Well, I’m not really sure about this clinic. I went for a double-eyelid consultation, and they said that structurally, a forehead lift would be much more effective than double eyelid surgery, so they strongly recommended a forehead lift, and up to that point I could understand it. I’ve heard from other clinics once or twice that it might be good to do double eyelid surgery now and then a forehead lift when I’m in my 40s. I know my own face best, since I’ve lived with it for decades. The reason they recommended a forehead lift was professional and understandable. But the problem was that even though they were recommending a forehead lift to me, a woman in my mid-20s, they didn’t explain exactly how the procedure would be done, and kept showing me the same 3 or 4 before-and-after photos over and over, saying things like this isn’t the time to be thinking about doing double eyelid surgery first. The director seemed confident in his skills, so I’m fine with him emphasizing a forehead lift over double eyelid surgery, but... personally, it felt too excessive to me. He said things like other clinics would have recommended incisional surgery plus ptosis correction, but that wouldn’t be enough. Bluntly speaking, if a forehead lift makes money, it makes even more money, so why wouldn’t they recommend it then? I think this is just a difference in perspective. And it’s not called a youth-restoring surgery for nothing. Of course, I’m not an expert, so I could be wrong, but hearing it pushed in that way was very burdensome. I appreciate that they spent nearly 40 minutes consulting with me so carefully. But the counseling manager was not great either. When I said forehead lifting felt too burdensome, that it was a youthful-looking surgery, and that I was a bit taken aback, she pushed back by saying my thinking was old-fashioned and that surgeries like this can only be done neatly by a director as skilled as ours.. Then they gave me two quotes, one for partial incision + ptosis correction + medial epicanthoplasty, and one for a forehead lift.. It felt off to me. The director said that to solve the root problem, a forehead lift was more urgent than double eyelid surgery, but the counseling manager said that if I do the double eyelid surgery first, they can make the line a bit lower and then do the forehead lift after the swelling goes down later, saying the order doesn’t matter. Isn’t that contradictory..? I figured this wasn’t the right clinic for me anyway, so I didn’t bother arguing on the day, but for a place with good reviews, I found it pretty questionable. Especially the counseling manager.. When I asked whether they would do laser treatment or other aftercare for scar tissue if I had double eyelid surgery and medial epicanthoplasty, she confidently said there won’t be any scars because the director is so skilled. She said there would be no scars even without laser or anything like that.. meaning there is no aftercare. Nowadays, almost everywhere at least gives one laser session, even if you have to pay for it, but I was a bit stunned. The way the counseling manager kept talking about the director’s skill, saying only our director can do this, became burdensome after a while too. Without pushing it like that, I already felt from the consultation with the director that he was plenty professional...
