1) ㅇㅇㄱㄹ (Director ㅈㄱㅇ) - Single-doctor clinic - No consultation fee - Consultation flow: manager -> director -> manager - Recommended non-incisional double eyelid surgery + ptosis correction + upper canthoplasty - Aftercare: swelling laser, swelling injection, scar-tissue injection - AS period: free within 1 year; after 1 year, anesthesia fee + material costs - Sedation + local anesthesia - Return after one week to have the upper canthoplasty stitches removed - If there are no issues, it seems you come in at 1, 3, and 6 months to check progress - Surgery time: non-incisional double eyelid surgery (30 min) + upper canthoplasty (20 min) - Cost: non-incisional double eyelid surgery (970,000 KRW) + upper canthoplasty (420,000 KRW) = about 1.4 million KRW (partial disclosure condition) - Number of surgical patients per day for the director: 2 - CCTV available; can be viewed for submission purposes - No pressure to pay a deposit - They send the consultation details via KakaoTalk - Both the manager and the director were so kind and explained everything in detail, so I liked it! There was no waiting time at all, and I had prepared my question list in an Excel sheet. The manager looked at that sheet and explained every single thing I was curious about, and the director also tried several lines for me.
2) ㄴㅅㅎ (Director ㄱㄷㅎ) - Not a single-doctor clinic - No consultation fee - Consultation flow: manager -> director -> manager - Recommended non-incisional double eyelid surgery + ptosis correction - Aftercare: swelling injection + swelling laser + scar injection - AS period: 3 years - Sedation + local anesthesia - Surgery time: takes 30 minutes - Cost: 760,000 KRW based on same-day booking - CCTV available - They said if I paid a deposit and canceled at least 4 days in advance, it would be 100% refundable, so I paid the deposit - They send the consultation details via KakaoTalk - There was no waiting time, the manager was very kind, and I liked that the director firmly told me what was unnecessary. But the director only made one line for me, and it was too high, so I personally didn’t like it, which was disappointing.
3) ㅁㅂ (Director ㅅㅇㅎ) - Not a single-doctor clinic - No consultation fee - Consultation flow: manager -> director -> manager - Recommended non-incisional double eyelid surgery + ptosis correction - Aftercare: nothing in particular; they said they would give a swelling injection during surgery - Sedation + local anesthesia - Surgery time: 40 minutes - Cost: 1.87 million KRW; basic discount 1.38 million KRW; cash 1.25 million KRW; if you contact them the same day, write a review, and pay in cash, 960,000 KRW - CCTV available; since I would be awake during surgery, there would be no need to view CCTV - No pressure to pay a deposit - Some waiting time - They told me to take photos of the consultation details - The director was good, but the manager didn’t really suit me. I had printed out a question list, and I don’t know if that bothered her or what, but I didn’t feel she was very kind. She also asked how many places I had consulted at and where else I was going, which made me a bit uncomfortable.
4) ㄸㅋ (Director ㄱㅎㅅ) - Not a single-doctor clinic; head director - No consultation fee - Consultation flow: manager -> director -> manager - They gave me the choice between incisional double eyelid surgery + ptosis correction OR non-incisional double eyelid surgery + ptosis correction. - Aftercare: swelling laser - AS period: free if it comes undone within 1 year - Sedation + local anesthesia - Since it is non-incisional, there is no separate visit required, but it seems you may visit after a week to check progress - Surgery time: 30 minutes - Cost: 2.2 million KRW for non-incisional, but 1.3 million KRW as an event price (VAT separate) (For the event, you have to post on ㄱㄴㅇㄴ and ㅂㅂㅌ every 1, 2, and 3 months, and consent to the use of your personal eye photos) - No pressure to pay a deposit - They wrote the consultation details on paper and gave it with their business card - I’m not sure about the waiting time because I went about 3 hours earlier than my original appointment time, so there was some waiting. If you go at your appointment time, there may be no wait. Still, the director briefly consulted with me before surgery, so I liked that I didn’t have to wait long. - The manager felt the most professional. Like the director, she made several lines for me and explained things too. She did ask where I had received consultations, so I felt a bit awkward, but it didn’t really offend me. The director’s explanation was also the most specific. At other places, I had talked as if I preferred non-incisional surgery, so they only talked about non-incisional, but Director ㄱㅎㅅ specifically checked the difference between incisional and non-incisional ptosis correction while making lines for me.
- I also got a lot of help from this community, so I wrote this as specifically as possible, but I’m not sure if it’s okay to include costs and things like that. If there’s any issue, please let me know!! I hope this helps everyone even a little!
