I originally didn’t have a huge intention to get double eyelid surgery, but my eyelids cover my eyes, so my eyelashes poke my eyes... So I decided to get double eyelid surgery... If I get it done, I’ll leave a review for that too.
Please keep in mind that I went with my mom and we both had consultations, so the total consultation time was for two people...!
ㅍㅇㅅ Even though I made a consultation appointment here, I waited over 30 minutes... Even when I asked when we would finally go in, they just kept repeating that they were seeing the person who had surgery before us first and told us to wait... If that was going to happen, I thought they should have scheduled the consultation 30 minutes later from the start ㅠ The front desk staff was unfriendly, but the consultant and doctor were kind. I consulted with the doctor for about 10 minutes and the consultant for about 20 minutes. Since the distance between my eyes and eyebrows is on the closer side, about 1 cm..? they said a forehead lift would be good, and for the double eyelid surgery itself, they recommended a partial incision. They said double eyelid surgery was definitely necessary because my eyelids cover my eyes. Maybe because they brought up a forehead lift, they said it would be done under full sleep anesthesia, without waking me up in the middle... That felt a bit questionable, so I didn’t choose this place...
ㅅㅇㄱㄹ Here, I only talked with the doctor, without a consultant. About 30 minutes? They told me to do partial incision and epicanthoplasty, and I had heard that the tool used to make the double eyelid hurts. It did sting more than other places, but they didn’t press down hard enough to hurt. They said fat removal was needed and that the surgery would be done under local anesthesia.
ㅂㄹㅂ Consultation with the doctor was under 10 minutes, and with the consultant about 15 minutes? As soon as they saw my eyes, they casually said, “Buried suture would be enough? Do epicanthoplasty if you want.” It was that kind of vibe. Since I originally wanted buried suture, and they complimented my eyes saying they were pretty, I was really drawn here at first. They said they would use sleep anesthesia for the local anesthesia, then wake me up and do the surgery. I’m scared of injections, so I think that was part of why I was drawn to it... haha +) I went back again today. What I was worried about was my upper eyelids getting thick, and they emphasized again that there’s nothing that can be done about that, but said it in a slightly tired wayㅜㅜ I felt a little hurt, but that’s just my personal feeling, and maybe the doctor was just speaking very coolly... I guess I’m thinking like Eunchae, where the fact that someone is a T itself hurts.
ㅁㅇ Here too, the doctor kept seeing me. I think they spent the longest time with me? They told me to do partial incision or incision, and said ptosis correction might make my eyes look clearer, but because I have protruding eyes, there’s a possibility of the unfortunate issue of my eyes not closing. So they said ptosis correction would be optional, and that epicanthoplasty would be good because of my Mongolian folds. They explained things in a lot of detail, but there were no reviews... and no customers, so I passed for now... But when I looked at reviews here, it seemed everyone passed for the same reason...
ㄷㄷㅈㅇ Here, I went without an appointment. My mom was looking into a lift, but they said they only do eyes, so we hadn’t bookedㅜㅜ Since I really wanted to go, my mom said, “Let’s just go for now,” so we went blindly... and I even got to see the doctor briefly...! They told me to do epicanthoplasty + ptosis correction + incision. Here, they said it’s anesthetic cream before surgery -> local anesthesia. I asked if it would be okay because I had heard that if you do ptosis correction, your eyes may not close, and the consultant said the doctor here pursues a natural look, so they absolutely don’t overdo it. They said doing it only to the extent that the eyes close well is skill, and that the doctor here is skilled, with a lot of confidence, so I was slightly tempted. The consultant explained while showing photos and was kind, so I was really drawn to it. There were also many people around me who said their results were good. But... they recommended that three-part set so stronglyㅜㅜ so I was really conflicted.... +) In the end, I decided on this place. I told them I absolutely didn’t want epicanthoplasty even if I died, because I don’t want my impression to change, I don’t want it to hurt when stitches are removed, and the distance between my eyes is already 36 mm, so even if they open 1 mm on each side, it becomes 34........ㅜㅜ It felt too close. They said because of my Mongolian folds, it would become an inline crease. Or they suggested making an outline along the crease I already have now, not a double eyelid crease, but the crease from my eyelid folding, and I said that was okay. At first I was conflicted about this place because I thought I had to do exactly what they recommended, but if I say I don’t want something, they give alternatives.
