This is my in-person consultation review for revision surgery on eyes that had loosened. My double eyelids had partially come undone, leaving a double fold, and one side of the line was a little higher, so it looked like a sausage, which is why I got a consultation for revision surgery. After doing online research, I visited six clinics in person, and I really think you only get the feeling once you go, so I recommend actually going out and seeing them for yourself.
1. Director ㅇㅇㅋㅌ ㅇㅅㅎ The director was very friendly during the consultation. They used informal speech mixed in, and I found it warm and fine. Probably a matter of taste? When I said I wanted to take photos of the line, they adjusted it several times, and it felt like they were listening to my opinions as much as possible while recommending what suited me, saying plastic surgery is for personal satisfaction.
Lower the line and do an incision to make it close to an in-line/in-out line Not ptosis, but since the right eye's opening strength is a little weak, a slight correction of the eye-opening muscles would make it more defined Canthoplasty at the outer corner is possible if desired / lower canthoplasty not needed Inner corner canthoplasty is not recommended if you do not want scars
Stitches removed after 7 days Sleep anesthesia for 5 minutes / wake up to set the line Swelling laser available on visit / unlimited Review discount: reviews can be written for one clinic only, in free format, with a consultation review plus one review within 3 months, total 2 entries Deposit 10% / free cancellation until 2 weeks before Aftercare support for 2 years / after 1 year, anesthesia fee applies Re-consultation fee: 10,000 won
2. Director ㅇㅍㅌㄴ ㄱㄱㄹ The director examined me by feeling my forehead strength and various parts around the eyes, then explained what they found. They also set the line several times to show me, and while showing photos of various cases, explained why that kind of line was needed. It felt like they recommended the line they thought suited me best. They run a cafe/community, so looking into it there is helpful, and they seem very serious about aftercare.
If you want a dramatic change, brow lift is recommended If you only want the eyes done, a natural in-line incision with eye-opening muscle correction (the current line is a bit high) Because the eye-opening strength is weak, eye-opening muscle correction is needed No need for outer/lower canthoplasty; just setting the line will widen it
Stitches removed after 5 days Wake up after initial sleep anesthesia to set the line Review discount: one review only, free format Aftercare support for 1 year / 50% up to 2 years Swelling laser and bruise cream provided without limits Only 2 surgeries per day Reservation deposit 10%; if canceled, the deposit is converted to another procedure (not refunded as cash, but possible until the day before)
3. Director ㅇㄴㅋ ㅇㅈㅎ The director looked very tired, and their manner of explaining the surgery method felt a bit blunt? They asked if I had questions, but somehow it felt hard to ask them. The manager was very kind.
Incisional eye-opening correction + fat repositioning above the eyes To correct the double fold, fat from another area has to be brought over and repositioned into the adhered area
Surgery time: 1.5 hours Stitches removed on day 7 2 years free aftercare support Unlimited aftercare Review event: write one review at one clinic only, free format, one time
4. Director ㅇㅇㅍ ㄱㅊㅁ They set the line many times, looked at it up close and also looked at my whole face, and examined it very carefully. Based on the overall impression, they recommended that an inner corner canthoplasty would make the eyes look much fresher and prettier. They explained the reasons for recommendations and non-recommendations in detail for every question. It felt like the line was being set more in the direction I wanted than by their own judgment.
Both non-incisional and incisional are possible If recommending one, incisional is recommended Eye-opening muscle correction is optional / it makes the eyes more defined if done Outer/lower canthoplasty is possible but not recommended (no major change) Inner corner canthoplasty is recommended again / no need to worry about extra scarring. Upper-side scars may actually improve
2 years free aftercare support Anesthesia: sleep + local Surgery time: 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours Aftercare: unlimited swelling laser and eye ointment Scar injections (scar management provided) Stitches removed after 5-7 days 1-month and 6-month follow-up, dressing the day after surgery Review writing at 1, 3, 6 months + Naver post review; no format restrictions Deposit 10% 100% refund until one week before Re-consultation fee: 30,000 won (this lowered my favorability a bit)
5. Director ㅇㅁㄹ ㄱㅎㅈ As soon as I sat down, they analyzed my eyes and told me which line would suit me. The director has very strong personal opinions, so this seems suitable for people who want a director-led, no-fuss approach. Usually people say eye-opening muscle correction is optional, but here they firmly said it wasn't necessary. In fact, I went asking about non-incisional surgery, because it seemed like most people there did natural adhesion plus upper canthoplasty, but I was surprised they firmly recommended incisional surgery. They also recommended against canthoplasty. It helps a lot with making a decision, so I recommend going if you can handle waiting. The director seemed busy.
Only incisional double eyelid surgery is recommended Eye-opening muscle correction can be done if you want, but it isn't necessary / canthoplasty isn't necessary either The line should be closer to an in-line line to look fresh / if you want to raise it to an in-out line, brow lift would be needed, so the focus is on making the eyes look fresh with an in-line
Line check and stitch removal after one week -> if there is a problem after line check, early revision surgery within 1-2 weeks 1 year aftercare support Sleep anesthesia then local anesthesia Unlimited aftercare provided for everything Review event: review after one month, three months? I don't remember exactly (about 2 times) Reservation deposit 100,000 won / 90% refund until one week before No manager available during weekday daytime / 1 hour wait for the director / wait again when meeting the manager after seeing the director --> I was worried because the waiting time had a bad reputation, but it was shorter than I expected, and the manager apologized for taking up my time
6. Director ㅌㅂ ㅈㅎㅇ Incisional eye-opening correction recommended Outer/lower canthoplasty possible For the front part, a thin in-out line is recommended If surgery is done, bring photos of the shape you want and they will reflect it as much as possible The outer/lower canthoplasty review event is half-price discount, five times per platform -> the consultation with the director was fine, but I passed on it because of this
I visited a total of 6 clinics in person, excluded places that strongly insisted on eye-opening correction, and I'm currently deciding between ㅇㅇㅋㅌ, ㅇㅇㅍ, and ㅇㅁㄹ I also really struggled when doing online research, so I hope this helps.
