I went around to 4 places in Seoul, over 2 days.
I'll mark things like pressure to book roughly from 1-5. (1 means none, 5 means severe) At all four places, the consultation order was consultant (1st) - director - consultant (2nd).
1. ㅇㅇㅂ Plastic Surgery - Director ㅂㅇㅎ - Ptosis correction + medial/upper/lower canthoplasty (medial/upper/lower canthoplasty charged separately) - Consultation fee: 30,000 won - Pressure to book: 4 - Waiting time: around 30 minutes - Event applied on the condition of posting 3 reviews - No aftercare such as laser or injections - A/S: 100% for 1 year, 50% for 2 years - In the first consultant consultation, we roughly just talked about what I wanted. The director drew the line and said if I was interested in lateral canthoplasty, I should do it, and that he recommended a brow lift later on as well, about that level. It was more like it would look good if I did it, not like “let's add this and do it.” The director consultation was about 2 minutes? After that, during the second consultant consultation, I heard about the price and policies and was going to put down a contract, but when I said I wouldn't because only 90% of the deposit was refundable, they said I could just put down a provisional cash deposit of 100,000 won and they would fully refund it, so I did that and left. Three days later, I canceled the contract and got the refund.
2. ㅈㅇㅈ Plastic Surgery - Director ㄱㅎㄹ - Ptosis correction + medial (upper) canthoplasty + buried suture method - Consultation fee: x - Pressure to book: 2? Honestly, I booked right away here, so I'm not sure - Waiting time: around 20 minutes - Discount for booking on the same day without additional conditions - Laser once on the same day, once when removing stitches - A/S: 100% for 2 years, 50% for 3 years - Even during the first consultant consultation, the consultant drew the line a bit. We talked in detail, and during the director consultation, the doctor drew the line even more precisely and gave a sweet consultation. Director consultation about 5-10 minutes?? He touched the facial contours and such very carefully, drew and showed the line, then redrew it again. The consultant was kind and gave a good consultation. There was no pressure to book, so it was good. - They said incision would be good, but non-incision was also fully possible, so I received estimates for both incision and non-incision.
3. ㅋㅅㅌ Plastic Surgery - Director ㄱㅈㅎ - Ptosis correction + medial (upper) canthoplasty + natural adhesion - Consultation fee: x - Pressure to book: 3? (I also booked right away here) - Waiting time: about 10 minutes - Event applied on the condition of 2 reviews at 2 places - Laser: 1 session on stitch-removal day, scar injection after 1 month - A/S: 100% for 1 year, 50% for 2 years - In the first consultant consultation, we talked about the direction I wanted and they showed a portfolio. During the director consultation, he quickly drew the line and kept showing it. He was kind, but rather than sweet, he felt brisk and straightforward. But the consultant was watching together from behind during the director consultation. - After the director consultation ended, we immediately discussed the price and such, and it ended.
4. ㄱㄴ Plastic Surgery - Director ㅇㄱㅎ - Ptosis correction + medial canthoplasty + incisional double eyelid surgery - Consultation fee: x - Pressure to book: 1-2 - Waiting time: 20 minutes? - Review and same-day booking conditional price applied - Anesthesia and VAT separate - The first consultant just talked about basic things, and when the director talked about incision during the consultation, from then on I didn't really pay attention either. Then during the second consultant consultation, I heard the price. Me: I won't book. Consultant: This condition applies only if you book today. Is that okay? Me: Yes, that's okay. Consultant: Ah, then you can go. Thank you for your time. - And that was the end. I wasn't considering incision, so it was my fault for including a clinic that mainly does incision. The clinic was clean, and the interior felt somewhat large-scale.
I hope you decide the surgical direction you want and book consultations at clinics that mainly do that kind of surgery~
