I’m currently in my mid-40s. I was born with only inner double eyelids, but thanks to my thin upper eyelids, double eyelids formed when I was in high school, and after I applied glue to that spot, they ended up settling there permanently. So the double-eyelid shape isn’t pretty, and as I got older my eyelids started drooping, so I decided to have surgery. I’m leaving a review after making appointments at 3 places and going for consultations.
1. Clinic name: Wannabe Plastic Surgery (Sinsa Station) Consultant: Director Jang Cheol-ho Consultation fee: - Consultation details: manager - director - manager order
Manager: Said I would probably need a forehead lift. Mentioned Endotine + incision Director Jang: Said that if I do a forehead lift, the sunken-eye look would get worse, so he suggested incision + ptosis correction It was briefly during the pre-surgery appointment slot, but he kindly, and despite being busy, explained the necessary parts in detail, then left to go perform surgery. I liked that he didn’t push excessively and recommended an appropriate procedure.
After coming home, I looked up reviews, but most of them were reviews for under-eye fat repositioning procedures he mainly performed, so I felt a little hesitant. However, the photos in the few reviews I found had a trendy style, so I liked them..
Estimated quote: 2.6 million
2. Clinic name: Iho Plastic Surgery (Apgujeong Station) Consultant: Director Park Byung-ho Consultation fee: 10,000 Consultation details: director - manager order The consultation manager was kind and also gave me refreshments. Director Park: Said we could correct the asymmetry with an incision, and that ptosis correction could also be done. Because I lack the strength to open my eyes upward, the consultation ended with the plan being to do ptosis correction. The director also made me feel comfortable, but still carefully and diligently examined me. I also liked the follow-up tracking program. I liked it very much, so I almost made up my mind to go here.
After coming home, I looked up reviews, and I trusted it more because many people go there for revision surgery. But I’m worried because the review photos looked a bit old-fashioned.. Estimated quote: 2.42 million
3. Clinic name: Glovi Plastic Surgery (Apgujeong Station) Consultant: Director Park Jong-cheol Consultation fee: - Consultation details: manager - director - manager order Director Park: Said my condition was very serious (complex), so surgery was not possible. If I wanted to do it, he said I would need a forehead lift (Endotine), then incision + ptosis correction + fat grafting to the upper eyelids. After that, the manager connected me with a director who specializes in forehead lifts. Director Nam: Said that if I do a forehead lift now, it wouldn’t have a dramatic effect, so satisfaction would be low. He expected that the eyebrow-to-forehead ratio would become somewhat unfavorable with a forehead lift, so he told me to think very carefully before doing it..
Estimated quote: forehead lift 2.6 million + incision/ptosis correction/upper-eyelid fat grafting 4.4 million (3.3 million because I’d also be doing the forehead lift) = total 5.9 million
I suddenly felt like I had only planned to lift my drooping eyelids, but the matter had become much bigger, so my mind was complicated. So since my wrinkles aren’t severe in my current state, I decided to do the forehead lift 10 years later, when I’m older and have more wrinkles. For now, I’ve decided to go in the direction of double-eyelid surgery, and while debating between clinics 1 and 2, I made a reservation at one of them, but I’m still wavering..
If anyone has had eye surgery (incision) at Wannabe or Iho, please help me decide~
