[Clinic A] review

No consultation fee. Consultation with [Doctor A]. Consultant-doctor-consultant sequence. The initial consultant meeting did not contain much, just identifying the line I wanted, then I met the doctor. The doctor did examine me in great detail, enough to take an hour, but became irritated near the end. Unlike other clinics, the doctor kept telling me to relax when opening my eyes. While designing the crease, I said I wanted an in-out line with the inner corner visible, and suddenly the discussion shifted to a forehead lift. They said I have ptosis, and that because the distance between my eyebrows and eyes is short, ptosis correction would make my impression look harsh, so I need a forehead lift. They said that without a forehead lift, it would be absolutely impossible to create the line I want (like Irene's); I would need either a line where the inner corner is hidden or a much lower line. For the entire hour, they talked only about the lift. They showed many photos and designed many lines, but the focus was the lift. I felt the consultation was very conservative because when I asked whether I had protruding eyes or thick skin, they only said it was average. (At other clinics, they told me, even before I asked or when I asked, that my eyes were definitely protruding and my skin was not thick.) They also said clinics that make this kind of line without a lift are absurd, and that when patients are told by five clinics that it cannot be done, they go to one of the few clinics that says it can—and then it turns out badly. But I consulted at three places including this one, and all said I only need double-eyelid surgery, that my eyelid-opening strength is good, and they did not even bring up a forehead lift or ptosis correction. So my trust in this clinic is at rock bottom lol. I will absolutely not do it. The price for standard non-incisional double-eyelid surgery alone was 1.1 million won. For me, they recommended a forehead lift plus partial incision: forehead lift (3-point) 3.3 million won + partial incision 2.2 million won, for an estimate of 5.5 million won. Strongly not recommended.
