1 place I found through clinic-hopping, 2 places recommended by acquaintances Originally I was only going to go to the place I found myself, but since I was already out, I thought I might as well visit them all at once, so I hurriedly booked the other 2 places. (I don’t know whether the long waits at the latter two places are normally like that, or whether they were long because I booked last-minute.)
ㅂㅂ -> upper epicanthoplasty + double-eyelid surgery Maybe because I booked in advance, I didn’t wait much. It could also have been because it was morning. They took photos first and explained while looking at the photos. I felt a bit disappointed because I had prepared too little. They consulted with me while setting the double-eyelid line. The consultant was kind and made the consultation comfortable. They said there is some kind of postoperative care after double-eyelid surgery. They kindly explained what I was curious about in a way that was easy to understand. There was no pressure at all to have surgery. The disappointing thing about this hospital was that, although they advertised something called eye BTI, they didn’t do it for me..
I don’t have much to say about this hospital because it was my first consultation and I was too unprepared.. I only remember that overall it was just average…
Consultation fee: X Deposit: O
ㅇㅇㅂ -> anterior epicanthoplasty, upper epicanthoplasty + fat removal above the eyes + ptosis correction + double-eyelid surgery There are quite a few forms to fill out. There were a lot of people (more men than women), many doctors, and the staff had a lot to do, so it felt a bit chaotic. Same-day consultation booking was possible. The consultation was very kind (the kindest of all the places I visited). They explained each method one by one. They also asked if there were any additional surgeries I wanted. The wait time was long overall. Unusually, they did not take eye photos. The consultation was really thorough and sincere. They didn’t limit the explanation to just the eyes; they connected it with the nose while explaining the procedures needed. (e.g., Your nose is high and pretty, but because the distance between the eyes is a bit wide, it doesn’t look that high. If you open the front slightly, it will look like you had nose surgery even without doing it.) However, among the 3 hospitals I visited, they suggested the most procedures.. And the wait was the longest.. There was no pressure to book surgery.

ㅇㅈ -> anterior epicanthoplasty, upper epicanthoplasty + ptosis correction + double-eyelid surgery Same-day consultation booking was possible. Just getting to the hospital was draining. (Issue: the elevator didn’t come easily.) They took photos, and the consultant spoke with me first. Among the 3 places, I think this was the shortest consultation. There were really a lot of people. The director recommended by my acquaintance had quite a few people requesting them, so the wait time was somewhat long.
When I consulted with the director, they did recommend upper epicanthoplasty and ptosis correction, but said they didn’t seem absolutely necessary and that buried-suture double-eyelid surgery alone might be enough. After the director left and the consultant came back in, the consultant kept saying ptosis correction was absolutely necessary. Because of the issue that the director and consultant said different things, my trust dropped.. I felt a slight pressure to set a surgery date. When I asked about postoperative care, they said there wasn’t any. Overall, it was a consultation where I kept feeling pressure to book surgery, so I was completely drained.
Consultation fee X Deposit: I don’t know because they kept trying to get me to book that day, so I came out as if escaping.
