I had non-incision double eye surgery, epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty at Apgujong Seoul Plastic Surgery. My eyes couldn’t open after I finished surgery but got a little better the next day. Although I did the suture method, it felt a bit like the cutting method as the swelling made me feel very uncomfortable.
However the thought of looking good after the surgery gave me strength to keep on persevering. 1568 4 18832 After 182 days My 6 months after surgery picture! Don’t I look really natural now?
The results surpasses way above my expectations!! After 91 days This is how I look after 3 months, I could not have imagined such perfect eye shape. I look good even without make up!
After 31 days my eyes get bigger and i love the result After 7 days Swelling went down after a week and the eye corners weren’t that red any more, except the folds still felt like it was a wee little thick. After 3 days I got used to the swelling after 3 days post-surgery.
