I had non-incisional lateral canthoplasty once five years ago, but over time it seemed to return to how it originally was. So this time, I looked into incisional rather than non-incisional lateral canthoplasty. After searching many clinics on Instagram, visiting in person, and deliberating, I chose Barabon Plastic Surgery. I think I decided on this clinic because the director's explanation of my eye condition during the consultation felt more trustworthy than at other clinics. Above all, I trusted that I could have lateral canthoplasty without inferior canthoplasty and without ending up with a panda-like appearance. One good thing after surgery was that I could send photos of my recovery through the chat room and immediately ask about discomfort or concerns. During recovery, even small things can make you worry whether they are normal, so being able to ask right away was helpful. The hardest part for me was that conjunctival edema lasted longer than I expected. Looking up reviews about conjunctival edema made me feel depressed, because it is said to occur most often among canthoplasty procedures and cannot necessarily be called a complication; some people even have it for two months. I kept using eye drops frequently, expecting it to disappear in two weeks, but after three weeks, all the conjunctival edema amazingly went away before one month. Quite some time has passed now, and people around me do not realize I had surgery unless I tell them first. My parents said my eyes somehow seem gentler without looking obvious. I definitely feel more confident without makeup. Looking at my eyes continuously, I can notice a little asymmetry because the two sides are not completely identical, and the right side feels less effective. Still, my outer eye corners are clearly softer than before and my overall eye shape seems gentler, so I am satisfied now. Because I struggled with conjunctival edema more than expected during recovery, the result did not feel extremely dramatic for the time I went through. At first I was afraid it would be too noticeable, but now I wish they had been widened more. Still, I prefer that my eye shape became naturally softer rather than changing too obviously. I hope my review helps anyone deliberating revision surgery because their lateral canthoplasty from five years ago seems to have returned.

I visited this place because I heard it has one surgeon, performs many revision eye surgeries, and operates on many difficult eye cases, but it does not seem to be eye-specialized.. I have congenital ptosis, but the consultant did not know

I had eye surgery twice; one side was undercorrected for ptosis, and the other became a sausage eyelid, so I did a lot of research and visited this place. There is a 10,000-won consultation fee, but in short, it was not worth it.. After…

I had incisional double-eyelid surgery seven years ago, but the thin crease and pinching at the inner canthus were so stressful that I went ahead with revision surgery!! I usually do not swell much, and perhaps because the revision took…
Eye Surgery Reviews@eye-reviewSep 10 [Clinic A] review
I had surgery for an upturned nose and ptosis correction at the same time, and although I was satisfied, I was disappointed that the inner canthus was not opened as much as I had hoped. Because the doctor pursued a natural aesthetic for…

I had double-eyelid surgery here 10 years ago. My double-eyelid lines became uneven, so I had an after-service revision; they are okay now, but one eyelid line itself is not rounded and has a sharp bend. I plan to have revision surgery…
Eye Surgery Reviews@eye-reviewSep 10 I had revision surgery because my double eyelids were coming undone
I could see that the double-eyelid line I had done before was gradually coming undone, so I had revision surgery before it completely came undone. Since it was revision surgery, the line was important, but I looked for a clinic with the…
