1-Month Review: Male Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery + Ptosis Correction + Lateral/Lower Canthoplasty

Hospital where I had surgery: Leo Plastic Surgery Clinic (single-doctor clinic)Surgeon’s name: Director Lee Chi-anDirector’s aesthetic goal: natural beautySurgical procedures: incisional inner double eyelid + ptosis correction + lateral/lower canthoplastyPrice range: between average and expensive[Reason I had surgery]My eyes looked plain but had a strong, distinctive look, and when I lowered my head and looked upward, the outer corners of my eyes turned upward, giving me a fierce impression, so I decided to have surgery.[Reason I chose this hospital]Maybe because the director had opened the clinic not long ago, I could feel sincerity and genuine care. Even though it was only a consultation and not the surgical planning stage, he generously took the time to consult with me. Also, he did not feel like a business-minded doctor at a large hospital who gives brief consultations just to increase patient turnover. He was very honest and actively consulted with me. The way we communicated and the overall atmosphere matched well, and the aesthetic direction, design, and other surgical plans all aligned smoothly without issues.[Helpful tips for those planning a consultation]The director wants patients to honestly say what they truly feel and want deep down. For example, I think saying “I want surgery because it is a complex” and “I want to become more handsome” are different. When making a plan, I think it will help a lot when planning surgery with the director, and lead to surgery without regrets, if you do some research in advance and clearly figure out whether you want to become more handsome, whether you just want bigger eyes, or whether you want monolids exactly like your current eyes, then speak honestly. I do not recommend this for people who want to approach surgery casually. And if it is hard to explain, it is good to take screenshots of the eye shape of an influencer you like and show them.Consultation exampleEx) “Doctor, I want inner double eyelids or monolids + ptosis correction + lateral/lower canthoplasty so that my eyes do not get bigger, but I can look masculine, trendy, and handsome. Doctor, I will briefly tell you my features and concerns.I often hear that my eyes look plain but distinctive, and because the outer corners turn upward, my impression looks fierce. Also, as I have gotten older, my eyes have started to droop little by little, making me look sleepy. It even seems like thick double eyelids are about to form. Even though I have monolids, my eyes are quite large. I do not want to make my eyes any bigger, but I want to resolve my complex and become more handsome. Becoming handsome is my priority, so if your opinion differs from mine, I think it would help me choose if you recommend or explain the option that would make me look more handsome.”Not-recommended consultation examplesEx) “Doctor, please make me look like Cha Eun-woo.”Ex) “Doctor, please make my eyes as big as possible.”Ex) “Doctor, I want to resolve my complex.”Ex) “I don’t know much about plastic surgery, so please just recommend something.”Ex) “Please make it look exactly like my current eyes and make it unnoticeable.”
