I had consultations at two places around Sinnonhyeon Station and Gangnam Station
Eye condition:
Had an incisional double-eyelid surgery 20 years ago and the line is distinct The line gets buried around the inner corner of the eye, and only that part looks sausage-like I want to raise the line just a little bit more There is quite a big difference before and after drawing eyeliner When I draw eyeliner, it looks like an inner double eyelid (to me..) Seeing friends around me who had successful revision surgery because their double eyelids loosened or their lines got smaller made me want revision surgery..
1. ㄸㅋㅡ Director Kim Hyung-seok
Since the director was from Ilmili, I visited with high expectations
Arrived 15 minutes before my appointment time
Filled out the consultation form, took photos, had a consultation with the consultant, then waited for the director's consultation
Waited more than 1 hour until the director's consultation
Got a bit worn out while waiting
The director's consultation was about 15 minutes and he consulted sincerely
But he looked a bit busy and I felt like he was pressed by surgeries; he came quickly and left quickly
He said since my own eye line is distinct, raising the line from here would suddenly feel too much, but lowering the line to tidy the inner corner would not be satisfying
He said surgery would need to be done by incision, and whether to lower or raise the line was something I had to decide
So the final recommendation I received was sub-brow lift and fat grafting
Because if going in by incision, even if the line becomes higher it may become sausage-like and bother me, and even if the line becomes lower it may bother me. If doing a conservative sub-brow lift, the line would look clearer
Before the consultation, I was thinking by myself whether it would be incision or natural adhesion, but suddenly a lift.. Isn't sub-brow lift something I was supposed to save until my 60s... sob..
I thought my eyes were easy and went to my first consultation, then got a bit discouraged
Director has an expert vibe, looks busy
Consultant kind. Front desk so-so
Cost;
Sub-brow lift + fat grafting: low 3 million KRW Incisional revision surgery + upper epicanthoplasty: mid 4 million KRW
2. ㅇㅇㅋㅌ - Director Lee Seok-hyun
Compared to ㄸㅋ, the front desk staff were kinder and the clinic overall felt warm
Filled out consultation form - photo taking - consultant consultation - director consultation
Waited 30 minutes until the director's consultation
After looking at my eyes, he said there was no need to raise the line more
He said my eyes do not need major work right now, and if I want improvement in the buried inner corner, he recommended partial natural adhesion only at the inner corner
When I asked if I could just do the whole thing while doing the inner corner, he said full natural adhesion is also possible
He said since there is no need to make major changes to the line, there is no need to overdo it with incision
He comforted(??!) me saying I am not yet at the age for a lift, the sagging and hollowness are fine, and my eyes are good
He seems to be of the opinion that we should not touch too much
Just in case, I asked about additional surgeries, and he told me not to do ptosis correction, lateral canthoplasty, any of it for my eyes, which felt really refreshing
I had been curious whether I should or should not do them, and being told not to was satisfying
He said if it were for Instagram or broadcasting, they would raise the line and make it glamorous, but instead it would be burdensome in daily life, and he consulted with the nuance of, do you want to look pretty only for a moment when taking photos and suffer in everyday life? He seems to pursue naturalness
Director kind. Consultant kind. No pressure.
They said they intentionally do not do many surgeries in a day.
The surgery review scrapbook I saw while waiting really only had eyes
Cost;
Revision natural adhesion: high 1 million KRW
Total confusion because the two places recommended different surgical methods..
