Hi guys, I have been doing research about double eyelids with epicanthoplaspy, and because Im a foreigner, I reached out to traveler surgery agency which is Beauty Hopper. Has anyone worked with them? Can I have some review? Thank you!

Disclaimer: This review was written as part of a discount program. The words are entirely my own and have not been reviewed by MIHO prior to publishing. I had a very tight travel schedule, with only eight days in Seoul. Because of this, I didn’t have the luxury of “shopping around” for clinics after arriving and had to rely on prior research and online consultations. Before my trip, I conducted online photo consultations with several clinics in Gangnam. MIHO stood out because of their responsiveness—Kevin, in particular, was incredibly prompt and helpful. After reading other positive reviews, I decided to proceed with MIHO for upper eyelid blepharoplasty with ptosis repair and a midface lift. Arrival and Initial Consultation Two days after landing in Seoul, I attended my appointment at MIHO. Kevin greeted me at reception and introduced me to Judy, my translator. Both Kevin and Judy spoke fluent English, which made communication seamless. During the in-person consultation, my surgical plan underwent significant changes. The doctor recommended switching the method of blepharoplasty from incisional to adhesion and suggested replacing the midface lift with thread lifting combined with fat grafting after assessing my skin and muscle tone. This unexpected shift was initially unsettling, as I hadn’t researched thread lifting and was unfamiliar with the procedure. Additionally, the blepharoplasty incision was placed sub-brow rather than at the crease line, which surprised me. Given my tight schedule, I trusted the doctor’s expertise and moved forward with the revised plan. In hindsight, I wish I had asked about alternative procedures during the photo consultation stage so I could better prepare. That said, Kevin and Judy were supportive and reassured me throughout the process. Surgery Day The procedure began in the late afternoon around 5 p.m. under sleep anesthesia, which was completely painless. I was groggy afterward and didn’t leave the clinic until around 9:30–10 p.m. If you’re planning a similar surgery, I highly recommend arranging for someone to accompany you after the procedure. It took me some time to be awake enough to leave after the surgery was completed. The clinic had already prepared my post-op medications and even provided a comforting pumpkin soup, which was a thoughtful touch. Judy also sent me detailed post-surgery instructions via text, which was extremely helpful since I was in no state to remember everything. Post-Operative Care Post-Op Day (POD) 1: I returned to the clinic for a wound check. While I was very swollen, the nurse confirmed everything was within normal limits. I didn’t see the doctor that day. POD 3: Another check-up included an IV treatment. I had some concerns, so Kevin arranged for me to meet briefly with the doctor, who reassured me that my recovery was on track. POD 7: My final check-up included stitch removal and a deswelling laser treatment (red light LED). The doctor checked in again and confirmed I was healing well. I flew out that evening, which was admittedly a rushed schedule. Post op week 1 Thoughts Overall, the experience at MIHO was smooth and efficient. The surgery itself was painless, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and informed. If your schedule allows, I highly recommend staying in Seoul longer to fully recover and enjoy the city—it’s vibrant and full of amazing things to do and see. For anyone considering MIHO, I suggest being as thorough as possible during the consultation phase and researching alternative procedures in advance. While the changes to my plan turned out well, being better prepared would have helped me feel more confident going into surgery.

I would love to be added to the group please. I am now doing research and looking at getting an endoscopic brow lift and LAMS on my stubborn muffin top! My Kakao ID is lenahck

Hi I think I'm added but unsure since kakaotalk won't let me chat. My qr code:

Hi everyone! I'm Alex (aka __looking_for_things on Discord). I'm early 40's, I actually used to live in Korea over a decade ago and I was there again in 2019. I plan to go back in 2025 for a few cosmetic procedures. Procedures I'd like to do our skin treatments like laser, rhinoplasty, and either a mini facelift or something that will help nose folds.

I had it and now regret it so much. I'm terrified that it will cause blindness as I've had previous fat transfers that turned into hard lumps and the area in the orbital space behind the eyeball is very tight, with lots of blood vessels and the only lifeline to your vision, the optic nerve, which could be dismantled by a lump growing in the area. NO DOCTOR AGREES WITH PLACING FAT BEHIND THE EYEBALL. THEY ALL SAY DO NOT DO IT. AND YET HE IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD DOING THIS? DON'T YOU REALIZE WHY?! IT'S BECAUSE IT'S SOOO STUPID TO DO THIS. I am trying to see if anyone else has done this procedure and how long ago it was. I'm going to start getting regular orbital MRIs to monitor the lumps if they start to appear. FML

I wish I had read all the botched reviews about this clinic before falling victim to their high pressure sales tactics by their evil Deborah (literally the biggest bitch ever). She cares only about commissions and will belittle you and insult you if you have any worries. All of my worries were completely legitimate, like hmm..can you go blind putting fat BEHIND THE EYEBALL, which no other oculoplastic surgeon or plastic surgeon in the world does FOR A REASON (because it's NOT a good idea?) Or how about when the fat dies off at different rates, wouldn't that leave one eye more popped out than the other?! I went in for a simple lower canthoplasty as part of their Barbie 360 and she said I had to do the eye pop surgery. I didn't know there was such a thing. I also asked if it was possible to change my lids from a tapered to a higher parallel and she said not without the eye pop, but yes, with it I could and I drew a photo for them asking them, wouldn't that lead to a very visible scar from my old tapered lids? They didn't answer the question at the time prior to surgery and just blew it off as a non-concern, then later afterwards said that they told me it would be "barely noticeable," which I really don't recall. By sheer logic, the tapered scar would be visible. I didn't know if he had some magic trick he could pull out of a hat, but APPARENTLY NOT. The lids look so unnatural and the scars so apparent!! He also fat grafted under my eyes, so now I have huge BAGS that aged me 18 years. Next, we have the lateral canthoplasty, the biggest disaster of all!!! My left eye lower eyelid is flipped outwards-you can see the inside of my lid just hanging there, with a big bubble which is a hypertrophic scar. On the right side, the canthoplasty closed up and left a huge scar in the corner. I've had to go to several oculoplastic surgeons and they were so sorry that this happened to me and said they never would have done any of these things to my upper lids or corners. The only thing I can do is try steroid cream or injection, which can cause thinning of your CORNEA and cause blindness (SO UNECESSARY!!!) And I need to have a reverse lateral canthoplasty likely to have the skin go back to the right position. Lastly, I told her I was worried the labiaplasty would bleed a lot and she dismissed that fear, saying only if I went and walked around all over the city would I cause bleeding like another patient did. I woke up to a blood soaked bed and the nurses all panicking to stop my bleeding. ANOTHER QUESTION I ASKED THAT SHE DISMISSED AND I ENDED UP BEING CORRECT. I WILL SUE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS HOSPITAL. I CANNOT GO OUTSIDE ANYMORE AND I WAS BEAUTIFUL BEFORE THIS. MY LIFE HAS BEEN RUINED BY PITANGUI.

Ok, reviving an old thread here, but this is a huge worry for me too.... Making the big trip there and not being able to secure a surgery date! That said, if clinics are taking consultation appointments with foreigners, they must be aware that those ppl are only in the country for a few weeks at most. Definitely a good question to ask when booking consults.

Hi everyone! So... What a journey it's been that's led me here. I had primary double eyelid surgery in 2021 which left me with some mild scarring and sausage eyes. I stupidly tried to get it fixed in the States and ended up with very asymmetrical eyes, indented crooked scars and some serious emotional turmoil ha. The thought of going to Korea was always intimidating but I'm committed to going through with it now. Looking forward to connecting, learning and sharing experiences!

Hi Aprial. I am going for PS on 27th Nov-6th Dec. I am a lady alone 2nd time doing rhinoplasty . Would love a companionship to share this experience while in Seoul korea on my own.

I am in Singapore and I got 1ml of juvederm voluma in February this year. it was the biggest regret of my life. so i regretted getting the filler as i felt that it pulled my face unnaturally and ask the doctor if it could be reversed and this doctor said he could dissolve it for me. however, while not knowing the brand, dose and dilution amount of the hyaluronidase he used, he dissolve the filler twice and after that my face completely drooped and i have structural skin damage soon after dissolving the filler. now my face and skin texture and face structure completely changed. im crying out for help as my face morphed over the months after getting those procedures PLEASE RECOMMEND ME A CLINIC OR DOCTOR WHO CAN DEAL WITH THIS COMPLICATION. THANKS A MILLION

Hi please add me Aprial. Thank you so much!

Hello everyone! I'm Aprial, middle aged female, never been to Korea. Looking to get deep plane facelift, rhino revision, maybe: neck lift, jaws, cheeks? Also interested in veneers. I would love to learn but also would love to share once I have my experiences in Korea.

I’ve been diving into research on facial contouring lately but keep wondering if two-jaw surgery might be the better option for improving my jawline. From what I’ve read, facial contouring (like V-line surgery) seems great for reshaping and slimming the jaw and chin area, but two-jaw surgery seems to tackle structural issues, especially if there’s any functional stuff like an asymmetry or misaligned bite. It’s hard to tell which would actually give me the best results. Anyone here had experience with both? Did you notice a big difference in the kind of results each can achieve? I’ve seen that MACS Clinic seems to offer both and uses a lot of high-tech planning tools, like 3D CT scans and simulations, which sounds pretty promising. I’m wondering how accurate those tools are when it comes to predicting results, though. Like, do they actually help the surgeon make a noticeable difference, or is it more of a sales thing? Would love to hear any insights or personal experiences! If you’ve done either or consulted for both, how did you decide? FYI: this is MACS OMFS: https://macs.co.kr/eng/

I’ve been thinking a lot about getting double eyelid surgery and have been researching clinics in Seoul. I’m really into the Korean beauty standard and achieving that natural but defined eye look (Jennie Black Pink), like some of the K-pop idols I follow. Has anyone heard of Note Plastic Surgery or had a consultation there? https://noteprseng.com/ I’ve come across Note in some Korean apps & sites, and people seem to really like their experiences, especially for eyelid surgeries. From what I’ve seen, they are making sure everything looks good, but natural. I also noticed that they focus on facial contouring, which I’m considering for the future. Would love to hear if anyone has any personal experience with them or if you’ve seen results from someone else! Any recommendations or advice would be much appreciated!

I’ve been thinking about getting facial contouring for a more defined, yet natural V-line and was curious if anyone has checked out Macs OMFS in Seoul. I’ve heard they’re newer but seem to have some advanced methods that people are talking about on tpf and reddit. Has anyone heard of them or know someone who’s had surgery there? https://macs.co.kr/eng/ I’m aiming for a more natural look, like what you see with some K-pop idols—not too dramatic. Any insights or tips would be super helpful!

Hi. I am planning on visiting Korea in a few weeks and want to get chin lipo, i've been researching clinic and the consensus seems to be that larger hospitals are not the way to go. If anyone has suggestions on clinics/doctors please let me know.

Hello my kakao id is dkb please add me thank you!

Hi everyone, I looked through Gangnam Unni and really liked the before and after photos from Cooki. I can't find much information on this forum though. Can anyone please share if they've tried Cooki? Thank you so much!

Hi, great questions. If you already decided on a clinic in Korea for facial liposuction and platysmaplasty and want to save time, it might be good to block out the surgery date with a deposit, and ask them when the final check-up would typically be. If you arrive, consult, and then decide you might have a surgery date the next or a few days later if you didn't block out the time.
