Patient review of Gangnamjel (강남젤) · 2026-02-23

Review

I have monolids and a lot of eyelid fat, and I didn't want double eyelid surgery and didn't even think my eyes were the type that could be operated on, so I started looking into forehead lifts. They said a forehead lift has a better effect on the impression than an upper lift, but opinions differ from clinic to clinic, so I'm still confused. They said the threads only need two incision points and that there have been no side effects so far, so I'm thinking about booking soon. The price seems average for Gangnam, but opinions are so divided about endoscopic forehead surgery that I'm wondering if it's really the right thing to do. Every clinic suggests something different too

The director and the manager in charge were both extremely kind, and during my consultation with the director, he even showed me a surgery video himself. But this place was interesting: other places usually make five incisions, and at…

First of all, I went in during a quiet time late in the afternoon, so there were no patients waiting. I first consulted with the director of the consultation room, and after hearing roughly about the areas I was worried about and the…

As I got older, my under-eyes started sagging more and more at some point, and people around me kept saying I looked tired. I really heard that way too many times. I kept putting off getting checked, thinking I’d just go for an exam…

I got told so many times that my forehead was wide that I got into the habit of always covering it with bangs. But in summer, when I sweat, my hair sticks to my face and feels suffocating, and it is uncomfortable when I exercise too, so it…

I was working a lot of overtime too, and I really did look tired, but forehead wrinkles made me look even older. People kept asking if I was tired all the time, so I had a forehead lift. During the consultation, the explanation was calm…
