I had a habit of opening my eyes with my forehead, and I needed to tidy up sagging eyelid skin. I consulted 5 places, and they talked about ptosis correction and fat grafting for a hollow eye socket. My eye-opening strength didn’t seem that bad, so while searching YouTube to learn more about my eyes and get a better consultation, I found the final consultation with Director Yang Jinho at Cheongdam BI through the YouTube channel “Doctor Jin.” It turns out the clinic was originally famous for double-eyelid surgery. During the consultation, he confirmed that my eye-opening strength was indeed fine and that the issue was simply pseudoptosis caused by overhanging skin, which increased my trust!! He suggested trimming the sagging skin a bit and doing an incisional inner double-eyelid procedure, and he did not recommend hollow eyelid correction. He said that once the skin is cleaned up, it will be better than it is now, and if it still bothers me, I can do a second procedure after the double eyelid has settled - that point made me instinctively feel this was the place to have surgery. I booked right away. During the consultation with the manager, unlike other hospitals, they did not bring up discounts for writing reviews; they kept the consultation clean and straightforward, and the pricing was explained clearly too. Maybe that is why there seem to be fewer reviews. Somehow that made me even more confident. Up until the 1-month mark, the swelling in my eyes went down differently on each side, so I was a little bothered because it looked slightly uneven, but by the middle of the second month, the swelling went down fully and the line became even. I’m somewhat considering hollow eye sockets, so I plan to consult again after 6 months, once the double eyelid has fully settled. If you are thinking about double-eyelid surgery, it helps to first understand your own eye condition as much as possible. It is best to visit as many clinics as you can, preferably surgeons who operate by themselves. You do not want to regret it later. And I also recommend bringing photos of the eye shape you want. If you want your eyes to become just a bit more natural from your current eyes, I recommend Cheongdam BI.
