Eye Re-Surgery

Now it seems my 14-spot eye revision search is finally done

I just visited ㅇㅁㄹ at the end... I went to see Dr. ㄷㅇㄹ. Among the 14 places, this one had the most people and the waiting time was really long. Even though it was a weekday, it took a little over 3 hours to finish consultation... I waited while watching dramas, got so hungry, and it was a mess Still, the staff were kind, and the senior coordinator also seemed to have real experience. I finally got to see the doctor after a long wait, and although the consultation didn’t seem to be over 10 minutes, I was satisfied because he first checked my eyes open/closed and said, "The main issue is deep scars from deep fixation." That was good, and more importantly, he said that 11 of the 14 areas are not absolutely mandatory to do eye-shape correction. I had already assumed I would do eye-shape correction, but he said it is not required here, and that my eyes don’t look excessively sleepy, so it should be my own choice. So I said I’d think it over first. For the canthal work, it sounded like they usually do secondary canthoplasty together with lower-canthal canthoplasty in almost all places except one. I honestly wondered whether I really needed the lower-canthal step, but when I told him, he touched exactly the point I was worried about. He also said he usually does a lot of lower-canthal canthoplasty together, but for my eyes, secondary canthoplasty alone may be enough and doing lower-canthal surgery could even look odd. So I felt like I got the answer I wanted. And for the line, he asked me to choose between in-line and in/out-line, and said if I choose in/out-line I’d need an upper canthoplasty. When I asked his opinion, he said in-line would be fine too. Then I asked about the forehead-lift I had heard from other hospitals, and he answered honestly, which was good. After a short, dense consultation, I then had the last senior-coordinator consultation, where she said to boldly drop eye-shape correction, saying even celebrities with this amount of iris coverage sometimes don’t correct it. So I got the feeling I might not need it. Post-op care also seems to be careful and thorough. So I paid the deposit and made a date and came out. Right now I’m deciding between ㄱㄴ, ㅇㅇㅋㅇ, and ㅇㅁㄹ, but I feel my heart is mostly leaning to ㅇㅁㄹ. It was really hard after going back and forth in Seoul over a month, but my decision feels almost made now I’ll think for just a few more hours and then decide fully.
