My eyes have a bit of a sausage-like look, but the double eyelid crease itself isn’t high (seems to be around 8-9 mm) I had incisional surgery and nothing else There’s a slight lagophthalmos tendency at the inner part of my left eye / my impression looks very strong, so I also asked about canthoplasty everywhere
For now I’m deciding between ㄱㄴㅅㅇ and ㅇㅇㅋ, but I’ll write about the other places too in the order I visited All consultations were booked with the head director
1. ㄱㄴ I need ptosis correction, and because there’s a lagophthalmos tendency, two-line lowering is absolutely necessary Lower canthoplasty is not possible because it looks like I could end up with scleral show They pushed same-day booking hard (the price difference was also big)
2. ㅇㅎㅅ Excision is possible. Since it’s about 1 mm, it wouldn’t change much from the current lagophthalmos tendency Recommended ptosis correction and posterior-lower canthoplasty (the manager first asked if I had thought about doing it) There is a discount on the condition of uploading photo reviews to ㄱㄴㅇㄴ, etc. (they said if I send photos to the clinic first, they’ll mosaic them and send them back)
3. ㄹㄹ Can lower it down to an inner double eyelid through excision, and posterior canthoplasty is possible Ptosis correction needed The periosteal fixation thread for posterior canthoplasty has to be removed after 2 weeks There is a discount on the condition of posting photo reviews (must send photos to the clinic first)
4. ㅌㅇㅅ Consultation fee 20,000 won (head director) Can do about 1 mm excision for an in-out line or two-line lowering (to be decided in the operating room), but the inner part must be done with two-line lowering for now Ptosis correction needed This was the first place that measured my eyes with a ruler while consulting If you really want canthoplasty, you can do it later too, so do whatever you want~
The price was the highest ever
5. ㅁㅅㄹㅇ It seems like you don’t need to do it??? But if you insist, your eyes do need ptosis correction Ptosis correction + lowering the line along the existing crease is possible. In your case it may actually become too low, so surgery would need to be done carefully to prevent it from getting too low This doctor originally dislikes canthoplasty..
6. ㅇㄴㅋ Lower the line and do two-line lowering on the front portion; if doing two-line lowering at the inner part, do fat repositioning there Ptosis correction needed Your eyes are already big now, no need for canthoplasty When I asked, if the eyes improve with ptosis correction alone, couldn’t I just do ptosis correction only? they said then the puffy sausage-like look in the front wouldn’t go away
7. ㄴㅅㅎ Can lower it by half, just lower the line with incision, and ptosis correction is essential Upper canthoplasty also seems needed (but optional), posterior-lower canthoplasty is also optional
- It felt like they looked a bit roughly, but I was flustered because upper/anterior canthoplasty came up, which hadn’t been mentioned anywhere else
8. ㅇㅇㅋ They started with, it seems okay even if you don’t do it, and doesn’t it look okay with makeup? then after holding a line, ah... a lower line is much prettier... Here, even the consultation manager tried holding the line at first? Interesting... This was the first place that structurally pointed out why my eyes became like this For the front portion, two-line lowering; lower the line by about 1-2 mm; ptosis correction essential Your eyes are not fierce at all and the lower line is not raised either, no canthoplasty There is a discount for providing eye photos : Until I went to ㄱㄴㅅㅇ today, I had practically decided on ㅇㅇㅋ because they explained my eyes well They also explained why they would do two-line lowering on the front portion, pointed out that my eyes are actually slightly asymmetrical, and explained why the current line may have been operated this way, so it was good They said if I do two-line lowering on the front portion, the slight lagophthalmos I currently have may also improve What bothered me was that it is two-line lowering after all, the surgery date I wanted was already full, and the surgery schedule looked somewhat tightly packed (I’d have to go to work right after stitch removal ㅠㅠ)
9. ㄱㄴㅅㅇ Here they also talked about my eye structure and even caught that my mainly used eye is the left eye (I already knew) They said ptosis correction is the main thing for you, but since the left eye is your dominant eye, there may be Hering’s phenomenon, and theoretically the lagophthalmos could get a bit worse My current line is a bit different from their preferred aesthetic, so they would probably cut about 1 mm to match the line Your eyes are sufficient now; because ptosis correction alone will make the impression softer, no canthoplasty There is a discount for providing eye photos : Their preferred aesthetic seemed to match mine, so it was okay.. I also liked that it wasn’t two-line lowering.. They also have the surgery date I want (if I do it on the date I want, I can rest for ten days and go back to work..) What bothers me is that since the left side is the dominant eye, the two sides may feel different when I close my eyes, and there may be lagophthalmos
I still have consultations left at ㅁㅊㅍ and ㅍㅇㅌ, but I think I’m going to decide between ㅇㅇㅋ and ㄱㄴㅅㅇ. Which side would be better? Everyone who has had surgery at ㅇㅇㅋ or ㄱㄴㅅㅇ, please recommend...ㅠㅠ Improving lagophthalmos with front two-line lowering vs. no two-line lowering but possible worsening... lolol
Right now I don’t have side effects from lagophthalmos. But right after my first surgery it was really severe, so I hated closing my eyes.. It took a long time to come down, so I’m torn...
