mundaneguy Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thanks Hellokitty15, I was awake for the whole operation. The anesthesia went off as the operation was about to end so the only pain I felt was during what I believe is the stitching part. It was light pain to me, but I did a light "nnggg"out of fear that the string will tear my eyelids apart. lol Can't tell if I would recommend Dr Kwon yet. Think I will reserve judgement until final results. But I mean, procedure and bedside manner-wise it was all fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copenhagen78 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 its still swelling dear, definitely will go down, wait for a month or 2 for final result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpl Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I just spent 2 hours reading this whole thread and Dr Kwon seem to be highly raved about. Now I'm stuck at choosing the surgeon as I wanna do my nose as well but Dr Kwon don't do it. I am planning for to go korea in feb 2016 I was quoted by JW beauty USD $4300- $4700 for ptosis eyes- double eyelids correction incision method + EPI Alar reduction+bridge+bulbous tip correction quoted about USD$4500-$5500 Does anyone have any experience with JW beauty or any other clinics to recommend which is cheaper but good? And also they ask for a deposit for the surgery to secure the dates. Is it really necessary does anyone have experience that after consultation there is a long waiting time for surgery?

lavender16 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Teuim asks for 1,000,000 won deposit if you want to secure surgery date prior to arrival. I think naom is right. It's better to consult with several doctors when you get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpl Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Naom, how is your research thus far? Teuim and JW prices seemed pretty much on par Base on the info posted by several on this thread. Lavender 16, I'm just worried that there won't be any slots available during the time I'm there. On the other hand I do wanna consult a few more surgeons after all it is my first time and I will be doing both nose and eyes and not to mention it cost a bomb!! My korean friend told me that she went for a DES and only cost about SGD$1500-2000 with EPI. But the clinic do not have English service and I'm worried they won't be able to understand what I want plus there isn't much to research on.

lavender16 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think Teuim should prob be able to take you... When are you going to Korea? Worse is 1-2 days wait? I consulted there and decided to go somewhere else. My eyelid surgery costs a lot and I am wiling to pay it cuz I trust that doctor. It was really really hard for me to make the decision to pay so much for my surgery. Def consult in person. Don't rush!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpl Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Lavender, I am planning to visit in mid to end Feb. Where did you end up doing your eyes? And how long has it been? Do you mind sharing any before and after photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpl Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Naom, I did ask JW if I decided not to go ahead with their clinic will the deposit be refunded and they said 3 days before the surgery. So I asked for a consultation date 3-4 days before the scheduled surgery. Still waiting for their reply.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefnoodo Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 @mundaneguy: This is perfectly normal. I had my procedure done in September so now I am almost at 4 months post-op. I experienced the majority of swelling at 3 weeks of surgery however my eyes still looked puffy and the crease was high up until 2.5 months. It will go down with time. January 7 will be my 4 months mark and I can say the crease/lids have changed completely. It looks super natural now. Hope this helps, don't stress out!

zhenzz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 sorry for the super late reply!! overall, i'm quite satisfied with my double lids and ptosis! my friends who knew all said its super natural! ptosis: i already had big eyes previously but they were like sleepy garfield, so the ptosis helped me to look more alert (and my eyes also got slightly bigger). but my eyes are still 1 big 1 small (not super obvious unless one scrutinizes them), so i felt that didn't help. but it's been only 2 months, i rmb someone (is it jillyqueen?) said hers got more even subsequently. des: the double lids are also more defined now, compared to previously where i had multiple lids on left eye, and left and right had uneven lids too. my original lids were actually quite high too, so i like this height now, hoping they'll not go down further! epi: i do notice the scars, although they're very small and no one noticed anything until i mention, but i guess there's nothing i can do now also. here's a pic of my eyes at 2.5 months!
