2.6/5 Although this hospital definitely provided aftercare given the considerable cost, I still feel very disappointed, perhaps because the surgical approach and style did not suit me.

3.6/5 This is not a clinic specializing in double-eyelid surgery, but I had it done there seven years ago through an acquaintance of my mother, so it was cheap.

The price I wrote is the…Doctor’s manner4/5Consultation expertise3/5Staff courtesy4/5Facilities4/5Result met expectations3/54.2/5 The doctor was kind. The coordinators were not great.

Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redo3d Could this be my nose showing through?
