DM Eye Enlargement

It took a very long time for my smiling eyes to come back. It wasn’t the shape I wanted. So I had it restored.

From the consultation through the surgery and recovery, it was an overall satisfying experience. The pre-surgery design consultation was thorough, which put me at ease, and the surgery itself was more comfortable than I expected. I’m still recovering, but my eyes look more open and defined than before, so I’m satisfied. The follow-up checks and aftercare were also kind, which made me even more satisfied. 👍

This is my one-week post-op review after getting lateral canthoplasty with lower canthoplasty (Bbang canthoplasty) from Dr. Lee Juhong at DM Plastic Surgery. I first found out about DM Plastic Surgery while looking into clinics known for lateral and lower canthoplasty. When I went in for my initial consultation, the doctor only mentioned the parts that were truly necessary, so I liked that there was no overtreatment and decided to go ahead with it! Also, the consultant kindly explained everything to me step by step during the consultation, and the doctor asked whether I had any more questions, which I liked as well. I had it done under sedation, and after a week, once the stitches were removed, a lot of the swelling went down and it became much more natural. My eyes used to look cramped at the outer corners because I had small, narrow eyes, but they now definitely feel more opened up, so I’m very satisfied! I’m also very satisfied because I don’t have the square-shaped complication!

This is a photo after getting my stitches removed on day 7. There is still some swelling, and I also have eyes that don’t open very wide, so I can’t see a huge difference yet, but I think there is at least a little difference, which I like. The surgery also ended quickly, and the anesthesia was tolerable.

The recovery was faster than I expected, which was great. The surgery didn’t hurt, and it was over really quickly. I was worried because my eyes were so red through day 5, but once the stitches were removed, the redness and swelling started going down in real time. I feel really fortunate that I had it done at this clinic.

The front part was very open, but the back always felt cramped, like clam eyes. They said there was originally only 1 mm of space that could be opened, but I really wanted a wide opening, so I had the surgery hoping it would open up even that much. But wow, it looks much more open than I expected, and I love it. They provided a post-procedure care kit with pumpkin juice, cold compresses, and sterile cotton swabs. At the one-week mark, they also did a swelling laser treatment, and when I visited at one month, they asked whether I had any discomfort. I mentioned redness, and they reassured me that it was a normal reaction. Actually, there is hardly any redness. It is just the kind of surgery that makes me wonder why I did not get it sooner! There is an additional 100,000 won fee for sedation anesthesia. I definitely recommend sedation anesthesia, since it is over when you wake up haha.

The surgery was over quickly, and everyone was kind, which was nice. Right after the surgery, I couldn't really tell the difference, but when I looked at the before-and-after photos, I think I could see a difference. I like that my eyes seem a little more open.

The surgery time was short, and the swelling was not as severe as I expected. There was also little pain. Since it has only been a week, the swelling has not gone down much yet, so it is a bit early to rate my satisfaction. I’ll write another review after one month.

I used to be self-conscious about my small eyes, but I think it’s been resolved.

I had lateral canthoplasty done by Dr. Lee Ju-hong at DM Plastic Surgery. The area of white visible behind my iris has increased. It has only been a week, so my eyes are still bloodshot, but the bloodshot lines seem a little longer, and it looks prettier without being obvious, so I think they will look more defined once the swelling goes down. I like it. I worried that eye surgery might hurt, but it was over in just 30 minutes under sedation anesthesia. haha Looking at my before photos, my eyes definitely do look smaller. The price was also exactly as listed on Babitalk. > I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to look naturally prettier.
