Double Eyelid Surgery Reviews: ‘Not an Ad’

While browsing the internet, you may have come across titles like this:

Double eyelid surgery review – Not an ad

Of course, it might actually not be an advertisement, but would someone who isn’t advertising really feel the need to write ‘Not an ad’? ^^

Well, anyway. Whether it is an ad or not, a review is still a review.

In reality, there are patients who write about their own experiences, but it is extremely rare.

As someone who runs a clinic, I am always very grateful to those who occasionally share their personal experiences, especially when they are positive accounts.

The photos below were obtained with the patient’s consent.

Now, this is truly ‘not an ad’... lol. I am simply sharing this as a reference to show how the swelling progresses.

I would like to summarize the most important points regarding surgery once more:

1. Know your own condition first. – Your natural bone structure is the most important factor.
2. Respect the specialist’s judgment, as there are shapes that suit you better depending on your condition.
3. Respect the specialist’s judgment on whether a post-operative issue is just swelling or a surgical error.
4. Understand that if a revision is necessary, you must wait up to 6 months. – Of course, this is stressful for the patient, but immediate surgery is not possible. However, such cases are very rare. Everything is measured precisely, and the risk decreases as the surgeon’s experience increases.

At this point, I should probably include my favorite rabbit emoticon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important consideration for double eyelid surgery?

It is most important to first understand your congenital skeletal structure. Since each person has a different skeletal and eye condition, it is the first step towards a successful outcome to consult with a specialist based on this to find the double eyelid shape that best suits you and to plan the surgery.

If I am not satisfied with the results after surgery, can I have revision surgery immediately?

No, it is difficult to have revision surgery immediately. Even if revision is deemed necessary, it usually takes about 6 months for the tissue to stabilize. The more experienced and meticulous the surgeon is in measuring and performing the surgery, the rarer the chance of such revision.

How do I know if my eyes are swollen after surgery and if something is wrong?

It is most accurate to confirm by respecting the diagnosis and judgment of a specialist. It is difficult for a layperson to easily distinguish whether it is a natural swelling process after surgery or a problem caused by a botched surgery, so you must show the progress to the specialist who performed the surgery and consult with them.

When does the swelling after double eyelid surgery completely subside?

There are individual differences, but usually, by the 4-month mark, the swelling subsides significantly, and the eyes become more natural. The text explains the process of swelling reduction by comparing the progress immediately after surgery, at 4 days, and at 4 months, and over time, the eyes gradually settle into their original shape.
