7 years ago, I had partial-incision double eyelid surgery + ptosis correction, 1) lately it feels like the double eyelid has come undone, 2) the area above my eyes has also become sunken, so I want to fill it, and 3) since I’m getting surgery anyway, I also wanted to try medial and lateral canthoplasty, so I made time and went to consultations at several clinics. For consultation intervals, if the clinics were within a 1-minute walk, I scheduled them 1 hour apart; otherwise, I left at least 1.5 hours between them.
1. Director H at ㅇㅇㅌ Consultation fee: 10,000 won How I found them: I often saw them on YouTube Recommended surgeries: incisional double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, fat repositioning above the eyes, upper canthoplasty - They looked a bit more tired than they did on YouTube. Their voice was persuasive, so I got the feeling that if I did the surgeries they recommended, I’d become really handsome. I didn’t ask about lateral canthoplasty, so I plan to have another consultation. Cost: 3xx if I did everything *Let’s write down what to ask during consultations and check things off as we go. If you only keep it in your head, you end up forgetting one or two things.
2. Director ㅇㅅㅈ at ㅇㄷ Consultation fee: I think I paid one, but I don’t remember How I found them: YouTube, graduate of S University Recommended surgeries: incisional double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, lateral canthoplasty - They seemed confident about their own surgery. (They clearly tell you what is possible and what is not. Recommended for people who are bad at making choices.) They did not recommend medial canthoplasty because it would make my eyes look too close together, but recommended lateral canthoplasty. If you watch their YouTube videos, they seem like an expert in lateral canthoplasty. Cost: 4xx
3. Director ㅇㅈㅎ at ㄷㅇ Consultation fee: x How I found them: ㄱㄴㅇㅇ app, Y University Recommended surgeries: incisional double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, medial canthoplasty (optional), lateral lower canthoplasty - They said that if I do revision incisional double eyelid surgery, my current inner double eyelid line could become a bit higher, so I should think carefully about the surgery itself. They recommended the above methods if I’m okay with the line becoming higher.
Cost: late 2xx, on the condition of leaving a review
I got the impression that surgery with all three doctors would be okay. Since each doctor’s diagnosis differed on whether I should have canthoplasty, I decided to get more consultations. (Continued in Part 2)
