Hi ,
I just like to share my DES experience in Korean which i did in July this year. Before our trip, me and my sister read up many forums, reviews n did our research on the ps clinics in korean. We shortlisted a few clinics such as Banobagi, Baum, The Line, GNG n MVP. We kakao MVP consultant and almost went ahead to place our deposit. However, my sister was not too comfortable with the consultant's reply on her enquires + she feels that she is kind of pushy. Then she chances upon this clinic, April 31, which has many good reviews on the Drs. They are known to create very natural looking ps looks which is what we want! We kakao the consultant, Brian who is very patient n details in explaining our quires. As we do not have many days in seoul, we take the risk to go ahead to book our consultation n surgery with April 31.
We reached seoul on 1 July Saturday 7am n we went straight to the clinic as we want to be the first patient to see the Dr.
Dr Won Suk Oh is the Eye Specialist in April 31. Brian told us he is the inventor for fat repositioning. However, he is a very humble Dr and doesnt like to be in the limelight so he does not have much publicity of his groundbreaking work. Dr Oh comes across to me as a very nice and friendly Dr which sets me at ease. The first thing he asked me is what do i not like about my eyes. I told him my eyes are small, droopy n asymmetrical. Plus my dark circle which adds on to my tired looking face. He took a close look at me and analysed my face for a while. Then he told me that my eyes are not small. He suggested for me to do incision DES, ptosis correction, both upper n lower eyelid fat repositioning. These will help me to "opened up" my eyes. I asked Dr Oh if i should do epicanthoplasty. He told me no which im thankfully he gave me the right advise. He also highlighted to me that after the op my left eye crease will be higher than my right eyes as it will take time for the crease to settle down n look natural.
On the same day, I was scheduled for a 1pm surgery. I got changed and the nurse brought me to the operating theatre. Dr Oh came in, did some marking on my faces before the nurse put the IV sedation on me to put me to sleep. By the time im conscious, i can feel the bandage on my lower eyelid n due to quite a no of procedures done mainly my eyes, I have difficulty opening up my eyes. My eyes are very swollen n red in the first few days after the surgery. On the following Monday, i went back to the clinic to see Dr Oh as my eyes are still very red n swollen. This really worried me a lot. Dr Oh is very patient n examined both my eyes. He gave me an injection which helps me to deswell and reduce the redness. After the injection, my recovery was much faster. By the 7th days after the op, my redness n swell have reduced greatly. And i can see my double eyelid settling very nicely. Before i left Seoul, Dr Oh sees me the last time to ensure my eyes are recovering well.
I'm into my 3rd month after the DES surgery n my left eyes crease has settled almost like my right eyes. With my eye make up, one cant tell the difference. I really love doing eye make up now ever since my DES surgery. My eyes look nicer in shape n much bigger. This really brighten up my whole face. I have received quite a number of compliments on my eyes n personally i really love it too. Im really thankful to Dr Oh's passion n delication to each of his patient.
If you are looking at DES, i would highly recommend Dr Oh. You can find April 31 website April31.com
