Ps the consultation is in name only. When I went for my consult I ended up getting it the same day. It is always free for the consult. Go early in the morning if you want it done the same day.
After reading all the posts and I wanted to add something. I had my eyes done a year ago in mok-dong south Korea. It was the DST method and it cost me $550 USD. My surgeon first used the laser to remove a little fat on the eyes and used the double suture method to lift the eyes. I didn't go to apgujungdong because they charge so much and the results can be mixed. It shocks me how much some of you paid. I think the surgeries costs more in apgujungdong because it's supposed to be the Beverly Hills of Korea. But I heard that if you get any other procedures done (like a nose job) they throw the eye surgery in for free.
I speak Korean fluently so I guess that helped. The best places to go is where a lot of ajumas go. I guess i am one too since I have two children. I had the surgery done because after you gain weight ( having two kids ) and lose it, your eyes starts to droop. (it happened to me) I still look like myself but more awake and not tired. Eye surgeries are such a common thing in Korea so most doctors are great at it. If I can give any advice on this matter, don't go for the hype of nice offices, you are paying for that. I don't have the doctors info but if anyone is traveling to Korea this year for their surgery I can get it for you. They do not speak English but if your Korean and have family there I am sure they can translate for you. One interesting note, the doctor plays Celine Dion while he performs the surgery. He will also ask you if you want anything else done, just say no. They all ask that question. I think if you have average Asian eyes DST method is the best because the recovery time is fast and you will still look like yourself. I have seen really bad eye jobs in korea and almost all of them were the cut version. And after some years the upper eyelid will start to hollow out and make you look old. Good luck.
Pm me your email if want photos. I will email it to you.
