Revisional double eyelids surgery

[coletmenot]

I went to Dr. Kang more than six months ago and so far I'm happy with the results. He is more expensive than other clinics though.

Hi Cherry,
I booked my flight to korea fly from London on 9th june for eyelid revision.
What is your plan ? I will be staying at my korean friend's home and she has recommended this clinic called Yonseijin in Sinsa-dong as few of her friends have used this clinic and had good results but they are not specialized in eyelid revisional surgery, so I cant make up my mind.
Currently still checking out more info about these two clinics, if you have found more info about Dr Kang IOU...good or bad, please let me know.

Thanks Cherryn hope to hear from you

Hi girls,
I just booked my flight to korea fly from London, leaving on 9th june till 20th june for eyelid revision. I still cant decide on which clinic to choose and I have a korean friend who lives in Seoul and few of her friends have used a clinic called Yonseijin.
Has anyone heard of this clinic although my heart is leaning more towards Dr Kang from IOU as he has good reviews but expensive !!!
If anyone had a good eye revision result from Seoul, please let me know which clinic you have used or who to avoid !!!
Thanks everyone x

Hi! I'll be going much sooner than you ><! I'm going in March 22nd.

What research have you done so far? Honestly, for me not much ><!! I'm very nervous.

I;ve only decided to go for consultation with Dr.Kang but I'm planning to go for more. And I think you should definitely go to doctors that specialized in eyelid revisional surgery.

Please pm me and we shall discuss further?

I agree with cherryzz revision is more complicated than a primary so it's important to go to a doctor who has a lot of experience with it.

Hello! I'm also new here as well. What are you planning to get done and when? I'm planning to get a double eyelid surgery with an epi/lateral canthoplasty. I have only done some quick research, nothing too deep. For now, I have Banobagi, BK, Dream, and Pitangui. I heard of Regen and ID as well. Most of them are fairly new, being around for a decade or so. Pitangui is the only one I can find that's lasted longer (25 years). I don't know which is clinic is best, but I think it all boils down on how the initial consultation goes.

Hi there! I don't have recommendations since I'm just starting to inquire at clinics. I've received a messge from Dr. Park at BK and Dr. Yoo at Pitangui but I haven't made a decision yet. I'm still going to check other clinics before I finally make my decision.

Dear Jin77, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. It will benefit a lot of people. I am also looking for a very experienced eyelid revision doctor and very nervous about this procedure as I already had 2 bad experience. Would you mind sharing your recovery photos (or before and after photos) with me. Here is my email: [email protected]. I look forward to your response.

Update:

I arrived at Seoul last Sunday and the next day I had 3 consultation appts. scheduled with Dr. Kang at IOU, Dr. Cho at Bio, and Dr. Kim at BK. Since my Korean was okay and enough to get by, I didn't have an interpreter with me. I was booked at the Dormy Inn residence hotel, which is about 10 minute cab ride for $4 during non-rush hour.

My first appt. was with Dr. Kang and I was so impressed with Dr. Kang that I didn't even want to go to the other 2 doctors for consultations afterwards. Still, I decided to go see Dr. Cho at Bando Eye/Bio, since I was in Korea already and he seems to have a good reputation for eye revisions based on this forum. Well, what a waste of time it was! I found him to be arrogant, unattentive, and the consultation lasted a whole 5 min. or so. I actually knew he wasn't the right doctor for me as soon as I walked in and when he said to me, "So, you are from the States. You want to get your eyes done smaller but why? It should fit right in in the States." One of his female consultants who was standing right next to him seemed kind of embarrassed by his candid statment to me. Although I was quite taken back, I explained that I wanted it to make it smaller regardless because I felt it was too big and then he says to me, "I guess i can do it." At that point, I just knew he wasn't the right doctor for me and when he proceeded to examine my eyes, I lost all interest in this doctor. I left after about 5 minutes and was still surprised by his casual, indifferent attitude towards a decision that meant a lot to me.

Since I really liked Dr. Kang, I decided to cancel my appt. at BK with Dr. Kim after seeing Dr. Cho. Dr. Kang is extremely attentive and very nice, and more importantly he listens to what you want. I've read on previous posts that he tends to make the double eyelids too small, that is untrue based on my experience because he asked me what size I preferred and took the time to measure my eyelids, looked at the pictures that I've saved on my iphone, and listened to me. The consulation lasted well over 30 minutes and I never felt rushed one bit. Whereas at Dr. Cho's, I couldn't wait to get out of his office. Btw, apparently in Korea the trend is to have a small double fold, almost mono-lid, which is what you mainly see on Dr. Kang's website because that's what the girls are getting over there. I've opted for a size of 5.5 mm, which is considered 1 - 1.5 mm higher than what most Koreans opt for these days.
I could tell immediately after my surgery that my crease is a LOT lower than it had previously been, even though I was at the most swollen stage! I had an incisional and ptosis done btw.

Please note that since all the surgery dates/times were booked, Dr. Kang and his staff made special arrangements for me by performing the surgery after hours. They knew that I had to leave Korea in a week 1/2 so they made special accommodations. He has asked me to come for a follow up visit every 2 days, which I have been.

Dr. Kang's price was competitive and much lower than what was quoted to me via email. Based on my observation from visiting the clinics here in Seoul, it's best to get a quote from the doctor face to face because the person who is quoting is just one of the employees so it may be a lot higher than actual.

I am so happy that I found this forum and for the person who started this forum (Sassychic09 - Thank you), and I have only positive things to say about Dr. Kang at IOU based on my experience. Good luck to you all, and I hope you guys can achieve the results that you are looking for as well~
