It’s my first surgery, and I had booked a total of 5 places, but I couldn’t go to one because of my schedule ㅠㅠ Last time I posted a summary of 3 places, but this time I’ll post an overall summary!
1. Apgujeong ㅈㄷ (single-doctor clinic) Consultation: doctor > consultant Surgery: inline_buried suture method (6 stitches), canthoplasty, no ptosis correction Anesthesia: sedation + local Time: 15 min~ Swelling: 1-2 weeks Price: 1.65 million KRW No need for stitch removal; washing face, showering, and shampooing possible from the day after surgery

3. Sinnonhyeon ㅁㅂ (forgot the head doctor’s name) Consultation: consultant > doctor > consultant Surgery: inline_natural adhesion, epicanthoplasty (required) Anesthesia: sedation + local Time: ~1 hour Swelling: ? Price: 1.87 million KRW Stitches removed after 6-7 days
4. Sinnonhyeon ㅇㄷ (Director Yoon xx) Consultation: consultant > doctor > consultant Surgery: inline_incision, epicanthoplasty, ptosis correction Anesthesia: sedation + local Time: 2 hours Swelling: at least 2 weeks Price: photos private 2.9 million, public 2.6 million KRW Stitches removed after 7 days; visit at 1 month to check scar tissue(?) and get an injection if needed
Honestly, since I had first gone to two single-doctor clinics, when I went to ㅁㅂ and they told me to do epicanthoplasty, I was like, huh? Is this clinic overtreating me or what; that’s what I thought, you know? But later when I asked people, they said single-doctor clinics tend to be a bit conservative, so maybe that’s why they didn’t recommend epicanthoplasty. The more consultations I go to, the more I really don’t know ㅠㅠ
The place I wanted from the start was ㅇㄷ, so I went this time, but they suddenly told me to do an incision method, so I don’t know.. At this rate I might not be able to get double-eyelid surgery. I can’t decide, and going around is so exhausting ㅠ
