Hi

I highly recommend ITEM Clinic for eye surgery (and nose surgery). I got epi/lateral/ptosis correction last February and could not be happier. My eyes looks super big and pretty! My eyelids are still slightly swollen but even still, I am beyond happy with the results. I went with Dr. Kim, who measured my eyes, made recommendations for the amount of length he would "open" up my eyes. This has been such a life-changing experience. I would love to share pics but would rather not share on the website. Just a note that, my surgery has transformed me in my confidence on all levels. While I was pretty before, I feel like the surgery has given me the "Korean superstar" look I have always dreamt of. It seems like the surgeries have been somewhat of a different experience for many, but by and large, I think you can't go wrong with this small, boutique clinic. I can't really speak for the other clinics; I'm sure they deliver good results here and there. I also consulted with Grand and was impressed by their clinic, but couldn't help but be drawn to the before/after pics at ITEM.

Ultimately, ITEM is able to tailor the look to what you want, as long as you come with specifics, pictures, etc. I personally loved ITEMs results, felt the looks were a bit more closer to what I wanted to achieve (flawless yet natural at the same time). Dr. Kim was a little brusque and busy, but he was honest, advised against unnecessary procedures that would "hurt" my current condition, which he deemed "good" as-is. The clientele that comes through ITEM is often locals (less foreigners) and the two floors seem busy and packed, which is probably a great sign. Feel free to DM me if you want more details.

Hi all! I'm considering an eyelid revision at ITEM next year, 2019. I had my double eyelids done 7 years ago - it's not a botched job or anything, it's great but as I aged, I find my eyelids have gotten heavier (my right eye gets uncomfortable from time to time but visually it's perfectly fine) and the crease has hollowed down on the ends. I had my first surgery done with Dr. Chung from ITEM and I'm thinking of going back to him (for obvious reasons; techniques etc) but was wondering if there are any folks out here who has done a revision to elevate the crease with him before and how have the results been? I'm worried as it's not a "must-fix" and I would hate for it to screw up my eyes since it's a known fact that there will be increased risk in a revisional surgery.

Also, to anyone who has experience doing Epi with Dr Chung would you kindly share the results as I'm considering that as well. I've known of many Epi cases where it failed horribly - either looking unnatural or they end up wanting to reverse it. I understand it's best consult with the doctor but I would like to gather more info here before making the decision whether to include this procedure or not.

If anyone knows of a Korean translator who is trustworthy (and have worked with personally), please hmu! I prefer to go with a local who is not working with the clinic if possible.

Any eye revision experience with him will be greatly appreciated!

So thankful I found this thread. Thank you all so much!
