Hi everyone! My name is Pompam, I'm 23 years old, and I recently had my first double eyelid surgery at Lovely Eye & Skin Clinic to achieve gentle eyes. If you're planning to have double eyelid surgery, I hope sharing my experience will help you make a more informed decision.
I had hidden double eyelids and excess fat in my upper eyelids, making my eyelids droop over my eyes. As a result, my eyes often looked like monolids, even though I naturally had double eyelids. This trait was caused by genetics—my mother has the same eyelid condition. As I got older, my eyelids became heavier, with excess skin covering both my eyelid crease and the inner corners of my eyes. Not only did this make my eyes appear smaller and more tired, but it also slightly affected my field of vision. My eyes often made me look stern, and whenever I smiled in photos, they nearly disappeared. Finding a flattering camera angle was difficult, and eye makeup was always a challenge.
I wanted bigger, naturally beautiful eyes with a brighter, more youthful appearance and a wider field of vision. That's why I decided to choose a surgeon who specializes in eye surgery procedures. After following the doctor's work on social media and reading numerous patient reviews, I definitely wanted to have my surgery at Lovely Eye & Skin Clinic. The doctor's extensive experience and expertise in eye surgery gave me confidence from the start. The clinic offers a wide range of advanced techniques, including double eyelid surgery, inner and outer corner eye extension procedures, as well as specialized Korean techniques. In addition, Lovely Eye & Skin Clinic features the exclusive New Lovely Microlaser technology, available only at this clinic.
Knowing that I would be treated by a highly experienced eye specialist with advanced technology made me feel confident that my concerns could be addressed safely and effectively. That's why I decided to have my eye surgery with the Lovely Specialist team. Let's see what my consultation with the doctor was like.
BASELINE EYE: Hidden, uneven double eyelids, drooping eyelid skin covering the creases, prominent inner corner folds that made my eyes appear shorter and less defined
During my consultation, the doctor carefully analyzed the structure of my eyes. He explained that I was born with different eye socket structures on each side, which caused my double eyelid creases to appear uneven. One eyelid looked thicker than the other, making my eyes appear unbalanced. I also had droopy upper eyelid skin that covered my eyelid crease, creating a hidden crease and making my eyes look puffy and less refreshed.
To address these concerns, the doctor recommended double eyelid surgery combined with the removal of excess upper eyelid skin using the New Lovely Microlaser. This specialized micro-laser is designed specifically for delicate eye surgery and is available only at Lovely Eye & Skin Clinic. Its precision helps minimize bleeding during surgery, resulting in well-defined eyelid creases, smooth incisions, minimal swelling and bruising, easier aftercare, and little to no downtime.
The doctor also recommended an inner corner opening procedure to remove the skin fold covering the inner corners of my eyes. This would create a longer, more refined eye shape and improve the overall balance and proportions of my eyes. The incision is connected to the double eyelid incision, allowing both procedures to be performed and cared for at the same time.
For every patient, the doctor customizes the eyelid design to complement each individual's facial features and natural eye anatomy. During the consultation, you can simply show the doctor photos of your preferred eye shape on your phone or describe the look you'd like to achieve, and the doctor will recommend the most suitable design for you.

The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. They gave me detailed aftercare instructions and regularly checked in to remind me to apply cold compresses during the first few days, take my medications, use the prescribed ointment, and avoid certain foods. They were always there to answer my questions and make sure I was taking good care of myself. Their thoughtful support gave me great peace of mind because I knew I was being well looked after every step of the way.
After the surgery, I experienced some swelling, which was completely normal. It wasn't as severe as I had expected, and it gradually subsided day by day. By the time my stitches were removed, the incisions had healed well and were nice and dry. The doctor told me that I could wash my face as usual two days after the stitches were removed. I was also advised to gently cleanse the eye area with a mild facial cleanser to keep the incisions clean and continue applying warm compresses to help reduce the remaining swelling and promote faster healing.

This photo was taken just a month after surgery. My eyelids were no longer hidden and my eyes no longer looked droopy. However, my eyelids have become beautifully symmetrical, and the inner corner opening has given my eyes a longer, more elegant shape. My eyes look bigger and softer, and I absolutely love the results! The swelling has gone down significantly. My eyes look bigger and brighter in selfies, it's much easier to find my best angles, and I'm so happy with my new eyes.
