My mom’s eyelids were drooping, so we went to 6 plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam, and every director recommended something different
<Objet> I went because the reviews on Naver ㅇㅇㅇ were so good. They recommended upper blepharoplasty + ptosis correction The director was kind, but it seemed like they hadn’t been working there long, so we passed
<Kim Hyung Jin> We also went here through a recommendation on Naver ㅇㅇㅇ, and they similarly recommended upper blepharoplasty + ptosis correction
From here on, I searched in a community and went
<Sketch> We were recommended upper blepharoplasty, and they said my mom’s eye-opening strength wasn’t bad, so she didn’t need ptosis correction The director and consultant were extremely kind, but they said Sketch had only been open for 2 years, so we gave up
<Sinsa El> When I searched, this place seemed to specialize in middle-aged eyes. The director was very confident, and even looking at review photos, their upper blepharoplasty looked the most natural. But it was the most expensive We were recommended upper blepharoplasty and fat removal They additionally recommended fat grafting for the hollow area in the middle of the eyes It was my favorite among the consultations, so I was about to decide, but because my mom is older, I was worried her eye-opening strength might decline in the future, so I wanted to get ptosis correction for her. But the director said it was pseudoptosis and didn’t need to be done, and if we added ptosis correction too, the cost was scary We decided to get consultations at a few more places
<Sisun> Their reputation was good, and when I looked at review photos on the website, the double eyelid scars looked the least noticeable, so I trusted them and went for a consultation Even though we went on a weekday afternoon, there were many young women waiting For the first time, the director recommended a brow lift, so my mom and I were shocked... The director said upper blepharoplasty is not a good procedure because it cuts the delicate skin below Since every clinic so far had recommended upper blepharoplasty, I kept talking about upper blepharoplasty, and then they said we should do both brow lift and upper blepharoplasty Brow lift + upper blepharoplasty (including ptosis correction) + fat grafting to the hollow areas (fat grafting from the thigh) I really liked it, so I decided on Sisun, but we had one last appointment to visit
<Zel> I went without expectations, and maybe because there was a consultation fee, we were the only customers But the director’s explanation was the best They said if you do upper blepharoplasty, the impression becomes harsh, so upper blepharoplasty alone is strongly not recommended We were recommended a brow lift, fat grafting to the hollow areas, and if there was room in the budget, an endoscopic forehead lift I had heard they specialize in forehead lifts, but after hearing the director’s explanation, I really wanted to get the forehead lift done There was an event price for lower brow lift + fat grafting + endoscopic forehead lift The director said that if she did the forehead lift too, she would look 10 years younger, so even though I said I would pay for it, my mom decided to first do the lower brow lift and fat grafting, then think about it later
After hospital consultations, since my mom is 70, I thought if she got double eyelids, there might be a lot of scarring, and she has severe dry eyes, so it might get worse. So we decided to do only a brow lift and fat grafting, and if that isn’t enough, do upper blepharoplasty or a forehead lift later I liked Zel the most because the director explained things so well, but they said more than 70% of patients come through acquaintance referrals rather than the internet, so there aren’t many reviews. Also, for fat grafting, all the other places recommended thigh fat grafting (they said abdominal fat is lower quality and shouldn’t be used), but only Zel recommended abdominal fat (they said thigh fat is firm and clumps). Looking at premium reviews, there are too many negative recommendations, so it seems difficult
Sisun recommended a brow lift and seems skilled because they specialize in eye surgery, but looking at premium reviews, about 40% are negative recommendations. It’s a single-director clinic, but there are many people, so there seem to be people who do well, but also many who are dissatisfied I guess I need to do more legwork on whether to do brow lift or upper blepharoplasty. Please recommend hospitals that are good at middle-aged eye surgery!!
