First, my eye characteristics: I originally had in-out double eyelids, but one double eyelid line changed into a lower semi-out line, so my eyes have looked uneven for about 6 months.
Cookie Bae Joo-young (consultation fee 5,000 won)
The clinic was clean (luxury Thai massage shop vibe). Waiting time was about 20 minutes. They took eye photos before the consultation (no charge). When I showed the consultant the double eyelid shape and photos I wanted, she made notes on a tablet and told me to wait for the doctor (the consultant did not personally give an estimate). The doctor was a woman, and she answered my questions carefully and well. The consultation time was quite long. No pressure to book on the same day. Estimate - Incision + ptosis correction 2.75 million won (no canthoplasty needed) / Under-eye fat repositioning possible if desired, 1.5 million won (She said my current stage is exactly in-between. Since I don’t have aegyo-sal under my eyes, she said if done wrong, my under-eyes could look more hollow) 1-year AS.

The clinic atmosphere was chaotic. There were many people waiting, and the consultants were busily walking around (with fishnet stockings and messy hair, looking like it would come undone soon). Waiting time 30 minutes. The consultant was a bit forceful and tried to add a lot of this and that. She mentioned a discount for booking the same day and pressured me. The female doctor was blunt, but she answered questions concisely and clearly, and she held the double eyelid line several times as much as I wanted, and I liked the line the most. Estimate - Incision + ptosis correction + diagonal canthoplasty 3.15 million won & under-eye fat repositioning (currently discounted, 750,000 won) 1-year AS
Pop Kim Dong-geol (no consultation fee)
The clinic atmosphere was calm, but there were many people waiting. Waiting time 50 minutes. The consultant was kind and seemed somewhat professional. She listened carefully while writing down everything I said on a tablet. The director consultation lasted 5 minutes, very brief. He said it would be fine to follow the line currently present on my eyes and make it semi-out, and he held the line about twice. When I asked if there were any precautions after surgery, he said another line could form at the inner corner of the eye, but that it would just look like a naturally formed double eyelid line (I was a little doubtful here) Estimate - 12-hole natural adhesion (said to be patented) + upper canthoplasty 1.3 million won (discounted price if writing a review on the app after surgery) 2-year AS
I hope this helps everyone who is researching and visiting eye surgery clinics like me. I’m going to visit more clinics next week, so I’ll post a review. Use it as reference when choosing a clinic.
