1. ㅇㅇㄱㄹ - recommended by an acquaintance First of all, the director felt very cheerful? and outgoing. As people said in the reviews I had looked up, they showed me a really wide variety of lines, and maybe because I was someone planning my first surgery, they also explained my eye condition in great detail. After the consultation ended, they sent me the consultation details and cost by KakaoTalk, which was nice! They recommended the natural adhesion method, and said I didn't really need other procedures like canthoplasty, but if I wanted them, I should think about it again after getting the double eyelid surgery. Cost was in the 1.0-1.5 million won range.
2. ㅇㄹㅇㅇ - recommended by an acquaintance The reviews said there usually wasn't much waiting, but maybe I just went on a busy day, because surgery was delayed and I waited about 30 minutes..ㅜㅜ The line they designed for me was really pretty, but unlike other places where they first explain in detail what is what and how things are done, here I had to ask questions myself, so there were some pauses in between.. Instead, unlike other places, the AS period is 10 years, so if it ever comes undone within that time, the revision surgery cost would be less burdensome, which was kind of tempting. They said the surgery method would be natural adhesion and that my eyes didn't really need canthoplasty. Cost was in the 1.0-1.5 million won range.
3. ㅍㄹㅁㅅ - recommended by an acquaintance The director's consultation here was also quite long, and while reflecting the eye look I wanted, they showed me lines in various thicknesses. They also separately showed me once more the thickness that suited my facial features well, and I really liked it so much. After the consultation ended, they also sent me the consultation details and cost by KakaoTalk, so I almost thought, do all private clinics do this? lol Ah, the waiting here was also a bit long, so that was hard ㅠㅠ.. The surgery method was natural adhesion, but when I said I was 고민 because another place said medial epicanthoplasty would make my eyes look more open, the director discouraged me, saying I didn't really need it and that if I went with the line they had designed, it would be enough to get the look I wanted. Cost was in the 1.0-1.5 million won range.
4. ㅅㅅ - famous reputation This was also one of the places recommended in a cafe, and as the reviews said, the director seemed to have very strong pride lol Also, the clinic layout was kind of interesting: the consultation rooms and the area for going into surgery were all along one long straight corridor, so even though I went for a consultation, it gave me that strange feeling like I was going in for surgery!! And unlike other places, rather than first saying it would be better to do this and not do that, their style was to answer yes or no when I asked, "If I want eyes like this, should I do this and this?" The line they designed was closer to a more glamorous style, but it was pretty. For the surgery method, they said natural adhesion, and because the inner/front part of my eyes? is a bit narrow and could come undone, they suggested doing a slight upper canthoplasty. Cost was in the 1.5-2.0 million won range.
Leaving cost aside, I really liked ㅍㄹㅁㅅ and ㅇㅇㄱㄹ in terms of the consultation and the clinic vibe?? should I call it that?? so I'm thinking about maybe going back for a second consultation at just those two places...
