Gangnam Community Review

A place widely known for only doing buried-suture procedures. While waiting, I saw people who had finished their consultations leaving with bright laughter, so I thought the atmosphere really was as good as people said. I briefly discussed my current concerns, goals, and desired direction with the coordinator, then consulted with the doctor. Both of them were extremely kind, calling me “Ms. ___” and so on, T_T. As rumored, the doctor was as gentle as a pediatrician. At other clinics, the atmosphere was somewhat intimidating… I had to gather the courage to ask questions and say what I wanted first. Here, the doctor first analyzed my eyes, explained the advantages of the buried-suture method and how they might change after surgery, then asked whether I had any questions. I felt the communication was good. For reference, the doctor said that unlike incision surgery, the buried-suture method usually turns out according to the crease marked before surgery, making it easier to predict the postoperative result. When I asked about information doctors had mentioned on YouTube, the doctor said that knowledge was not important and seemed not to like it, lol. When I asked about the doctor’s surgical method, the doctor said that was a good question. - Four stitches - The doctor said that if coming to the clinic was convenient because home was nearby, they would close the wound with sutures; if home was far away, they would not suture and would use taping. - Non-absorbable sutures used (the doctor said, “Anyone who uses absorbable sutures is a fraud.”) The atmosphere was so good that when I was leaving, the doctor even nagged me to stop watching YouTube, lol. After leaving the doctor’s office, I talked with the coordinator for about another minute. The surgery took 40 minutes. There was absolutely no pressure to pay a deposit; they said to call anytime once I decided. The price was nearly twice that of the clinic where I had already paid a deposit, so I only had a consultation here, but if I had had more time, I think I would have had the surgery here. If you are deliberating over buried-suture surgery, be sure to visit this place while comparing clinics! Ask everything you are curious about; I think it will also help when you visit other clinics.
