Maybe because I have rhinitis, or because of congenital under-eye fat, the shadow that appears when I take photos was so stressful that I decided to get surgery. Under-eye fat repositioning prices really vary a lot.. I looked for places up to the low 1 million KRW range, and because I was worried about side effects from fat grafting or fat removal, I went in thinking I would not do those even if the doctor recommended them. During consultations, I asked, should I do fat grafting.. If they told me to do it, I planned not to do it at that hospital… hehe
- Director Kim at ㅇㄹ Event price 1.08 million KRW (Conditions: write twice per week on 1 app and 1 community) Consultation order was director > consultant There were many reviews and I had not heard anything bad, so I included it as an option. As soon as I went in, there were many people waiting in the lobby, and consultants? were lined up at the counter, so it felt overwhelming,, I may have felt that way because this is my first surgery and I am a scaredy-cat. When I went into the director’s room and said I came because of under-eye fat repositioning, he explained what kind of surgery it is in a way that felt like he had said it so many times it just came out automatically.. lol But it absolutely was not insincere. The director also looked a bit tired, and since it was my first consultation I was nervous and could not ask much. I think I came out of the director’s room in 3 minutes. I asked what it would be like after surgery, and he pointed under my eyes with his hand and said it would feel like the aegyo-sal area had filled in. When I asked whether I needed fat grafting, he said I did not. Surgery time is 30 minutes! After I came out, I discussed the price and aftercare with the consultant. They said if I did not book the same day, they would not give the event price. The reservation deposit is 100,000 KRW and can be canceled within a week. On the day of surgery, I have to pay the remaining amount + a 100,000 KRW review deposit in cash, and they said the deposit would be transferred back to my account after I write all the reviews. For aftercare, there is a swelling laser, and the tape stays on for 3 days.
- ㅊㄷㅊㅊ single-doctor clinic 1.3 million KRW (No review event, discount on the condition that I upload postoperative progress photos to a cafe run by the hospital) Consultation order was consultant > director > consultant It is a small standalone clinic building, but I had to go a bit into an alley. There is no pharmacy right in front of the clinic, so I think you would have to come out to the main road. But the clinic interior did not feel like a hospital; it had a hair salon atmosphere like Chahong, so I felt less nervous. When I went into the consultation room, the consultant took photos of my eyes with a tablet and recorded them, then explained while showing anatomical drawings drawn by the director on a monitor. Wherever you go, under-eye fat repositioning is done by repositioning fat + fixation to the conjunctiva, but here they said that when fixing to the conjunctiva, they use a long needle (I understand it was patented by Director Jang at Wannabe) to insert the needle deeply toward the inside, so the maintenance is better. After that, the director came into the consultation room, explained the surgery again, and checked my condition. Unusually, he explained while pressing not under my eyes but my upper eyelids. It was my first time learning that when you press the upper eyelid, the under-eye fat comes out. I asked about fat grafting, and although I am a case that does not need grafting, they said this clinic absolutely does not do fat grafting because of side effects. Since it is a clinic famous for facial fat, I naturally thought they would do it, so it was unexpected. The director seemed conservative and spoke frankly and bluntly. He answered all my questions well. After the director left, the consultant explained the price. The reservation deposit is 100,000 KRW. They said this clinic is not registered on apps and only promotes through the Instagram run by the clinic, so there is no discount even if I write a separate review. The tape stays on for 5 days, and they do dressing on day 2 and day 5. They said it is not mandatory, but if I come freely at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months, they will check the progress.
I felt both places were fine, and I also made a surgery reservation. There have been a lot of posts about under-eye fat repositioning lately, so I hope this helps~
