Hi! I'm sharing reviews from 6 hospital consultations in Gangnam, Sinnonhyeon, and Apgujeong. Even though I had often been told I looked sleepy, I thought I looked okay once I put on makeup, so I just lived with it. But now that I'm getting older and losing fat too, it feels like my eyes are gradually losing strength. So I was planning to just get simple double eyelid surgery, but many doctors strongly recommended double eyelid surgery + ptosis correction. If I don't put strength into my eyes, my pupils don't show much, but if I do, my eyes open fully. I can open them without using my eyebrows, but if I keep putting strength into them, it gets tiring? 1. ㅇㄹㅌ Recommendation: ptosis correction + double eyelid surgery After reflecting my opinion: non-incisional ptosis correction + non-incisional double eyelid surgery (They said there is a possibility it could loosen), and they said we should match the line to about the left side (I think they recommended it because it seemed like the line I would be most used to even after surgery) Overall satisfied. 2. ㅇㅁㄹ Recommendation: incisional ptosis correction + incisional double eyelid surgery After reflecting my opinion: non-incisional ptosis correction + non-incisional double eyelid surgery. They said the line should be a little lower than my left eye. Eyelid fat grafting was also recommended, but they said I could consider it later. They told me the reason I look sleepy is that the line is thick, and that it should be proportionate to the eye size. I liked that they explained it with expertise. The consultation was also very sincere and kind. Overall satisfied. 3. ㅇㅁㄷ My friends all had successful buried-suture double eyelid surgeries there, so I booked a consultation and went after waiting about 5 weeks, but I felt they spoke overall uncertainly about the expected surgical result, so I don't think I'll go. 4. ㅇㅇㅂ Recommendation: ptosis correction + double eyelid surgery After reflecting my opinion: non-incisional double eyelid surgery + fat grafting recommended It felt like they perform safe and conservative surgeries. During the consultation, they tested various things for a long time and seemed to suggest a solution that reflected the patient's opinion well. When I said I didn't want ptosis correction, they recommended fat grafting. They said that because I don't have the fat that acts like lubricant in the eyes, the double eyelid becomes even more faint and it becomes harder to open my eyes. And (assuming I don't do ptosis correction and only do buried-suture surgery?) they said that without fat grafting, the line probably wouldn't form with double eyelid surgery alone. Overall satisfied.
