honeyjello Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hi everyone! I just joined pf today after being a silent on-off reader on this forum for quite some time now. I am going to Seoul next week to consult and get surgery done for my eyelids. A little background on myself: I am in my mid-twenties (although i've been told i don't look my age but younger), Chinese descent and living in Asia. For the longest time since my teens, I've been wanting to get double eyelids done as I don't like my single eyelids. I have tried many non-surgical methods over the years like eyelid tape, glue, false lashes etc, you name it I've tried it, to get double eyelids naturally but NONE of them work. These methods like tape, glue wouldn't make the temporary creases stay on my lids without hooding over or making my eyes look wonky and sausage-like. So I have given up on these methods and just gone the monolid route for years until now (cos I was a poor student who can only dream of DES while i research and save up for it). I've researched over the years on the different methods of double eyelid surgery and finally came to conclude the type of methods most suitable for my type of eyelids which are kinda puffy with some degree of fat (which is why tape and glue don't work), and I've got slightly thick eyelid skin too. Adding on to my single-lid problems is my undereyes, where i have puffiness which is super obvious when smiling, and the bags from the pocket of fats underneath my eyes don't show up evenly when I smile. Meaning to say that one eye has an eyebag double the size of the other eye's, which is freaking ugly and cannot be hidden by makeup (even industrial strength concealer can't hide that). I've made a list of what would be suitable procedures I would need to get done and listed them below. Procedures I'm considering to get done: - Partial incisional double eyelid surgery - Ptosis correction (incis/non-incis idk, will see the doc's recommendation) - magic epicanthoplasty (not sure as I have been told by 2 clinics epi is not necessary for me) - Undereye fat repositioning (still considering this one as my family is against be doing both eyelids at one go) I'll be flying out to Seoul next week and so far I've got consultations scheduled with 2 clinics - Teuim and MVP. I initially had wanted to consult 2 other clinics (gyalumhan and IVE) but sadly they couldn't do it on the day I had planned to consult. Hence, I'd like to ask for any other clinic recommendations that I could check out based on my desired procedures above. I am aiming for in-out creases with a more natural but still visible look like the picture below rather than a super-dolly look. Her eyes are my eyelid goals. Does anyone have any good recommendations based in your experience for primary DES? So far another clinic I have in mind is Braun, but does anyone know what their prices are like or are they good at eyelid surgery? I haven't seen much talk about them on pf but their B&A photos on their website seem quite nice? Would appreciate anyone's honest input here.

Wondermuffin Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hi there... I'm going in June and will be getting my eyes done. 1) There's quite a few blotched results at Braun if you do a search in purseblog. 2) MVP is a good and safe choice you've made especially if you're not going for a super dolly look. 3) Teium is too expensive imo. Dr Kwon was quite popular a few years ago on purseblog but definitely not in the current threads . I'm planning to go to Namu, Opera, MVP and Premier, Ruby. You can see the prices on my post in "prices of Korean clinics" thread. I am leaning towards Namu and Premier. I have moderate ptosis, fatty double eyelids, so similar to you . Please don't get epicanthoplasty unless you really need it (i.e you have thick Mongolian folds or your eyes are too far apart). I have been reading so much about, the issue with canthoplasty is dry eyes, looking crossed eyes, or totally no change at all. For the undereye procedure, since you are young, you may want to leave that procedure when you are 35 or older (unless you really need it). Good luck! Let us know your outcomes.

honeyjello Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Hi wondermuffin, What made you choose namu and is it good for eyelid surgery? I haven't heard much about this clinic except for rhino. Do they have english translators and who's the doctor there who does eyelid surgeries? I've consulted opera online and they did give me a good price but when i asked who's the doctor in charge for eyes, they said they have 5 doctors, which makes me hesitant because I don't know how skilled these 5 doctors are at eyes (like they don't have a dedicated specialist for eyes?).

Wondermuffin Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hey there, yeah I’m choosing Namu for consultation because they have really good results on I read the soyoung forums, and Namu does seem quite good for eyes and nose. I heard the good doctor there is Dr Kirk and they do have an English translator. For opera, I was recommended Dr Kwak who according to another purse forumer is new in the clinic. He did the eyes of the purse forumer's sister and it turned out good. Then again, I am on the fence about opera as I can't be 100% assured which doctor is the best. Also the results on Soyoung are not the best . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyjello Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 I managed to consult namu via kakao and one one of the chats in kakao, someone said of the 2 doctors named by the consultant - dr choi and dr kirk, dr kirk does PS more for nose and mature women, althpugh he does eyes as well, and dr choi does PS for the younger patients. Have you seen any of Dr choi's work or read anything good abput his results/skills? And how can i access Soyoung? Must you be registered there before you can view reviews?
