Iwabaek 이와백Eye SurgeryOverall: 3.2/5

I came here for a revision surgery, so the price may be a bit different. The doctor had a confident vibe. I went in the afternoon, and the clinic was smaller than I expected, and maybe because it was near closing time, it was quiet. I filled out my chart and had a consultation, and the doctor was neither kind nor unkind, but I got the impression he wanted to finish a bit quickly...? The consultation manager was also kind, and there was no pressure to leave a deposit, but somehow it felt like they also wanted to wrap things up quickly...? At least it did not seem like I would completely ruin my eyes if I had surgery here, but they recommended full incision. They said partial incision was not impossible and a buried suture procedure could be done, but the result might be unsatisfying and it could come undone. I was not even considering full incision, so I am still debating. My eyes had already had epicanthoplasty, but they were pulled open in a weird way, so it was not easy to make the double-eyelid line pretty. Still, they did not recommend revision epicanthoplasty because the red inner canthus was already sufficiently visible. It seemed like they were aiming for a safer compromise rather than a dramatic change, and if there was any chance of messing it up, they did not want to do it. I am not going to a beauty pageant or anything, so I am satisfied enough with that. I completely agree with not doing epicanthoplasty again... but all the example double-eyelid photos the manager showed me were eyes that had epicanthoplasty, so I could not tell what result someone like me would get. And the atmosphere made it a little hard to ask questions. I think the doctor would probably do a good job. Aftercare is 1 year.
