My double eyelid clinic-shopping process..
Age 20) Without knowing much, I just wanted to make double eyelids, so I got consultations at two random clinics in Gangnam They said I absolutely had to have incisional surgery and recommended all kinds of canthoplasty procedures Since it was my first surgery, everyone around me was getting buried suture or natural adhesion, so why me.. I thought that and left after saying I wouldn't do it
Then, after n years, I wanted to do it again, so I looked into it again and booked ㄹㅂㄹ and ㅂㄷㄴ But unlike my desire to get consultations quickly, I couldn't get reservations for an early date so I waited a bit.. As I got more and more curious, I just went to a no-name plastic surgery clinic in my neighborhood and got another consultation lol
Clinic A (In conclusion, I don't recommend it, so I won't bother saying which one..) I wanted a semi-out or in-out line! The director's opinion was that in-out would suit me better But if I really wanted, semi-out would be okay too Instead, they said it had to be done by incision They said if I did in-out as the director recommended, or a completely natural inner line, non-incisional would be possible but my skin wasn't the type that could easily make a semi-out line.. I thought that even with an in-out line, it would definitely not come out with that polished look I wanted, so I left, thinking of it as an experience
ㄹㅂㄹ) Sinnonhyeon Epicanthoplasty + in-out line + natural adhesion They first listened to what line I wanted and what kind of feel I was hoping for, then the director drew the line When I said that if I went with an in-out line, I wanted to do canthoplasty too, the director recommended doing epicanthoplasty together because of my Mongolian fold But since I do have a nasal bridge, if it were opened too excessively, my eyes could end up looking too close together, so they said they would open only exactly as much as needed I was excited because I felt like I had met a director I could communicate with, so I asked about posterior and lower canthoplasty too But the director firmly advised against those parts They said I shouldn't be too greedy Even if I say I want to open this much, there is a possible range, and the director said they want to make it pretty within the best possible range.. So they don't recommend surgeries that don't really need to be done I liked the line they drew, and they said it was possible with natural adhesion, so I listened to the full cost explanation from the consultant and left The director also told me how to recover quickly after surgery Nothing major.. They said absolutely don't rub my eyes and to do ice packs well!
ㅂㄷㄴ) Apgujeong After lunch, I moved to Apgujeong This is off-topic, but.. how does everyone go to 3-4 places in one day? I get tired even after just two.. Anyway, here I heard about epicanthoplasty + in-out line + partial incision + ptosis correction Since the clinic earlier said I didn't need ptosis correction, I was a little taken aback but the director said my eye-opening strength is very weak They originally recommended an incisional method too, but when I said I was hesitant because it was my first surgery, they said doing partial incision and then consulting again on the day of surgery would also be good Since there are people who got ptosis correction done wrong and their eyes became too fierce-looking, I was worried, and the director said that if I want a more open, refreshed eye shape, doing it would be more effective I liked the line they drew here too, and for canthoplasty, like the earlier clinic, they said my eyes could look too close together, so let's open only a little so I could roughly estimate how the surgery should be done, but I'm debating because of the ptosis correction..
One director says ptosis correction will give a better effect, and one director says that as I age, my eyelids will naturally droop, so there is no need to use a card meant for the future early.. so I'm debating So I also wonder if it might be okay if I get ptosis correction naturally, but the more I think about it, the more complicated my head gets
If I keep thinking about it and still can't find an answer, I guess I'll go clinic-shopping some more
