I’m considering getting both upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) done in Korea and was hoping to hear from others who’ve had this procedure there. If you’ve gone through it, could you share what your experience was like? Specifically, I’m curious about your healing timeline — how long did the swelling and bruising last, and when did you start to feel ‘normal’ again? Also, were there any unexpected side effects or challenges you didn’t anticipate during recovery? Would you recommend the clinic or surgeon you went with? Any tips or advice for someone preparing for the procedure would be greatly appreciated!"
Hi there, Last year, I finally decided to do something I had been thinking about for years upper and lower eyelid surgery. My eyes had always made me look more tired than I felt, and after turning 34, I realized it was time for a change. I came across CloudHospital while researching safe and reputable clinics in Korea. They helped me connect with Yujin Plastic Surgery & Dermatology & Stem Cell Research Center, and honestly, I couldn’t be more thankful. From the first consultation to the final check-up, everything was handled with such care.
Dr. Tae-jo Kang was calm, gentle, and extremely detailed in how he explained the procedure. I appreciated that he didn’t rush anything and really took the time to understand what I wanted a natural look that still felt like me. The recovery was manageable. Swelling and bruising lasted about ten days, but by the third week, I was already getting compliments on how refreshed I looked. I didn’t expect the first few nights to be as uncomfortable, but the clinic gave me a care kit and daily guidance, which helped a lot.
Looking back, I’m so glad I trusted CloudHospital to guide me. If you’re thinking about doing this, my advice is: don’t rush, ask every question, and choose a surgeon who makes you feel heard. For me, that was Dr. Kang at Yujin, and I truly recommend him if you want results that look elegant and real.
