My eyelids are very droopy and full of fat, with completely monolid eyes, so rather than thick or flashy double eyelids, I wanted natural-looking double-eyelid surgery, even if the line was a little thin.
1. ㅇㅅ, Director ㅇㅇㅈ
Located near 228 Park by Jungangno Station. Direct consultation with the director, no consultation fee.
Waited 1 month for a consultation appointment.
The consultation was detailed and thorough. He said he only does full incisional surgery and does not do any canthoplasty at all.
He told me I needed ptosis correction, and that a little fat should be removed too.
He pursues the ultimate natural look. So he said many extremely sensitive people come to him. I saw photos taken right after surgery, and there was really almost no swelling, so he said it would go down enough that within a week there would be almost no major disruption to daily life.
He said the biggest side effect of his surgery is about the line coming undone (meaning there probably would not be any other serious side effects that make normal daily life impossible), and the AS period is 3 years. He said usually it is 1 year.
Also, I wanted canthoplasty, but he said he does not do it at all, so that was a bit disappointing.
I said I was worried because eyes like mine easily end up looking like sausages, and he said he would set the line thin so that would not happen.
What was a little disappointing was that I wondered whether this would suit my face, whether my eyes could turn out well, things like that, but he did not mention those parts. Even when I asked, the answer was not very clear. He was kind of robot-like.
Still, I felt that if I did it here, it really would not go badly in a major way. I thought it would look natural. I also trusted the director.
Surgery is not possible during the week before menstruation or during menstruation, and surgery is possible during the week right after menstruation. So in reality, only about one week out of a month works. You can either control it with medication or choose according to your cycle.
There was another director I wanted to consult with, but when I asked, they said I would have to wait almost another month, so I gave up on booking.
For the surgery schedule, you also have to wait about another month.
Full incision + ptosis correction = 1.6 million won
2. ㅇㄱ
This is also a clinic famous for natural results, located near Duryu Station. One director. Again, direct consultation with the director. No consultation fee. It was not hard to make an appointment, and I got one within a few days and came right away.
He did not explain at length, but spoke simply and in a way that was easy to understand. He also had a decent level of empathy.
He said my eye-opening strength is fairly good, so I do not need ptosis correction, and double-eyelid surgery alone would be fine.
He said medial epicanthoplasty was optional, but after he simulated it, I thought it would be better to do it, so I decided to do it!
When I told him I wanted to do it soon, he said even tomorrow was possible. Still, I was flustered, so I chose one week later!
This place also does it by incision.
