I had it done in Apgujeong. At the time, I saw my friend's result and went because it looked natural.
My friend had it done with partial incision? I had buried suture method. + epicanthoplasty too.
The director slightly discouraged the epicanthoplasty (something like, "I think it would be prettier if you just didn't do it?") But my eyes were wide-set, so I really wanted epicanthoplasty. I asked, "Wouldn't it look prettier if I do it?" and he said, "Okay, then." So I ended up getting epicanthoplasty too.
And as a result, it went well in terms of the line not looking obvious. Even when I close my eyes, the line really doesn't show and looks natural.
But these days people say epicanthoplasty looks pretty when it is done upward, right? (Back then, there weren't many ads like that, so I thought all epicanthoplasty was basically the same.) I was the type who had thought a lot about the design before going in, so when they were putting in the design, I asked so much for the epicanthoplasty to be done upward. But I don't think they really listen carefully to each patient's personal requests. The doctor isn't a bad person and has a very straightforward personality, but he is seriously, seriously busy!! I think it's just an environment where that isn't possible. Before surgery, when they set the shape, there really isn't time to recheck or ask, "Is this okay?" The doctor just does it in a flash, then runs out because there is no time..... And while I was waiting for surgery, I thought the epicanthoplasty area looked asymmetric? After really debating it, I told the person at the desk, and they said the doctor must have adjusted it to fit my eyes on his own... So in the end, the epicanthoplasty wasn't done upward and was more parallel? I guess. As time passed, it gradually drooped and became slightly hook-shaped ㅠㅠ I really hated that.
Anyway, there was no epicanthoplasty scar at all, and no buried-line wound at all either, so at the time it was really pretty, (now it's not as good as back then...) and someone around me got it done right away too.
And there is still no issue at all with the upper part, but there is a problem where the upper mucous membrane is slightly everted, so it bothers me a bit. Is it called lifted eyelashes? It's not that severe, so I'm not thinking about revision surgery, but it's the kind of state where other people don't notice and only I care about it....
Oh, but the acquaintance who got it done right after seeing me had no problem. Same with the friend who had it done before me.
Even if you get it done at the same place like this, results vary by person. Anyway, you really need to think a lot before getting double eyelid surgery. I was young back then, so I didn't think much about it, but looking at it now, I think double eyelids may actually be harder to touch again than the nose. They say buried sutures are hard to remove unless you make an incision, and epicanthoplasty reconstruction is, needless to say, difficult.
Anyway, to summarize the clinic itself, I don't know how it is now, but: 1. It comes out clean without scars or incision lines, so it really looks natural. 2. They tend to design naturally.. I asked for a thicker line, but they said no, a thinner line would be more natural. They also don't really recommend epicanthoplasty. (But maybe they don't recommend epicanthoplasty because they aren't good at it?) 3. They don't recommend many procedures and only recommend what is necessary. I wondered if I needed ptosis correction, but they said I didn't need it. 3. They are so, so, so busy that there isn't enough time to design carefully. In short, feedback doesn't work. The process from design to surgery is too fast, and they don't ask again or anything, so only the patient is left restless. Should I say something.. or not...
