I went around to a total of 9 places for consultations because I want to get under-eye fat repositioning.. It took almost a month, and after narrowing it down again and again, I’m going to decide between 2 places! So far I’ve been to Woori, And, Sinsa L, Right Hand, O Skin, Iris, Hambaknun, Hanmi, and Objet.. Wow, I really went to a lot.. hahaha Anyway, while getting consultations at those places, I looked up how I felt and other reviews, and I’m going to make my final decision between Right Hand and Hanmi! Both have a similar feel and don’t do fat grafting, but since my under-eye troughs are deep and I don’t have much fat volume, they recommended fat grafting for my eyes.. Still, I don’t want to do fat grafting, so I’m keeping those two as my final candidates and thinking it over! Hanmi is roughly 400,000 to 500,000 won more expensive, and the directors’ styles are also a bit different.. Looking at reviews, both are really half-and-halfㅠㅜ So I’m so tornㅠㅠ If you or someone you know has had surgery at either one.. please help me decideㅜㅠ The attached file is my own summary of the two hospitals! Everyone, where would you go and lie down..?
고양이웨이브 I had consultations at both, and I didn’t like either. Right Hand wasn’t great because recovery takes a long time and it uses external fixation.. Hanmi wasn’t great because the doctor’s personality seemed strange and I felt like aftercare/revision wouldn’t be possible
HJJE [@고양이웨이브] Really?ㅠ I heard Right Hand does both external fixation and internal fixation, so the fixation is betterㅠㅠ I think I know what you mean about Hanmi’s doctor having a strange personality hahaha
고양이웨이브 [@HJJE] But I don’t get what exactly they’re fixing in place.. They open the fat pocket and flatten it out, and even if they don’t fix it, it’s not like it just moves somewhere else. ㅇㅇㅅ says all kinds of flashy things like fixing an entire blood vessel in place.. or dissecting somewhere around the eye skin.. What’s good about dissection? Isn’t sagging after facial contouring caused by dissection? I had under-eye fat repositioning and also had full-face fat grafting, and even without anything like fixation during fat grafting, the fat stays in that spot.. lol I also had under-eye fat repositioning done with dissolvable sutures and had no problems at all.
HJJE [@고양이웨이브] Ah.. I heard they open the pocket, move the fat inside downward, and fix that in place.. But now that you mention dissection in facial contouring, that also sounds right..ㅠㅠㅠ They did say they use the same dissolvable sutures.. But hearing this makes me hesitate a bit again..ㅠㅠ
아스피날 I’m 2 weeks post-op at ㅇㅇㅅ, but honestly... I’m still not sure. I also chose it based only on stability without fat grafting and trusted the director, but I’ll know once more swelling goes down. For now, I still have some troughs left... I don’t feel like there’s a big difference from before. It’s a bit awkward for someone only 2 weeks out to judge, but... just in case, I’ve already looked into revision hospitals in advance
HJJE [@아스피날] Oh no.. revision..ㅠㅠ I also saw the post you uploaded!ㅠㅠ Ahㅠㅠ I’m really torn now..ㅠㅜ I was going to contact them tomorrow and make a reservationㅠㅠ Since it’s still like that at 2 weeksㅜㅜ you must be really stressedㅠㅠ If it’s okay, could you tell me which other hospitals you looked into..?ㅜㅜ
아스피날 [@HJJE] But they do say Right Hand has swelling that lasts longer than other places because it uses external fixation... I just looked in the mirror again, and the line does seem a bit lighter than yesterday. But since there’s nothing I can do right now anyway, I’m just in waiting modeㅠㅠ Rather than calling it revision, Right Hand did do the repositioning properly in the traditional way... so if the line near the aegyo area still hasn’t gone away after a few months, or if I’m not satisfied with the current trough situation... I might go to a place that’s good at fat grafting...
HJJE [@아스피날] Rightㅜㅠ I also saw that the swelling lasts a long timeㅠ After going around 9 places, that place kept staying on my mind, but now I’m hesitant again.. I sincerely hope it keeps getting betterㅠㅠ Thank you so much for replying!!ㅠㅠ
걱정금지금지 I’m having a similar concern as youㅠㅠ Which place do you think you’ll choose??
HJJE [@걱정금지금지] I made a reservation to go for a second consultation at Right Hand this Wednesday and decide after thatㅠㅠ
ijijiiijll Wow, you really worked hard going clinic-hopping. I’ve only been to one place so far I should go around diligently too ㅠㅠ What’s the reason you don’t want fat grafting???
아스피날 [@HJJE] The end of week 4... now that it’s almost all back to normal, the result is showing. As expected, it seems like this surgery needs time
HJJE [@아스피날] Oh!! Really?!! Wow, that’s such a relief!!ㅠㅠ Recovery really does take a long time..ㅠㅠ Then are you a bit satisfied with the result now??
HJJE [@ijijiiijll] I’ve seen a lot about how even repositioning alone can have side effects, so I’m scared, and when I think about fat-grafting side effects too, it’s even scarier.. lololol
흐림이 [@아스피날] How is it after waiting about 4 weeks?? Do you recommend the hospital?
흐림이 I went to Olheunson too, and when I told them what other hospitals had said during consultations, he got extremely angry... It seemed like he takes pride in doing the traditional surgical method(?) They say a second consultation costs 100,000 won or something. So did you book the surgery then?
eugisks You went to a lot of consultations. Where did you end up doing it??
하트크롬밈 It’s not for my under-eye area, but I’m thinking of getting my mom’s eyes done.. How was the atmosphere at Iris and Hambangnun hospitals?? In terms of the doctor and the staff’s service,,!
HJJE [@하트크롬밈] Aha! At both Iris and Hambangnun, the doctors were really nice! Especially Hambangnun seemed to do a lot of cases mainly for middle-aged patients! They said their mother, I think, had surgery there directly too lol. The consultation manager at Iris felt a bit stiff, and the doctor was the warm type? It felt comfortable! The consultation manager at Hambangnun also felt exactly in the middle, not unfriendly but not especially kind either, more like only saying what was necessary, and the doctor explained things in detail and kindly answered everything when I asked questions! That’s about what I remember! Hope it helps a bit!
라이너 [@아스피날] How is it now?
쿠에엑 How was the director at Hanmi?? I am not looking into under-eye fat repositioning, but my mom's eyes, and I am wondering what the director is like..ㅠ
HJJE [@쿠에엑] The director has reeeeeally strong pride!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He said he could definitely do it well and promised, and he emphasized the word "promise" a lot!ㅌㅋㅋㅋ That was a bit funny, but anyway, he seemed like someone with a lot of pride and very high confidence! It looked like he also does a lot of surgeries for middle-aged people! It would be good to get a consultation once!
주곤더 Did you decide where to do it?ㅠㅠ I am worrying about something similar too.
레오천사 I put down a reservation deposit at ㅅ ㅅ ㅇ today, but I am really worried.
HJJE [@레오천사] Oh! So you are doing it there!! Once you have decided, trust them and leave it to them! I did mine somewhere else, but once I actually did it, I wondered why I had been so worried!ㅋㅋㅋ
뽀야몽 Oh, I am in the same situation as youㅠ So could I ask where you ended up doing it and whether you are satisfied? I also do not want fat grafting, but my skin is thin, my tear troughs are deep, and there is not much fat to reposition, so I am worriedㅠ
언젠가는우리 Could I ask where you did it and how it is now? I am also deciding between Olheunson and Hanmi.. Olheunson does not have many reviews, and I also see posts saying it came undone. Hanmi's consultation was really not good, but there are also many evaluations saying the results turned out well.. I wonder if I should do it somewhere else entirely.. My mind keeps going back and forth.
