1. ㄱㄹㄷ(Director Lee H.J.) Buried suture method 649,000 won (+ recommended ptosis correction 500,000 won) / CCTV available but viewing not allowed / no special aftercare / said a simple non-incisional surgery would probably be enough, so maybe because of that the consultation time was short too
2. ㄱㄹㄷ(Director Kim H.S.) Buried suture method 900,000 won (+ recommended ptosis correction, fat removal, epicanthoplasty 1,600,000 won) / same hospital as no. 1, no re-consultation fee / I had a consultation with the more famous chief director, and they definitely looked at what the issues with my eyes were for a long time. Because of that, there were many recommended procedures, but at the end they said that if I wanted, my eyes would still be okay with just the buried suture method, so I was tempted (like they would operate in the best possible direction for the issues using only buried sutures?) / among all the hospitals I went to, the consultant at this hospital was the nicest / no emphasis on same-day booking
3. ㄸㅋ(Director Kim H.S.) Buried suture method + upper epicanthoplasty 1,300,000 won / I remember it as a hospital where the director and consultant had strong opinions. The price was high too, the director looked too busy, and the wait was long by my standards, so I left without asking many questions / no emphasis on same-day booking
4. ㅇㄴ(Director Kim S.H.) Buried suture method 649,000 won (+ upper epicanthoplasty 449,000 won) / aftercare was well organized here / the director knew well what eyelid lines are preferred these days and was confident they could make the line from the photos I brought / there was pressure about same-day booking, so my trust in the consultation dropped
5. ㄴㅅㅎ(Son O.O.) Partial incision 1,100,000 won / among the places I consulted, aftercare and 3-year AS were best organized here / this was the place with the longest consultation time. They looked at the line in detail and recommended a realistic surgery. But since I strongly wanted to avoid an incision for my first surgery, I asked for the buried suture method, but they said buried sutures would be difficult, so that was a bit disappointing / there was some emphasis on same-day booking, but they didn’t push too hard
For reference, every hospital drew a line for me, but I think the line they draw and the result on surgery day will be different, so unless the line drawing was strangely done, I didn’t care too much
For now, I’m definitely excluding ㄸㅋ and ㄴㅅㅎ, and I’m deciding between the chief director at ㄱㄹㄷ and ㅇㄴ. But with ㅇㄴ, I feel a bit uneasy because they emphasized same-day booking too much and there was subtle pressure saying not many appointment slots were left, so I think I need to think about it
I’m scheduled for a consultation at ㅇㄹㅇ, so I plan to go there and decide, or go to about two or three more places on Saturday and decide!! If you have anything you’re curious about, you can ask~
