Hello ^^

Hello ^^

I’m Handa-aemi, and I had a very satisfying epicanthoplasty at Apex Plastic Surgery~

Due to genetics, I had epicanthal folds (Mongolian folds) that made my eyes look quite sharp and fierce.
You can also see the very prominent dark circles under my eyes, right?
I looked like a very tired person, haha.

I think it’s genetic ㅠㅠ because my second child, Dawon, also has dark circles under their eyes ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

I learned a lot during my consultation with the Director at Apex Plastic Surgery.

He told me that if the epicanthal folds were removed completely, my eyes would look like "Dreamland" (unnatural)...
So, after consulting with him, we decided to remove only a certain amount.
We also decided to fix the dark circles with under-eye fat repositioning.

To be honest... I also wanted to get a lower canthoplasty (mit-teu-im) ㅠㅠ
Because my eyes looked so fierce...

But I learned during the consultation with the Apex Director...

That the eyes naturally droop down as you get older...

He seems very ethical ^^
Both in his consultation and his surgical approach ^^

The first person I met during the consultation was Consultant Han-ui!

Her voice is still ringing in my ears, haha.
The reason I gave her one less star for her looks is because she said she’s getting her double eyelid surgery redone soon, haha.
Once she gets them redone, she’ll be a full five stars~

Here is the business card Consultant Han-ui gave me...
You can also find them at the front desk.
After my epicanthoplasty, I had something I was really curious about.
It was the weekend...

I couldn't wait and called...
She consulted with me so kindly, in such a sweet and professional voice.
Of course, she explained the parts I was curious about very well...

After meeting Consultant Han-ui,
I met Director Song Hyun-seok.

He recommended epicanthoplasty for eye shape correction.
He said that since my nose tip is a "box-type," just doing the tip would make my upper lip look much less recessed.
He also noted that my under-eye dark circles were very severe.

The Director even held his own nose to demonstrate and recreate the look for me, haha.
Perhaps because he’s a doctor, he had a serious "documentary style" without many jokes.
He was someone with very clear and refined speech.

After the consultation, I, Handa-aemi, booked the surgery right away ^^

If I didn't do it now while I had the mind to, I’d end up like my mom ㅠㅠ
As you age, the epicanthal folds and under-eye fat become like that... it's scary!

Let me start the story of my surgery at Apex!

Introducing the Apex Plastic Surgery waiting room~

The waiting room was very clean and well-organized.

That painting... it’s really fascinating.
In the photo, it just looks like a pink painting, right?
If you go for a consultation, take a look.
It’s truly amazing.

Right next to the waiting room is the place where I met Consultant Han-ui ^^

I can still smell the aroma of the coffee beans ^^

After being assigned a recovery room and changing my clothes,

I washed my face thoroughly before meeting the Director.
All the cleansing products are provided~
The water is warm and the pressure is great.

They also had towels neatly prepared.

Next, I met Director Song Hyun-seok again~
Even seeing him again, he is a very serious "documentary" Director, haha.

He checked my eye condition and started drawing.

Now~ shall we look at our "Red Pen" Director’s drawing skills? ㅋㅋㅋ

He checked how much of the epicanthal fold to open at the front of the eyes,
and confirmed the location for the fat repositioning to remove the dark circles under the eyes.

This is where the surgery takes place... *shivers*
Director, I’m counting on you! *shivers*

The recovery room that Han-ui herself guided me to ^^

This is where I rested after the surgery ^^
There was a heater on the right, and they had turned it on long before I arrived.
It was very cozy and warm, haha.

There is a bell connected to the front desk;
it made me feel so secure ^^

I’m the type of person who gets really bad swelling ㅠㅠ
When I got eyeliner tattoos, I swelled so much I could barely open my eyes.
But for the first day, that amount of swelling is really nothing, haha.

I’m also uploading comparison photos so you can see the before and after ^^
It changed a lot, right ^^?

After stitch removal:

After the stitches were removed and everything settled:

I’m now a "Handa-aemi" housewife who looks somewhat decent, haha.

A bit of the epicanthal fold remains, but the epicanthoplasty is very dramatic, right ^^?
And the dark circles under my eyes are gone!
Most of all, after the epicanthoplasty, the distance between my eyes narrowed slightly, which made the area between my nose and eyes narrower, giving the effect of my nose bridge looking a bit higher when viewed from the front!

Thank you to everyone in the Apex Plastic Surgery family ^^

Thank you for being so kind,
Thank you for treating me with sincerity,
And since I have keloid-prone skin that scars easily, thank you for generously giving me regeneration injections and laser treatments... ㅠㅠ
When I said I couldn't buy scar ointment, you told me I must apply it because of my skin type and just gave me the hospital's ointment for free... I felt bad but so grateful...
Thank you for smiling and adjusting the schedule when I called suddenly as a busy working mom.
And thank you to the surgical manager who even called to check if I liked the results and if I was managing well, even after confirming the surgery went well.

Most of all, thank you so much to Director Song Hyun-seok of Apex Plastic Surgery for performing the surgery so beautifully and with such care ^^

I was moved by the quote on the waiting room door about becoming a doctor who heals the patient's heart.

Director ^^ You are handsome! ㅋㅋㅋ

If I decide to do something else next time, haha,
See you again, Apex~
