Hello everyone.. I left Korea yesterday. I did double eyelid, epi, ptosis correction @Teuimps.
The result is great. I like the overall looking of my eyes now, eventhough the swelling hasn't been subsided completely. Well I did the surgery on 21st Aug.. so it's still early to say but the progress has been good. I believe my eyes will look even better in a couple of months time.
Dr. Kwon @ Teuimps is really down to earth and very nice in person. He doesn't speak fluent English but he understands and will try hard to answer you in English. But if you don't have a translator with you, his partner - Dr. Kim can translate it for you as he speaks English fluently. No doubt Dr. Kwon is a skillful eye surgeon.. it's his specialty .. he doesn't do other ps.. only eyes, but also his personality is comforting (at least that's how I felt).. so that's why I chose and trusted him to do my eyes.
I met him 2x for consultations on different days, 1x before surgery, 1x right after surgery (on my request), 1x on the day after the surgery, 1x when the stitches were taken (7 days after the surgery), and 1x on the day before my departure date.
During my stay in Seoul, I met a few forumers like Shane, Sam, Emisa, Eightbelow all of which companies I enjoyed so much.. thanks all to have shared your time with me
and to Emisa & Eightbelow... praying for your recuperation
I stayed @Highland Hotel. To be honest, it's a love hotel. They don't provide a wardrobe.. only 2 coat hangers... But it's pretty clean & decent with a computerized locking door system so there will be a record in their computer for every time you're in & out (or whoever opens your room door). They change your towel everyday, fill your fridge with 2 bottles of mineral water, 1 can of gatorate, 1 can of ion drink and give you a pack of toiletries consists of toothbrush, facial foam, soap, cotton swab, shower sponge, and 2 packs of condoms hahaha
But I quite like this hotel.. 10 min walks to Apgujeong Subway Sta & Sinsa Sta.. bus stop right at the door, 5 min walk to yummy back ally eateries and the staff was friendly & quite helpful.. Especially the lady receptionist on morning shift
If you wanna do your laundry, don't do it @Highland. They will charge you almost 3x of outside laundry. Bring to a laundry place just a 5 min walks down the road towards BKDY building.
And if you wanna get your hair washed after a full week of not being able to wash it, you can go to a hair salon called Cute Hairlook at the back of the hotel... KRW10,000. But I suggest you walk 5min down the road towards BK and across the street to find a salon called Juno Hair. for the same amount of money you will get a different treatment (even if it's only a shampooing hehe). Juno Hair is like an upper class hairsalon. They'll put you on a kimono. Then when they shampoo your hair, they'll put a rolled up hot towel underneath the back of your head.. very soothing
Mini markets are everywhere. Generally they sell orange juice and aloe vera juice but I didn't find any who sold pineapple juice. Pineapple really works for my swelling
Not sure if u r still on this site, but thank u sooo much for ur account. Hope u r luving the results after the surgery!! i think i will look into Dr. Kwon now
