I had my double eyelid surgery done at Lovely Eye & Skin Clinic. I chose this clinic because I had been following the work of Dr. Roungkaw and the Lovely Specialist team for a long time. Also, my close friend also had her eyelid surgery done here—the results were beautiful, and her recovery was very fast. She shared her entire experience with me, from consultation to surgery, and confirmed that the clinic provides excellent care and truly pays attention to patients. So I decided to consult the doctor about my own eyes—what technique would suit me best to achieve natural, sweet-looking eyelids that match my personality.
This was my first Korean eyelid surgery, and I was very excited. I asked a lot of questions during the consultation, but the doctor was so kind and answered every single one in detail. The staff were also very attentive, especially when explaining post-operative care, which is extremely important. Improper care after surgery can lead to complications.
BASELINE EYE: Uneven eyelids, Hooded eyes, Droopy eyes covering the creases caused by excess eyelid skin and fat
During the consultation, I learned that monolids, small eyes, or hooded eyelids are not only caused by genetics, but also excess skin and fat accumulation in the eyelids. As we age, this becomes more noticeable—eyelids look puffy, swollen, and tired. Every time I do my makeup, eyeliner tends to disappear into the creases. Furthermore, when taking photos, it is obvious that I have droopy eyelids. Getting Korean eyelid surgery might be an ideal solution for me (Because I want to have a sweeter look, hahaha)
The doctor explained that double eyelid surgery using Dr. Roungkaw Technique will remove excess fat and skin, correct droopy eyes, and create well-defined eyelid creases that suit my eye shape. This will maintain my natural appearance. It also makes eye makeup much easier.
LOVELY EYE 10 DAYS
As the doctor was very gentle—there was no pain or tightness, and recovery went very well. The clinic staff followed up closely throughout every step. Whenever I had questions, I could contact them via LINE OA immediately, which made me feel very reassured.
At 10 days, there was still some swelling. The eyelids looked slightly flipped outward with the lashes pointed upward. This is normal. The doctor explained that it would gradually improve and settle within 3–6 months depending on individual healing.
Post-care tips included:
- Applying cold compress frequently for the first 3 days
- Avoiding water contact before stitch removal
- Cleaning the wound daily, use saline instead of normal water (do not wash the whole face).
- Sleeping with head elevated
- Avoiding certain foods (chicken, eggs, seafood, fermented foods, alcohol, etc.)
LOVELY EYE 1 MONTH
Swelling reduced quite quickly. The eyelid crease started to settle nicely. The incision looked very neat thanks to the doctor’s technique and precision. The eyelids no longer drooped, and the crease became more defined. Applying medication consistently helped speed up recovery.
LOVELY EYE 3 MONTHS
There was a noticeable change on both eyes. They appear sweeter and larger. However, the outer corner of my left eyelid looked slightly larger and swollen. I was concerned it might not be symmetrical, so I contacted the clinic. The staff listened carefully and provided helpful advice.
LOVELY EYE 5 MONTHS (Double eyelid revision on left eye)
I went back to the clinic for consultation, and the doctor recommended a minor adjustment at the outer corner of the left eyelid to improve symmetry and create a smoother, more natural curve.
LOVELY EYE 5.5 MONTHS (Stitch removal on left eye)
12 days after double eyelid revision, it was time for stitch removal. The incision was very small on the left outer corner, and I expected better symmetry this time.
LOVELY EYE 1 YEAR
The eyelid creases are now very well-defined and natural. Both sides are symmetrical, and the design fits my face perfectly. My eyes look softer and sweeter. I only need light makeup now—no more struggling with thick eyeliner.
LOVELY EYE 2 YEARS
Even after 2 years, the eyelids still look as good as new—natural, defined, and beautiful. My original features are still preserved, but with a more refined, Korean-style look. Many people compliment me and ask where I had my surgery done because it looks so natural.
LOVELY EYE 2 YEARS
Overall, if anyone asks me about eyelid surgery or where to get it done, I would definitely recommend Lovely Eye & Skin Clinic. The doctor and staff provide excellent care from consultation all the way through recovery, both onsite and online.
