Eye Re-Surgery

Review of 3 clinics I visited for revision surgery

Last week I visited 4 clinics, and yesterday I visited 3 more!! I went to Apgujeong, Nonhyeon, and Sinsa, so I’m leaving a visit review:) 1. ㅇㄹ Plastic Surgery (single-doctor clinic) -Wait: Two people were ahead of me, and I waited about 30 minutes -Atmosphere: Quiet and neat feeling -Consultation fee: X -Anesthesia: Sleep anesthesia + local anesthesia -Price: Natural adhesion + eye correction + upper canthoplasty (low- to mid-2 million won range / review event price, discount for booking within February) -A/S: 3 years -Post-op care: swelling laser, swelling injections, scar laser, scar injections, etc. O It’s not a clinic that gets mentioned a ton, but the line in the reviews was exactly my taste and it seemed like swelling went down quickly, so I went in with some expectations! The staff and the doctor were all kind, and here they took a photo of my eyes with a camera, displayed it on a monitor, and explained things while measuring things like the distance from the pupil to the inner corner of the eye and the distance from the inner corner of one eye to the other on a computer They seemed to care a lot about symmetry I had an inner canthoplasty done when I had it done 10 years ago, but the inner canthoplasty lengths didn’t match, so they said maybe we should open one side more to make them even! But they said the canthoplasty was optional, so I didn’t have to do it I said I wanted the upper canthoplasty! 2. ㅂㅇㅇ Plastic Surgery, Director ㄱㅌㅎ -Wait: I was taken in almost right after filling out the chart -Atmosphere: Bright and neat feeling -Consultation fee: X -Anesthesia: Sleep anesthesia + local anesthesia, I think -Price: Natural adhesion + eye correction + upper canthoplasty (low 2 million won range / review event price) -A/S: 1 year -Post-op swelling laser unlimited for one month -CCTV with guardian watching in real time This was another place I expected a lot from because the lines in the reviews were super clean! Both of the doctors are Seoul National University graduates, and it’s written in huge letters right at the entrance.. The staff was kind and the doctor had a bright personality! They shaped the line very carefully, showing me this one is ~mm, this one is ~mm, and so on in different ways! But this is really personal, but... while they were shaping it, they got too close to me, so it felt a little overwhelming... Oh, and they said the buried suture + eye correction + upper canthoplasty surgery would finish within 30 minutes, so I thought, wow, does it really end that fast..? 3. ㅇㅎㅅ Plastic Surgery (single-doctor clinic) -Wait: No one was there, and I went in right after filling out the chart -Atmosphere: Small and calm feeling -Consultation fee: 5,000 won -Anesthesia: Sleep anesthesia + local anesthesia -Price: Natural adhesion + eye correction + upper canthoplasty (high 1 million won range / review event price) -A/S: I think it was 1 year... I lost the paper they gave me, so my memory is fuzzy -Post-op swelling care seemed to be available! It was the smallest place I visited so far, and the doctor didn’t seem very old, but the clinic atmosphere felt seasoned..! While shaping the line, they confidently said I didn’t have much fat in my eyes and my tissue quality is good, so it should turn out nicely, which made me feel reassured! Both the staff and the doctor were kind!! Over these two weeks I visited a total of 7 places: ㄴㅅㅎ, ㅇㅇㄴㅋ, ㅁㅂ, ㅇㅁㄷ, ㅇㄹ, ㅂㅇㅇ, and ㅇㅎㅅ, and I had originally booked ㅇㅁㄹ for today too, but I canceled because it seemed unnecessary to go..! (For ㅇㅁㄹ, if you cancel the day before or on the day, they say you’ll have to pay a 20,000 won consultation fee the next time you rebook) Among these, I liked ㅇㅇㄴㅋ and ㅇㄹ the most, so I really worried a lot.. Both of them shaped the line in a way I liked, and when I searched through review photos, more than 85% matched the line I wanted, and it seemed like swelling was relatively minimal too! But ㅇㅇㄴㅋ is an eye-specialist clinic, so I was even more torn.. For me, ㅇㅇㄴㅋ and ㅇㄹ felt pretty similar So I booked surgery at ㅇㄹ, the single-doctor clinic, for the week after next because it was a little cheaper..!! I really hope the line turns out cleanly... If I can, I’ll come back with a review!!!
