I went to Zestar for incisional double eyelid surgery and ptosis correction for one 1 eye (also got a rhinoplasty). I had severe ptosis in one eye. Before the surgery, my one eye would open 100% and the other would only open around 60%. So the ptosis correction was to try to fix this to make my eyes open the same size (both 100%).

It's been a year since the surgery and everyone around me says the results are very natural. The ptosis correction was not very successful since my eyes are still uneven, but it did improve a bit compared to before. Now, its around 100% and 70%. TBH, most people can't tell that my eyes are uneven unless I tell them.

I just had DES with Zestar last month, it's one month post surgery, I am very disappointed at my result, the eyes are uneven, the shape of my eyelid crease is more narrow than before, I did ptosis correction on one eye, fitting upper slit, lower the lateral. My eyes are extremely uneven, and one eye is way smaller than before, only lower cantho was ok. I chose them bc I saw their before and after photos, even tho they priced me the highest. I still went for it, but this is what i got. DON'T GO!

Hi! I'm also considering them for incisional DES + rhino this year! Your results look amazing!! How much were you charged if you don't mind me asking? Also how was the procedure, any tips/advice etc. as I will be travelling solo to do my procedures!

tbh its been awhile so i dont really remember exactly how much i was charged. I think the prices have probably gone up quite a bit since i was there tho.

As for the results now that its been 2+ years, my eyes still look the same as the photo, but for my nose the silicone implant in my nose was crooked (you can kinda see it in the photo i shared), so I recently went and got a revision rhinoplasty at a different clinic. I previously thought that the implant was crooked because i slept on my side too early, but based on what the doctor said (the one who did my revision) the implant was placed wrong into my nose and was not even sitting on top of the bone.

idk if the doctor had an off day when he was doing my rhinoplasty since all the reviews and b&a pictures online seemed great. I have to say tho, even though the silicone was crooked the doctor still did a pretty good job at making a nice nose tip and it looked good from the side. When i first came home after the surgery, all my coworkers were telling me how pretty my nose was and that they wanted to go to the same clinic if they got a nose job. Honestly, if the silicone wasn't placed incorrectly i wouldn't have gone for a revision since my nose looked pretty good.

If you do decide to go to zestar i would advise against putting a deposit. Make sure to have an in person consultation before deciding on anything. I had placed a deposit before I came to korea and was generally really disappointed with my consultation with the doctor. I was going to go to a different clinic but since they didnt have the date soon enough, I ended up having my surgery at zestar since I already had a surgery date and paid the deposit.

From what i remembered the consultation wasnt as thorough as i thought it would be and the doctor didnt seemed that interested(?). Its been so long that i dont remember clearly, I just remember not liking the consultation.

Ultimately, I would say that Zestar is not a bad clinic but definitely have the consultation first and see how you feel about the doctor before deciding to go here.
