The doctor I consulted with at H.D.M.H Plastic Surgery was Dr. J.J.Y, and I had a consultation for eye surgery. My eyes are extremely uneven, so I went to H.D.M.H Plastic Surgery for a consultation, and the front desk staff were not especially outstandingly kind, but they weren’t bad either. I waited in the lobby for about 15 minutes, then went in for a consultation with the manager. But during the consultation, they had already realized it was eye surgery, and asked me whether I had come to see a doctor who specializes in eyes. I was a little flustered. The reason I was flustered was that I thought they would just connect me with an eye-surgery specialist doctor automatically.... When I looked at the website, it didn’t seem like there were that many doctors, so I assumed they were divided by specialty by area. Honestly, since the surgery I need is double eyelid surgery and correction for uneven eyes, I only looked at the doctors and surgical methods listed on the hospital website. To be honest, when we look at a plastic surgery clinic website, unless it explicitly says a doctor specializes only in eyes like B.W. or G.R.S., we don’t go in expecting to know in detail which doctor is best at eye surgery. So I told the manager I wanted a doctor who specializes only in eyes, and went back to the lobby to wait about 10 minutes. Then the manager said we could go meet the eye specialist doctor, so we went upstairs. After going up, the consultation with the doctor began. The doctor was very decisive and gave a thorough, logical consultation. I had gone there because one of my natural double eyelids had loosened and the other had disappeared, and I wanted to recreate the natural double eyelid I originally had. What impressed me was that the doctor drew directly on my eye and personally designed it while trying to understand exactly what kind of double eyelid I wanted. I have a double-eyelid crease on the inner side of both eyes. Originally, the line extended outward from that crease as well, but as I grew up, the right eye only had a faint line left on the inner-side baseline for the double eyelid, and the rest of the line disappeared. The left eye had a crease about 4 mm high on the inner side, deeper, darker, and longer than the right eye, and originally the double eyelid line should have connected based on that crease. But as with the right eye, the left eye did not lose the line completely as it grew; instead, the double eyelid on the inner-side baseline went past that line on its own. So while the left eye still had that inner 4 mm line, a double eyelid line was formed above it at about 8 to 9 mm, and with the 9 mm line being set there, a secondary crease formed. When I tried to line it up again so it would connect based on the 4 mm line, after blinking a few times it would again settle at 8 to 9 mm, or the double eyelid line would disappear entirely, leaving only the inner 4 mm line, then connect again to the original natural inner-side baseline, then disappear again, and most of the time it would settle around the 8 to 9 mm line. Then it would loosen again and settle as an 8 to 9 mm double eyelid line higher up, and when the higher crease formed, a folded crease appeared so the eye shape looked strange. The line keeps changing on its own all the time. So I asked the doctor about this, and the doctor said they could make the double eyelid however I wanted, and that if the line were set slightly above 4 mm, it would naturally flatten out along the 4 mm line, just like the principle of folding clothes or paper. The doctor explained it logically, saying something like, 'I folded the clothes like this now; if I fold them upward again, the lower part straightens out.' But other hospitals said it wouldn’t flatten, while this hospital and G.R.S. said it would, so I was a bit confused. Then, because I kept asking and the consultation was getting long, the manager beside us tried to cut it short, but Dr. J.J.Y made a hand gesture to the manager to stay still and answered everything I asked, which left a strong impression on me. And although the consultation overall was good, there was no mention of eye-muscle correction until near the very end, when I asked whether I needed it. Without even looking, they said I needed it, but they didn’t explain why I needed it, which felt a bit unsettling. When I went back down to the lobby, the manager said the doctor was a bone-surgery doctor, so their touch was delicate. That made me think, 'Wait, not eye surgery but bone surgery?? Then were they a specialist in bone surgery??' And when I was about to go home, I realized I had forgotten to ask something important: if the result loosens, what happens? They said they provide free aftercare for one year, so I asked whether I would have to pay and have the surgery again if it loosened after one year, and they said there would probably be some adjustment. Honestly, one year feels too short.... Then at home I searched the internet and was surprised to see that Dr. J.J.Y has a very impressive background, but it turns out this doctor specializes in facial contouring. When they were at B.K.Y.D.Y Plastic Surgery, I believe they were a doctor who specialized in facial contouring, not eyes, so I’m hesitating a lot. I want surgery from a doctor who only specializes in eyes, but when you go to a plastic surgery consultation, there are doctors who handle almost every area, right? But at H.D.M.H, Dr. J.J.Y felt more like someone whose main focus is facial contouring, with eyes and nose as secondary areas. Conclusion: Has anyone had eye surgery done by Dr. J.J.Y at H.D.M.H?? Is this doctor good at double eyelid surgery and eye surgery??? I have a double-eyelid crease about 4 mm high on the inner side, and originally the double eyelid line was connected based on that crease. But as the years passed, it kept wandering above that 4 mm inner-side baseline on its own, and sometimes the double eyelid would disappear too, while the inner-side eyelid line always remained. When the line sits above the inner 4 mm crease, the inner crease stays there and a line forms above it, creating a secondary crease, which looks so ugly and makes my eyes look really strange. I’m so stressed I honestly want to die. But at other hospitals, some say it’s too low and won’t work, and even if it’s set higher, that line won’t disappear; other hospitals say it will flatten but not completely. But G.R.S. and H.D.M.H say it will flatten, and at G.R.S. they say if it flattens but not completely, they’ll use a laser to flatten it perfectly. If the double eyelid line is set higher, does the double eyelid on the inner side really flatten for sure?? And honestly, if another hospital sets it as low as about 4 mm, which is what I want, they say there’s a high chance it will loosen again. Is the risk of loosening really that high??????? Then isn’t a one-year aftercare period way too short??? Right now I’m seriously torn between G.R.S. and K.D. At K.D., the female doctor didn’t give me a consultation that really clicked, but she did try to find a solution, and I feel like if I have surgery, she would carefully design it for however long it takes, exactly the way I want. But since they specialize in petit procedures, I still feel uneasy. I saw one post saying their surgical machine is borrowed from another hospital too, and what feels certain is that the anesthesiology doctor is also working as the anesthesiology doctor at M.T Plastic Surgery, at O.O.P.Y.S Plastic Surgery, and at Charles Plastic Surgery, which makes me feel a bit uneasy. But the 2-year aftercare period also appeals to me, and has anyone here had eye surgery at K.D???
