Miss orange, so far most clinics have recommended me just getting Epi and not touching my DBL. Althought 2 docs said not to touch my Epi at all since I've had Epi previously. Therefore I decided to play it safe and not do another Epi surgery. Gonna just do fat Graft this time :smile:

Hello everyone!

I have been on thread a few years ago while I was researching for DES, then I chose to do it at girin, and now I am back searching for a clinic for a revision! :sad:

Anyway, I am visiting Korea really really soon, in about 2 weeks time and I am kinda freaking out cause I havent booked any consultations.

It's really hard to do research because a lot of the clinics that are recommended on purse forum are catered more to the foreigners. I can't speak or read Korean but I am looking for one that is actually good and popular in Korea.

I asked one or two of Korean friends and they both recommended clinics that are not even mentioned in this forum at all.

These are my top picks for now

View
Topface
Gio
Orangeclinic
Jbps
Deluxe

All these(except view) are recommended by my Korean friends, and I haven't decide which ones to visit. Anyone heard of any of these clinics before? Any reviews?

Also, Please feel free to add me in Kakao: iammichy
I would love to join any Kakao groups or just chat personally.

Hi michelleee,

One of my Korean friends recommended Orange Clinic as well for eyes! That seems to be a common recommendation (the other clinic they recommended was Kara, which is actually one floor above the Orange Clinic in Sinsa-dong). From what I remember though, there seems to be two 오렌지 성형외과 near Apgujeong... which one was your friends referring to?

I didn't go for a consultation sadly as their website is entirely in Korean and I wasn't sure if they had in-house translators: http://www.orangeclinic.co.kr/main/main.asp

I've scheduled a few consultations for des and epi at a few locations for August. Two of them recommended incisional and the other two recommended non-incisional. I know non-incisional doesn't require any cutting into the skin but I'm afraid of the crease coming undone or if one eye is asymmetric from the other. Has anyone had non-incisional des done and care to explain how their healing process went and any updates on how it is now?

Hello! I'm new to this forum. A friend recommended Dr. Kim at BK hospital for double-eyelid surgery. I can see that he is not very popular on this forum, but I can't find specific reasons why (I read all 74 pages of comments). Can anyone please explain why he is not recommended (other than his attitude or arrogance)? Does he have skill? I recently had a consultation with him. He seemed very friendly and talkative, though did not inspect my eyes for very long.

Hi guys, I'm going to Korea in July and want to get double eyelid surgery but I'm having so much trouble shortlisting clinics. I know every place will have negative reviews but each one puts me off so much. I was set on Banobagi for a while but reading the Banobagi thread on here did not reassure me. I then thought Teuim would be the best option, but apparently he's not so good for parallel crease which is what I want. I like the look of the Cinderella before and afters but I can't find many reviews around?? I just want to get my double eyelids done, like the most simplest, common ps in Korea but even that I'm struggling. Can anyone recommend places or give me advice please??

Hey guys, I just got eyelid surgery at Teium this Tuesday in the afternoon. Quick question - has anyone ever gotten their stitches taken out early?

I got partial incision at Teium and the clinic is closed on the weekend...but I fly out Monday afternoon and to remove the stitches in Monday morning when the clinic opens would cut it really close to my flight (flight is at 12:55, clinic opens at 10, Incheon is 1.5 hours away).

Dr. Kwon said I can get them removed today (Friday) but it would only be D3. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it ok to get them removed early?

Hi, guys. Just wanna share about my surgery so it might be a long post. I just got back from Seoul and I think I should write a bit about my experience so that everyone can have another hospital to consider :smile:

What I do is Non-Incision Double Eyelid Surgery at Dream Plastic Surgery with Dr. Park.
Before I went to Seoul for my Surgery, I already shortlisted some clinic which were:

(1) Teuim (2) Opera (3) JW (4) Dream

After much discuss session with my friend, we dropped Opera and Teuim off our list. People who already done their surgery at Teuim used to say that they feel pain at the end of surgery and the surgery took a long time, honestly I have a really low pain tolerance so I move Teuim to the last of list (it might sound lame but i really hate if i have to feel pain especially if it near my eyes). However, if this isn't an issue for you then go ahead since I heard a lot of people have successfull surgery at Teuim. As for Opera, some forumer post an article where it says that Opera have some issue that make it to be included to the blacklisted list, this might have nothing to do with the eyes specialist but I rather go somewhere that have better reputation.

Thus that leave JW and Dream. My friend and I were leaning toward JW more than Dream, but JW did something that turn me off completely:shucks: ( I will not write it here but if you wanna know just PM me). And that means Dream is the last choice. So we contacted Dream via Kakaotalk and reserve our consultation and operation date, thankfully Dr. Park is available at that time. I choose Dr. Park because I heard that he is the rhinoplasty and non-incision eye specialist there. The other reason is their reality show video “Let me in” show a very good job done by Dr. Park and I just like his style and the result. After setting for the appointment, the consultant arranged the driver to pick us up at 2nd May.

My consultation should be on 10am but I couldn’t arrive in time because my plane’s time of arrival is too close but fortunately they still can squeeze us in to see Dr. Park at 11.30am. Dr. Park is like everybody said, soft-spoken and very polite. He has an calming effect and he smiles a lot in the consultation which I found really comforting. Dr. Park can speak good english, but avoid talking too fast so that he can get your meaning clearly. There is also an english translator that accompany us while we are there and her english is really good so it’s fine if you cannot speak Korean.

Dr. Park recommend for me to do non-incision double eyelid surgery and medical epicanthoplasty, which is optional. I am not sure about epi and don't want to do it just to regret it later so I choose only non-incision. After that we decide on the height of my crease then after some q&a session, we leave the exam room. Because the consultant is quite busy we have lunch first at McD downstair :biggrin:, which I am quite happy with because I don’t have to walk too far to find food.

When go back up, the english translator take us to see the consultant, Helene, to decided on the price. I am not good at negotiation so 10% off is fine for me. Beside I don't think I can bring the price too low since my friend and I only do a non-incision surgery. After we agreed at the price which is KRW 1,620,000 with 7% tax refund. We pay the deposit of KRW 200,000 then receive a reservation card. I was told to go back tomorrow at 9.30am

We arrived at Dream at 9.10am, it is still early so there is only the receptionist. We wait for a bit and at 9.30am we were greet by our english translator, Julia, and were directed to finish the payment. For the tax refund, they printed the recipe right after we finish the payment. It will require passport so make sure you bring it. After that they ushered us to the 5th floor where they told us to get ready. Julia asked us some basic information regarding medical history and ask us to fill an consent form for anasthesia. She also gave us the aftercare package which include tablets, ointment and eyedrop.

I wait for quite a while before we are taken to the 6th floor for our last consult with Dr. Park. Once again we decide the height of the crease and Dr. Park marked it. I was the first on to go to the surgery room while my friend wait for me. My surgery itself take maybe only 30 mins, so it was very fast.

After they took me to the operation room, they prepped me and sanitize my face. Dr. Park come not long after that. He draw another line to my skin where he plan on putting the suture. I find it funny when he told me to open and close my eyes using several different intonation. It was like he is singing XD. Next come the anasthesia injection which honestly is the most painful part, it only last seconds though. My memory is kinda blurry so I cannot really understand what is going on. The only thing that i remember is the pressure the nurse put near my eyes and when Dr. Park pull at the suture to adjust it. Next thing I know, everything is done and I can move off the bed. Like I said, very fast! :lol:

A nurse accompany me to the elevator and give me ice gel pack. She told me to ice my eyes for the first 3 days frequently and for me to wait at the 5th floor for my friend. Dream is very busy at that day so I cannot get any room to rest for a while, probably because my surgery is not very aggressive and the room was filled by patient with more difficult surgery. Julia told me that I could play the computer if I like while I am waiting. My friend’s eyes is more complicated than me so I wait for a while. At that time I just dosed off, play the computer, watch the TV, repeat :roflmfao:. After my friend come down, she have to rest a bit. Before we go back to the hotel, we receive an explanation about the after care kit. I was afraid that my eyes will be really swollen and It will be hard for me to walk back to the hotel, but it didn’t happen. I can still see very clearly, the only difference is the tightness around my eyes.

During my recovery time, I used to walk quite far since it is my first time going to Seoul so there might not be enough time for sightseeing if I just stay at the hotel. Also I drink lots of water because I want to prevent from getting sore throat especially when I enjoy lots of greasy and spicy food. It might be the reason that my eyes is still swollen after a week while my friend’s eyes become perfectly natural :P

As for pumpkin juice, I could not find it until 2 days before I fly back to my home contry, but since I have to buy one box which contain 25 package, I didn’t buy it. You can get the pumpkin juice at a pharmacy near the clinic. Just walk past JW. It located beside a store called Deolor/Deloro? (Sorry If I got it wrong). You have to buy one bulk package, contain 25 package, so it is better for you to buy it right after you are doing the surgery so there is time for you to drink all of it.

I got back to Dream 1 week after my surgery and Dr. Park said that me and my friend’s eyes is healing nicely and everything should look natural after 3 weeks, he directed the statement more to me though because my eyes is still swollen. :P

I think that is all I can share. I am now on days 10 post surgery and very pleased with the result. If you have any question just PM me and I will reply as soon as possible. If you want to talk to me via Kakaotalk just leave your id and I will add you. :smile:
