ilove9988 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Helllo!!! I will be going to Korea for 10 days vacation. Now, I am really considering if I should include a double eyelid surgery into my trip. I asked my bf, but he said no cos his worried I will be complaining about the plain during the entire trip & ruin the vacation. On the other hand, I'm thinking that since I am there, I should might as well get it done right? So, I have already emailed a few hospitals, but only Teuim replied me. Teuim suggested I do: 1. Double eyelid surgery including muscle correction (Incisional method is recommended) : 2.5—3.0m KRW + 10% VAT 2. Epicanthoplasty : 1.2m KRW + 10% VAT Is the price reasonable?? I've read quite a bit about Epicanthoplasty (scarring/take long time to heal/etc). So I am really afraid to do it. If i opt for the incisional method, how long does it usually take before I can get the stiches removed? (because my bf&I planned to spend 5days in Seoul & 5days in Busan) &Oh, I want a parallel double eyelid, and and I want to be able to see my double eyelid even when I smile (I hope you get what I mean, haha).

xombie_worries Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hi to all ladies ^^ I'm not sure where to do my double eyelid (incisional type). Should I do it in Singapore or Korea? Peoples alway ask me to do research about it, I did but the information is not specific enough. Sighs... Someone please share your experience with me. Will appreciate a lot.

pupuce Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 If you have read through all the threads in sgexpat and this forum, there are lots of information. Anyway a quick update I did my full incisional cut in Taipei with Dr Chiang (wish aesthetic) on Saturday night. I had ptosis repair, skin removal and also deepen my double eyelid. It's my 3rd day and I am still very swollen but it is looking good. I like that my eyes are looking very alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jly8 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi everyone, I have always wanted double eyelid surgery, so I have been researching quite a lot. I instantly chose to clinics in Korea, because they have the reputation of carrying out a lot of Asian eyelid surgeries, and I assume they have the experience and technology to do a good job. Please feel free to challenge me on this if you think otherwise. After browsing a few clinics, I narrowed my search down to BK and Grand. They both were appealing as their website was very helpful and detailed. Both clinics also received outstanding recognition. The only problem was that it doesnt state when the clinics were established. Grand stood out to me as they published all the celebrities that went to the clinic. I have been contacting BK and Grand for a couple of weeks, and they both are equally fast in their email response. I will be booking my flights for December. I just need to make a decision on the clinic ..so stressful and hard!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pupuce Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Xombie_worries I requested for a GA so I was knocked out when doctor injected my eyes and the initial part of surgery. I was awake towards the end of the stitching as often I need to open and close my eyes for him to evaluate the height There was discomfort but bearable. To be honest, except on the first night when there were some pain when I got back to hote(A pain killer solved that but everything feels normal till I look into the mirror ! Lol Today is my 4th day and still swollen although it has gone down a lot. Doctor has pre-emp me that it will require at least 10-14 days for 80% swelling to be gone. Here is a summary- Op- Saggy skin/ muscle correction (ptosis)/ deepen eyelid/ incisional full cut Location - Taipei Doctor - Dr chuang (wish aesthetic) Cost - 45,000 NT (about S$2000) Hotel - Deja vu (2880NT /S$128 per night (1 station away to clinic) Lots of eateries, shopping around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
