sassychic09 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 There is only one doctor specialized in "revision double eyelids surgery" at Banobagi. His name is Dr Joung. The before and after pic impress me alot. Also there r a few people writing to me and have your eyes done there have good result. The place is popular for local than BK Clinic. I like there bec less doctors. I think your quote is high bec u do more than one procedure. Regular eye revision is only $1800. But if u get the epic in the corner of the eyes than it is additional $1000-$1500 to make your eyes extra longer and bigger. The revision at Banobagi is actually cheaper than most place and the epic cost the same at most places. I rather pay a little more and get good result where I don't have to come back for second surgery. Yes I'm planning to go this Fall sometime in first week of oct 2011. That's the slow season for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worries Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 hi dear sassy..thanks for your reply. banobagi quoted me on revision lowering eyelid alone at 3.5k sing dolla r(3000000 krw). their price why such huge diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassychic09 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 is that in U.S dollars? If it is then it's like double the amount. Why don't u asked a friend to write to banobagi and ask for a quote again. How did u asked? Did u asked for quote on "double eyes revision" or what? But I think if u ask for a revision then it doesn't matter if u lower the folds or increase higher, because a fix is a fix, unless u want something else to it. Like an epic in the inner or outer corner. Let me contact them again and I let u know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krackedpanda Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 hi mrs. asian, is Dr. Kim from Korea coming to Singapore this June? I would love to go and see him as I live in Indonesia and very often go to Sing for work. I want to know where I can look for him, if he happens to operate in Sing when he is there. Do you know which hospital he will be working in? and do I need to book for him before hand, as I'm pretty sure I will also be in Singapore this June, can I just turn up to see him (does he have a clinic in SG) thanks for your info!!

eyelid_revision Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Dear girls, I went to Seoul last April for my eyelid revision surgery. I had the following problems with my previous double eyelid surgery with Dr. Charles Lee in Los Angeles: 1) Dr. Charles Lee made my folds too high and too round shaped that they didn't look natural to my face 2) Folds were too deep and they caused ECTROPION (the inner eyelids are turned out and don't look good) 3) Asymmetric folds Even though Dr. Charles Lee tried revision surgeries, he couldn't fix the problems. In fact, I became worse off as too many operated eyes become much more difficult for future revisions. With this desperation and problems that was caused by incompetent, poorly skilled Dr. Charles Lee, I went to Seoul to solve my problems with the eyelid revisions. I consulted with several doctors and I learned from talking to them that eye revisions require special skills, and not all doctors (even those who could do double eyelids first time) can perform the revisions. Revisions require doctors who specialize in it and is good at it. Here is some notes I made about some doctors regarding eye revisions: 1) Dr. Byun Gun Kim at BK - He told me straight out that he could not fix my "too deep folds and ectropion issues". He also said he could not fix asymmetry that well and I should expect asymmetry even after the revision. He could only lower my folds. Since he was not that skilled, I opted for other doctors. His rate was the lowest which is somewhat reflects and fair for his incompetency - $2500 2) Dr. Jyoung at Banobagi - He basically said he could lower my folds and also do something extra - ptosis correction. The issue here is that I do not have ptosis. It was his thing to do ptosis corrections even if patients don't have that much issue with it just for the sake of big eye effect, except I didn't want big eyes. I wanted smaller folds and fix my other problems. He didn't say anything about ectropion, deep folds so I pretty much crossed him out from my list. His rate $3200 3) VIP Clinic - Dr. Lee here is well known for nose and nose revisions, not so much for eye revisions. 4) Dr. Cho at Bando Eye Clinic - he specializes in eye and eye revisions only. He is very well regarded in many Korean websites (my Korean friends checked him out for me) for his eye revision works. He is the most expensive though. However, I was looking for solve all my problems, not bargain hunting for fixing only half of the problems. So, I chose Dr. Cho for my eye revisions. It has been a week since my eyelid revision surgery, and I can already tell that my problems are fixed - my folds are smaller (even though I have swollen eyes, I could just tell with a smile), folds are shallow and look more natural, my ectropion issue looks much better now, and my asymmetry looks fixed. I am HAPPY about my results so far. I know that from now on, my eyes will look even better and more natural. I know that there are so many girls out there (maybe victims of Dr. Charles Lee whom I think he should stop operating on girls and mutilating their faces with mediocre and half baked jobs) who are wondering about eye revisions. Here are my experiences and I wanted to share this with you. I had the same agony and the problem of not knowing the Korean language and the best doctors in Seoul. However, I have now fixed my problems with the help of good doctor, and I highly recommend him to the girls who are looking to fix "all of your eye revision problems" and would not compromise with "half revisions" with other doctors like BK's Dr. Kim or others.

In fact, I became worse off as too many operated eyes become much more difficult for future revisions for natural looking results. I also lost a lot of my muscles that lift my eyelids and also too much scarring and depressed area in my eyelids. Dr. Charles Lee is the one of the worst people in their profession - he should not have become a doctor. With this desperation, agony, and problems that were caused by incompetent, poorly skilled Dr. Charles Lee, I went to Seoul to search for a solution for my eyelid revision. I consulted with several doctors, and I learned from talking to them that eye revisions require much more skills and experiences than the first time double eyelid surgeries. Not all doctors could do revisions well. I would be better off finding someone who specializes in eye revisions and someone who could fix the problems I was having. Here is some notes I made about some doctors regarding eye revisions: 1) Dr. Byun Gun Kim at BK - He told me straight out that he could not fix my "too deep folds and ectropion issues". He was giving an excuse like "your skin is too thick". He also said I should expect a little asymmetry even after a revision. He could pretty much only lower my folds. Since he was not that skilled, I opted for other doctors. His rate was the lowest among all the doctors I consulted with, which is somewhat reflects and is fair for his incompetency - $2500 2) Dr. Jyoung at Banobagi - He basically said he could lower my folds and also do something extra - ptosis correction. The issue here is that I do not have ptosis. I felt like it was his thing to do ptosis corrections even if patients don't have that much issue with it just for the sake of bigger eye effect, except I didn't want bigger eyes. I wanted smaller folds and fix my other problems. I was looking for more natural looking eye, rather than unnatural, dramatic, asymmetric eyes that Dr. Charles Lee had created. Dr. Jyoung didn't say anything about ectropion, deep folds so I pretty much crossed him out from my list. His rate was $3200 after all the discount. 3) VIP Clinic - Dr. Lee here is well known for nose and nose revisions, not so much for eye revisions. You'd better go somewhere else for eye revisions. 4) Dr. Cho at Bando Eye Clinic - he specializes in eye and eye revisions only. He is very well regarded in many Korean websites (my Korean friends checked him out for me) for his eye revision works. He is the most expensive though. However, I was looking for solve all my problems, not bargain hunting for fixing only half of the problems. Even during the consultation, he pointed out all the problems I had and said he could fix them all. Check out his website too - he spells out each problems he could fix. I felt that other doctors just say they do revisions but in fact, there are many areas they can not fix (ectropion, deep folds, asymmetry, etc.) So, I chose Dr. Cho for my eye revisions. It has been a week since my eyelid revision surgery, and I can already tell that my problems are fixed - my folds are smaller (even though I have swollen eyes, I could just tell they are smaller already), my folds are shallower and look more natural, my ectropion issue looks much better now, and my asymmetry looks fixed. I am HAPPY about my results so far. I think that from now on, my eyes will look even better and more natural...finally, I am smiling after all these problems...I should have come to Seoul in the first place, not Dr. Charles Lee or anyone else in the states. I consulted several doctors in the states who specialize in Asian eyelid surgeries and based on what doctors in Seoul here say and what they were saying in the states, I could tell that doctors in Seoul are much better and much advanced in their technique and knowledge. I know that there are so many girls out there (some are victims of Dr. Charles Lee whom I think he should stop operating on girls and mutilating their faces with mediocre and half baked jobs) who are wondering about eye revisions. The above are my experiences, and I wanted to share this with you. I had the same agony with my eyelid issues plus the problem of not knowing the Korean language and the best doctors in Seoul.

I am writing this out of my good heart to help those who need help. We need to help each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hannee Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi Eyelids, May I know when you had your eyelids surgery with dr Charles? The reason I ask because I would like to know when i can have my eyelids reversion after my first eyelids surgery. How long do you have to wait between your first and reversion? Most doctors recommends me wait for a year...BK clinic says I can do it after some months, it depends on your condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicyme Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I am in hopes of getting a revision too in Korea.. I'm going to wait a full yr befor a revision, I think that is important. You want to give your skin enough time to heal properly before cutting it again I feel like bk is only after money >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
