1. partial incisional.
2. I didn't bargain. Probably paid the amount that they quoted you lol... but yeah bargain with them. I paid US dollar in cash to them around 2750
3. Post-op, go back to JW every 2-3 days to see nurse for clean-up and de-swelling treatment. Doctor will usually check up with you every 5-7 days or so. They give a bunch of meds, eye drops and ointment to use. I didn't really have to buy anything from pharmacy.

Hope that answers your questions.

 

PMed you on that

 

Some of the people I know from this forum went to JW and had a good experience.
There are a lot of ppl I need to thank, including, but not limited to, K-Contour and Koreasaurus, who helped me through this experience.

Treatment plan - it's not that different per se, but it is different. One clinic even suggest forehead lift or whateva. They are all good doctors. They all took the time with me to explain their procedures. I think JW's plan made the most sense to me.

As far as male/female, JW style is usually on the natural side. So they suggested the crease height that is more suitable for guys. Nothing special.

 

Oh, also the scar started to fade since I started using anti-scar ointment.
The only thing is that there are one tiny white/transparent hard suture poking out my left eyelid. It's very hard to see or visible. It doesn't bother me much.
I have seen people brought that up before on the forum. Wondering if I should just leave it alone.

 

It's being over 5 weeks since I did my DES + Ptosis surgery in Seoul.
I started to reading this forum about 3 years ago.
And finally decide to do the surgery this summer cuz I finally have a break due to changing my job.

Long story short:
The whole experience was pleasant. Making a few friends from the forum helped relieving a lot of the stress.
I consulted with Teuim, Dream and JW. And finally decide to go with Dr Choi from JW.
The surgery took about two hours. No GA, not even sedation... Just local anesthesia and it was painless. I was awake the whole time and having conversation with Dr Choi.
The recovery and aftercare were pretty great too. Dr Choi regularly checks on me through the 3 weeks period I am in Seoul.
Jenny is my English consultant, although Dr Choi spoke English with me the whole time. She helped scheduling my check-ups, prepare my meds and answered all kinda of random questions I had.

At 5 weeks mark, I am recovering well. No infection or anything and the eyelid healed evenly and symmetrical.

If you guys have any questions, fire away.

 

I don't think you have to go to a Men's PS clinic necessarily.
Just choose a surgeon/specialist with a conservative/natural style. Just my $0.02

 

Sure I will add you... I just arrived. Let's see how the consultations go. Will write a review afterward

 

Just landed in Seoul. Having consultation with JW soon

 

please pm me the photo as well. i'll be in korea July 17th.

Also you kinda hinted the place as "xxx hospital"... out of all the plastic surgery clinics, I think ID or BK would call themselves hospital. But maybe I am overthinking...

 

1 week count down for my DES trip...

 

Thx man. I need it...

 

After 3 years of following this forum and seen all kinds of drama, finally leaving for Korea in a month for DES.

Already paid surgery deposits at a few clinics.

 

I am going in a month and half or so...

Right now... Migo, JW and a few others.

 

What made you decide on Secret?
I read a lot about Secret on the Chinese App Soyoung.com...
But usually there are a lot of promotions on those app. So I wasn't sure what to believe.
How was your experience?

 

So your first eyelid surgery failed.
for revision, all you did was google one clinic?
How did you decide on your first clinic?

 

It was a kakao group. I don't know how much she paid, but I got my quote recently, which was USD 3200 - 3700 for primary case of DES and ptosis.

 

JW and Dream I think...

 

I just booked a face to face consultation for DES with JW this May. Very excited.

 

for primary case instead of revision， the quote I received is 3600-4100 USD for (full or partial not specified) incisional DES and Ptosis correction.

 

bump

 

I saw your did a bunch of other surgeries alongside your eyelid surgery. did you do your eyelid surgery first?

 

who is the best eye doctor at JW?

 

A friend of mine from 2015 April group was really happy with her results at JW.

 

Yo how is it going, my man?
How are you doing with recovery?

 

hmm, looks pretty good. The fold looks pretty deep tho. How does it look when you close your eyes?
