<Natural adhesion + epicanthoplasty + upper epicanthoplasty> Before double-eyelid surgery, my eyes were uneven and anyone could tell my Mongolian folds were really, really severe, so I thought I absolutely had to get epicanthoplasty.
I visited 2 clinics only in Gangnam, and both are famous clinics. (Originally, I went with surgery at clinic 1 in mind, and I thought going to just one place wasn't right, so when clinic 2 said they had a canceled appointment, I got a consultation on the same day.) Clinic 1 is a large clinic, and I had a consultation with the head director. I originally have double eyelids, but they said my eye-opening strength is weak and the force that makes the line come undone? is strong, so they recommended incision. They also said the distance between my eyebrows and eyes is narrow, so they couldn't set the line high. They said it would just be a slightly more refreshed version of my original eyes? The consultation was very short, and I was a bit disappointed. I felt like I didn't really get a proper explanation, but they just checked ptosis correction on the consultation paper.... And the consultant wasn't unkind, but the atmosphere itself was kind of scary? uncomfortable ㅠㅠ There was no pressure to pay a deposit! I asked about the same-day booking discount, and they just told me to contact them before business hours ended. Consultation order: consultant - director - consultant (price guidance)
Estimate: incision + epicanthoplasty + ptosis correction (same-day booking VAT discount, about 3 million won including VAT)
Clinic 2 Since I booked one more place in a hurry, honestly, I hadn't even looked up reviews... Anyway, after being a bit disappointed with the consultation at clinic 1, I went to clinic 2. This is a two-doctor clinic, and I had a consultation with the head director. First of all, I liked that the consultant was very kind! Also, while wearing a mask, they took photos with an iPad, and during the director's consultation, they put the photos up on the monitor. Here, they said my eye-opening strength was fine and I didn't need ptosis correction. Similarly, they said my Mongolian folds were too severe, so epicanthoplasty alone wouldn't be enough and I also needed upper epicanthoplasty. Half of the consultation was them hitting me with facts about how severe my Mongolian folds were... lol And they asked if I had a desired line, and since I wanted an in-out line, I showed photos of Irene and Jisoo. After looking at the photos, they said they were going to recommend an in-out line too. I was anxious, so I asked, will the line come out well? and they said that if the Mongolian folds are removed, it will come out well, in a very confident tone? like it was obvious.
Estimate: natural adhesion + epicanthoplasty + upper epicanthoplasty (about 2.1 million won including VAT, I don't remember the same-day booking discountㅠ I think there probably wasn't one)
I had surgery at clinic 2.
