next surgery now that I've found Misooda. Doing make up is so much easier, looking good can make you feel so much more confident about yourself!
